Table 99    Extended Comprehensive SMART Error Log 
11.18.2.1    Error log version 
The value of this version shall be 01h. 
11.18.2.2    Error log index 
This indicates the error log data structure representing the most recent error. If there have been no error log 
entries, it is cleared to 0. Valid values for the error log index are 0 to 4. 
11.18.2.3    Extended Error log data structure 
An error log data structure shall be presented for each of the last four errors reported by the device. 
These error log data structure entries are viewed as a circular buffer. The fifth error shall create an error log 
structure that replaces the first error log data structure. The next error after that shall create an error log data 
structure that replaces the second error log structure, etc.   
Unused error log data structures shall be filled with zeros. 
Data format of each error log structure is shown below.
