Abstract: A dynamic testing method for determining disk drive error rates based on the number of bytes which are read from a hard disk drive during test. The method identifies specific faulting disk sectors and disk error types and maintains a log of the errors. The method also accumulates the total number of bytes which have been read from the disk and determines whether the disk under test has exceeded acceptable error rates based on the number of bytes read during the test. This permits the method to identify a disk drive as having failed its test prior to completion of the full disk drive test cycle.

Abstract translation: 一种基于在测试期间从硬盘读取的字节数来确定磁盘驱动器错误率的动态测试方法。 该方法识别特定的故障磁盘扇区和磁盘错误类型，并维护错误日志。 该方法还会累积从磁盘读取的总字节数，并根据测试期间读取的字节数，确定被测磁盘是否超过可接受的错误率。 这样就可以在完成磁盘驱动器测试周期之前将该磁盘驱动器识别为未通过测试。
