The following table defines the 512 bytes that make up the Self-test log sector. All multibyte fields shown in these
data structures follow the ATA/ATAPI-5 specifications for byte ordering.
Table 149: Self-test log data structure
Note: N is 0 through 20
The data structure contains the descriptor of the Self-test that the device has performed. Each descriptor is 24 bytes
long and the self-test data structure is capable to contain up to 21 descriptors.
After 21 descriptors has been recorded, the oldest descriptor will be overwritten with the new descriptor.
The self-test log index points to the most recent descriptor. When there is no descriptor, the value is 0. When there
are one or more descriptors, the value is 1 through 21.
