Provides a detailed description of SMART Attribute support and how each may be used.
Kingston® DC1000H, DC1000B, A1000, A2000, KC1000 and KC2000 SMART Attribute Details
Byte Index |
Description |
0Critical Warning: This field indicates critical warnings for the state of the controller. Each bit corresponds to a critical warning type; multiple bits may be set. If a bit is cleared to ‘0’, then that critical warning does not apply. Critical warnings may result in an asynchronous event notification to the host. Bits in this field represent the current associated state and are not persistent.
Bit Definition
|
00: If set to ‘1’, then the available spare space has fallen below the threshold. |
|
01: If set to ‘1’, then a temperature is above an over temperature threshold or below an under temperature |
|
threshold. |
|
02: If set to ‘1’, then the NVM subsystem reliability has been degraded due to significant media related |
|
errors or any internal error that degrades NVM subsystem reliability. |
|
03: If set to ‘1’, then the media has been placed in read only mode. |
|
04: If set to ‘1’, then the volatile memory backup device has failed. This field is only valid if the controller |
|
has a volatile memory backup solution. |

Composite Temperature: Contains a value corresponding to a temperature in degrees Kelvin that |
|
represents the current composite temperature of the controller and namespace(s) associated with that |
|
controller. The manner in which this value is computed is implementation specific and may not represent the |
|
actual temperature of any physical point in the NVM subsystem. The value of this field may be used to trigger |
|
an asynchronous event. |
|
Warning and critical overheating composite temperature threshold values are reported by the WCTEMP and |
|
CCTEMP fields in the Identify Controller data structure. |
|
|
3 |
Available Spare: Contains a normalized percentage (0 to 100%) of the remaining spare capacity available. |
4Available Spare Threshold: When the Available Spare falls below the threshold indicated in this field, an asynchronous event completion may occur. The value is indicated as a normalized percentage (0 to 100%).
5Percentage Used: Contains a vendor specific estimate of the percentage of NVM subsystem life used based on the actual usage and the manufacturer’s prediction of NVM life. A value of 100 indicates that the estimated endurance of the NVM in the NVM subsystem has been consumed, but may not indicate an NVM subsystem failure. The value is allowed to exceed 100. Percentages greater than 254 shall be represented as 255. This value shall be updated once per power-on hour (when the controller is not in a sleep state).

Data Units Read: Contains the number of 512 byte data units the host has read from the controller; this |
|
value does not include metadata. This value is reported in thousands (i.e., a value of 1 corresponds to 1000 |
|
units of 512 bytes read) and is rounded up. When the LBA size is a value other than 512 bytes, the controller |
|
shall convert the amount of data read to 512 byte units. |
|
For the NVM command set, logical blocks read as part of Compare and Read operations shall |
|
be included in this value. |
|
|
63:48 |
Data Units Written: Contains the number of 512 byte data units the host has written to the controller; |
|
this value does not include metadata. This value is reported in thousands (i.e., a value of 1 corresponds to |
|
1000 units of 512 bytes written) and is rounded up. When the LBA size is a value other than 512 bytes, the |
|
controller shall convert the amount of data written to 512 byte units. |
|
For the NVM command set, logical blocks written as part of Write operations shall be included |
|
in this value. Write Uncorrectable commands shall not impact this value. |
