Data Out Commands - Hitachi HTS541010G9AT00 - Travelstar 100 GB Hard Drive Specifications

If an error occurs, the device will set BSY=0, ERR=1, and DRQ=1. The device will then store the error status in the
Error Register. The registers will contain the location of the sector in error. The erroneous location will be reported
with CHS mode or LBA mode, the mode is decided by mode select bit (bit 6) of Device register on issuing the
command.
If an Uncorrectable Data Error (UNC=1) occurs, the defective data will be transferred from the media to the sector
buffer, and will be available to be transferred to the host, at the host's option. In case of Read Multiple command,
the host should complete transfer the block which includes the error from the sector buffer and terminate whatever
kind of type of error occurred.
All data transfers to the host through the Data Register are 16 bits, except for the ECC bytes, which are 8 bits.

to the device.
Execution includes the transfer of one or more 512 byte (>512 bytes on Write Long) sectors of data from the host to
the device.
If the device detects an invalid parameter, then it will abort the command by setting BSY=0, ERR=1, ABT=1.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the device will set BSY=0 and ERR=1, store the error status in the Error Register.
The registers will contain the location of the sector in error. The errored location will be reported with CHS mode
or LBA mode. The mode is decided by mode select bit (bit 6) of Device register on issuing the command.
All data transfers to the device through the Data Register are 16 bits, except for the ECC bytes, which are 8 bits.
