Table 69 LBA Segment Access (Outputs)

The LBA Segment Access command will begin writing sectors from Start LBA in incrementing order until
Count sectors have been written. A Count of zero means apply operation from Start LBA until the last user
LBA on the drive is reached. The HPA feature determines the last user LBA. This command will not write
over a hidden partition when hidden partitions are enabled using the Host Protected Area drive capabilities.
Automatic sector reassignment is permitted during the operation of this function.
If Start LBA or Start LBA + Count go beyond the last user LBA then an error is reported and the SCT
command is not executed. Issuing this command with a value of zero for Start LBA and Count will cause all
LBAs of the drive to be written the specified pattern.
Once the key sector has been issued, if the Function Code was 0002h or 0102h and the TF Data indicates
that the drive is ready to receive data, log page E1h should be written to transfer the data.
