SMART Return Status (subcommand DAh)
This subcommand is used to communicate the reliability status of the device to the host's request. Upon receipt of the
SMART Return Status subcommand the device saves any updated Attribute Values to the reserved sector, and
compares the updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Thresholds.
SMART Enable/Disable Automatic Off-line (subcommand DBh)
This subcommand enables and disables the optional feature that cause the device to perform the set of off-line data
collection activities that automatically collect attribute data in an off-line mode and then save this data to the device's
nonvolatile memory. This subcommand may either cause the device to automatically initiate or resume performance of
its off-line data collection activities or cause the automatic off-line data collection feature to be disabled. This
subcommand also enables and disables the off-line read scanning feature that cause the device to perform the entire
read scanning with defect reallocation as the part of the off-line data collection activities. The Sector Count register shall
be set to specify the feature to be enabled or disabled:
Sector Count Feature Description
00h Disable Automatic Off-line
F8h Enable Automatic Off-line
A value of zero written by the host into the device's Sector Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause
the automatic off-line data collection feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does not preclude the device from
saving attribute values to nonvolatile memory during some other normal operation such as during a power-on, during a
power-off sequence, or during an error recovery sequence. A value of F8h written by the host into the device's Sector
Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause the automatic Off-line data collection feature to be enabled.
Any other non-zero value written by the host into this register before issuing this subcommand is vendor specific and will
not change the current Automatic Off-Line Data Collection and Off-line Read Scanning status. However, the device may
respond with the error code specified in “SMART Error Codes”.

The Flash SSD is shipped with master password set to 20h value (ASCII blanks) and the lock function disabled. The
system manufacturer/dealer may set a new master password by using the SECURITY SET PASSWORD command,
without enabling the lock function.
Initial setting of the user password
When a user password is set, the drive automatically enters lock mode by the next powered-on.
SECURITY mode operation from power-on
In locked mode, the Flash SSD rejects media access commands until a SECURITY UNLOCK command is successfully
completed.
Password lost
If the user password is lost and High level security is set, the drive does not allow the user to access any data. However,
