    5.0 Data integrity 5.1 Data loss at power off Data loss will not be caused by a power off during any operation except the write operation. A power off during a write operation causes the loss of any received or resident data that has not been writ- ten onto the disk media.
  • Page 32: Write Safety

    5.4 WRITE safety The drive ensures that the data is written into the disk media properly. The following conditions are moni- tored during a write operation. When one of these conditions exceeds the criteria, the write operation is ter- minated and the automatic retry sequence is invoked. •...

    5.8 ECC The 52 byte four way interleaved ECC processor provides user data verification and correction capability. The first 4 bytes of ECC are check bytes for user data and the other 48 bytes are Read Solomon ECC. Each interleave has 12 bytes for ECC. Hardware logic corrects up to 20 bytes (5 bytes for each interleave) errors on-the-fly.

    11.6.4 Standby timer The standby timer provides a method for the device to automatically enter standby mode from either active or idle mode following a host programmed period of inactivity. If the device is in the active or idle mode, the device waits for the specified time period and if no command is received, the device automatically enters the standby mode.

    11.8 S.M.A.R.T. Function The intent of Self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is to protect user data and prevent unscheduled system downtime that may be caused by predictable degradation and/or fault of the device. By monitoring and storing critical performance and calibration parameters, S.M.A.R.T. devices employ sophisticated data analysis algorithms to predict the likelihood of near-term degradation or fault condition.

    11.8.6 S.M.A.R.T. operation with power management modes The device saves attribute values automatically on every head unload timing except the emergency unload, even if the attribute auto save feature is not enabled. The head unload is done not only by Standby, Standby Immediate, Sleep command, and Hard Reset, but also by the Standby timer.

    This command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host. The figure shown above defines the content of this sector of information. The password supplied in the sector of data transferred is compared with the stored Set Max password. If the password compare fails, then the device returns command aborted and decrements the unlock counter.

    11.12 Seek Overlap The drive provides accurate seek time measurement method. The seek command is usually used to measure the device seek time by accumulating execution time for a number of seek commands. With typical implementation of the seek command, this measurement must include the device and host command overhead. To eliminate this overhead, the drive overlaps the seek command as described below.

Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Values subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, saves any updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sectors, asserts DRQ, clears BSY, asserts INTRQ, and then waits for the host to transfer the 512 bytes of Attribute Value information from the device via the Data Register.

Execute Off-line Immediate (subcommand D4h) This subcommand causes the device to immediately initiate the set of activities that collect Attribute data in an off- line mode (off-line routine) or execute a self-test routine in either captive or off-line mode. The LBA Low register shall be set to specify the operation to be executed.
