Device Attribute Thresholds Data Structure
14.40.3
The following defines the 512 bytes that make up the Attribute Threshold information. This data
structure is accessed by the host in its entirety using the S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds. All
multi-byte fields shown in these data structures follow the ATA/ATAPI-6 specification for byte
ordering, namely that the least significant byte occupies the lowest numbered byte address location
in the field.
The sequence of active Attribute Thresholds will appear in the same order as their corresponding
Attribute Values.

This value is the same as the value used in the Device Attributes Values Data Structure.
14.40.3.2
The following defines the 12 bytes that make up the information for each Threshold entry in the
Device Attribute Thresholds Data Structure. Attribute entries in the Individual Threshold Data
Structure is in the same order and correspond to the entries in the Individual Attribute Data
Structure.
Description
Attribute ID Number (01h to FFh)
Attribute Threshold (for comparison with Attribute Values
from 00h to FFh)
00h -
"always passing" threshold value to be
used for code test purposes
minimum value for normal operation
01h -
maximum value for normal operation
FDh -
invalid for threshold value
FEh -
"always failing" threshold value to be used
FFh -
for code test purposes
Reserved (00h)
