Me I see zero-valued log parms returned by the drive on MY desk, e.g.:
     x 0002 03 10 00 ...
     x 0003 03 10 00 ...
     x 0004 03 10 00 ...
     ...
I saw that by clicking thru Win BusTrace > BusProbe >
     LogSense > 10h Self-Test Results Page
     Send Diagnostic > Background Short Self-Test
     Request Sense > Fixed Format Sense Data [while progressing]
     LogSense > 10h Self-Test Results Page
