    9.3 Diagnostic and reset considerations For each Reset and Execute Device Diagnostic the diagnostic is done as follows: Power On Reset. DASP- is read by Device 0 to determine if Device 1 is present. If Device 1 is present, Device 0 shall read PDIAG- to determine when it is valid to clear the BSY bit and whether Device 1 has powered on or reset without error.

  • Page 90: Sector Addressing Mode

    9.4 Sector Addressing Mode All addressing of data sectors recorded on the drive media is by a logical sector address. The logical CHS address for the drive is different from the actual physical CHS location of the data sector on the disk media.

  • Page 91: Overlapped And Queued Feature

    9.5 Overlapped and queued feature Overlap allows devices to perform a bus release so that the other device on the bus may be used. To perform a bus release the device clears both DRQ and BSY to zero. When selecting the other device during overlapped operations, the host shall disable interrupts via the nIEN bit on the currently selected device before writing the Device/Head register to select the other device.

    9.6 Power management feature The power management feature functions permit a host to reduce the power required to operate the drive. It provides a set of commands and a timer that enables a device to implement low power consumption modes. The drive implements the following set of functions: ! Standby timer ! Idle command...

    9.7 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.

Disabling SMART disables the delivering of error log information via the SMART READ LOG SECTOR command. If a device receives a firmware modification, all error log data is discarded and the device error count for the life of the device is reset to zero.

  • Page 96: Security Mode Feature Set

    9.8 Security Mode Feature Set Security Mode Feature Set is a powerful security feature. With a device lock password, a user can prevent unauthorized access to a hard disk drive even if the device is removed from the computer. The following commands are supported for this feature: ('F1'h) Security Set Password ('F2'h)

    9.9 Host Protected Area Function The Host Protected Area Function provides a protected area which cannot be accessed via conventional methods. This protected area is used to contain critical system data such as BIOS or system management information. The contents of the main memory of the entire system may also be dumped into the protected area to resume after system power off.

    4. Advanced usage using protected area The data in the protected area is accessed by the following method: Issue Read Native Max Address command to get the real device maximum LBA. Returned value shows that native device maximum LBA is 12,692,735 (C1ACFFh) regardless of the current setting.

  • Page 104: Seek Overlap

    9.10 Seek Overlap The Travelstar 120GXP provides an accurate method for measuring seek time. The seek command is usually used to measure the device seek time by accumulating the execution time for a number of seek commands. With typical implementation of seek command this measurement must include the device and host command overhead.

  • Page 105: Write Cache Function

    9.11 Write cache function Write cache is a performance enhancement whereby the device reports the completion of the write com- mand (Write Sectors, Write Multiple, and Write DMA) to the host as soon as the device has received all of the data into its buffer.

    Upon receipt of the subcommand from the host the device asserts BSY, enables or disables the Autosave feature, clears BSY, and asserts INTRQ. 11.33.1.4 SMART Save Attribute Values (Subcommand D3h) This subcommand causes the device to immediately save any updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sector of the device regardless of the state of the Attribute Autosave feature.
  • Page 181 11.33.1.7 SMART Write Log Sector (Subcommand D6h) This command writes 512 bytes data to the specified log sector. The 512 bytes data are transferred at a command and the Sector Count value shall be set to one. The Sector Number shall be set to specify the log sector address as shown in the above figure. If the Read Only log sector is specified, the device returns ABRT error.

    A value of zero written by the host into the Sector Count register of the device before issuing this sub- command causes the feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does not preclude the device from saving attribute values to nonvolatile memory during some other normal operation such as during a power-on or power-off sequence or during an error recovery sequence.
