effort. Each level may consist of multiple error recovery steps. See individual drive's Product Manual, Vol-
ume 1, for more details on the levels of error recovery available.
[16] The Recovery Time Limit field (bytes 10 and 11) specifies the maximum time in milliseconds that the host
allows the drive to spend in error recovery efforts during the execution of a command. The Read and Write
Retry count can also be set to limit the amount of time the drive spends in error recovery of individual
LBAs. The total of all times used to recover individual LBAs in the block called for by a command cannot
exceed the Recovery Time Limit value in bytes 10 and 11. Once the drive has reached the error recovery
time limit for a particular command, the command ends with a Check Condition status and an unrecov-
ered error is reported. A Recovery Time Limit of FFFFh or 0000h means that the command recovery time
is unlimited. A value of 0001h means that no time shall be spent in error recovery. A changeable Recovery
Time Limit is not supported on all drives supported by this manual. See individual drive's Product Manual,
Volume 1, Mode page changeable bit settings for Mode page 01h, bytes 10 and 11.
[17] In SCSI-1 mode of operation, this byte is the recovery time limit value (see note [16]).
