Appendix B lists the internal status codes with their descriptions.
B.2 Internal Status Code
The internal status code is located at byte offset 18 of the request sense data and may be
available after certain types of failures.
_________________________ Note _____________________________
This byte has two formats: a byte code, and a bit flags format. The bit flags
format is used when there is no internal status code to report, and can be
distinguished by bit 7 being set.
