sense code indicates the cause of the informational exception condition.
The command that has the Check Condition completes without error before any informational exception
condition may be reported.

conditions, regardless of the value of the per bit of the error recovery parameters mode page, by returning
a Check Condition status on any command. The sense key is set to Recovered Error and the additional
sense code indicates the cause of the information exception condition.
The command that has the Check Condition completes without error before any informational exception
condition may be reported.
