Thank you! But there are a couple of incorrect attribute names below. The rest look good.

  1. 194 should be Temperature
  2. 195 should be Power Fail Health

FYI, the unknown attributes (167, 169, 172, 181, 182) are covered here:

Indeed, a typo in one attribute number invalidated both. Thanks for catching.

Will add these also, thanks.

Hello,

I tried to use the trunk version of drivedb.h on a SEDC500M960G, but it looks like there are two minor issues related to the bad blocks counters :

  • On attribute AAh, the byte mask changed on the DC500 :

DC400 :

Raw Value Byte [1~0]: Early bad block count
Raw Value Byte [5~4]: Later bad block count

DC 500 :

Raw Value Byte [3~0]: Early bad block count
Raw Value Byte [5~4]: Later bad block count

Currently, the both use the same mask (z54z10).

  • Attribute C4h is unused on the DC400, and used as "Total Later Bad Block Count" on the DC500. On the DC500 I tested, the attribute is incorrectly interpreted as "Reallocated_Event_Count" (Default value for this attribute).

I may create another ticket if you prefer.

I'm unsure on the byte mask issue you brought up. Maybe Christian can clarify on that point?

For attribute 196 it does count later bad blocks, but a later bad block triggers a reallocation event as well. So "Reallocated_Event_Count" is not technically incorrect.

comment:12 Changed 4 years ago by Matthew Eaton

Now I think I see what you mean regarding byte mask.

I think byte 3~0 is an error in our SMART document and it should be 1~0. I will confirm with our engineering.

comment:13 Changed 4 years ago by yhemery

Ok for the byte mask, thanks for checking.

About the attribute 196 : Most of the definitions I found for the "Reallocated_Event_Count" seems to describe it as the number of attempts by the firmware to move data from a defective block to a safer place : It might end up with a different value than the bad block count if the firmware perform more than one reallocation attempt, unless I'm mistaken ?

I see what you're saying and that might be true for another drive manufacturer. Unlike NVMe there is no standard set for SMART attributes for SATA.

The way I understand it is the drive internally keeps track of used spare blocks so logically it wouldn't try to reallocate a bad block to a used/bad spare block and then try again.

I heard back from our engineering regarding attr 170:

Since bytes 3~2 will be zero anyway, the documentation is still accurate and future-proof.

So I think we are good until a future drive makes use of bytes 3~2.

Ok, thanks for taking the time to check that.
