SMART Error Log Version: 1
ATA Error Count: 49 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
CR = Command Register [HEX]
FR = Features Register [HEX]
SC = Sector Count Register [HEX]
SN = Sector Number Register [HEX]

CH = Cylinder High Register [HEX]
DH = Device/Head Register [HEX]

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.
Error 49 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 531 hours (22 days + 3 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
After command completion occurred, registers were:
