The host must regularly issue the SMART Read Attribute Values subcommand (FR register =
D0h), SMART Save Attribute Values subcommand (FR register = D3h), or SMART Return Status
subcommand (FR register = DAh) to save the device attribute value data on a medium.
Alternative, the device must issue the SMART Enable-Disable Attribute AutoSave subcommand
(FR register = D2h) to use a feature which regularly save the device attribute value data to a
medium.
The host can predict failures in the device by periodically issuing the SMART Return Status
subcommand (FR register = DAh) to reference the CL and CH registers.
If an attribute value is below the insurance failure threshold value, the device is about to fail or the
device is nearing the end of it life . In this case, the host recommends that the user quickly backs
up the data.
