The SCSI Request Sense command is part of the SCSI computer protocol standard. This command is used to obtain sense data -- status/error information -- from a target device. An initiator sends the command to a device (such as a disk drive), and then retrieves the resulting sense data. The sense data can indicate anything from a success/normal condition, to simple problems (such as no disk being loaded), to serious hardware failures.

Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!”
