  • Page 28: Performance Characteristics

    4.4 Performance characteristics Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters: • Command overhead • Mechanical head positioning Seek time Latency • Data transfer speed • Buffering operation (Look ahead/Write cache) All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the perfor- mance of the actual system.

  • Page 29: Table 7: Full Stroke Seek Time

    The terms “Typical” and “Max” are used throughout this document and are defined as follows: Typical The average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental and voltage conditions. Maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and voltage conditions.

  • Page 66: Logical Chs Addressing Mode

    HTS5410XXG9SA00 support both Logical CHS Addressing Mode and LBA Addressing Mode as the sector addressing mode. The host system may select either the currently selected CHS translation addressing or LBA addressing on a command-by-command basis by using the L bit in the DEVICE register. So a host system must set the L bit to 1 if the host uses LBA Addressing mode.

    10.7.1 Performance Idle Mode This mode is usually entered immediately after Active mode command processing is complete, instead of conventional idle mode. In Performance Idle mode, all electronic components remain powered and full frequency servo remains operational. This provides instantaneous response to the next command. The duration of this mode is intelligently managed as described below.

    10.8.1 Attributes Attributes are the specific performance or calibration parameters that are used in analyzing the status of the device. Attributes are selected by the device manufacturer based on that attribute's ability to contribute to the prediction of degrading or faulty conditions for that particular device. The specific set of attributes being used and the identity of these attributes is vendor specific and proprietary.

    10.10 Protected Area Function 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 entire system main memory may also be dumped into the protected area to resume after a system power off. The LBA/CYL changed by the following commands affects the Identify Device Information.

  • Page 77: Set Max Security Extension Commands

    From this point the protected area cannot be accessed until the next Set Max ADDRESS command is issued. Any BIOS, device driver, or application software accesses the drive as if it is a 528 MB device because the device behaves like a 528 MB device. 3.

    10.13.1 Auto Reassign Function The sectors that show some errors may be reallocated automatically when specific conditions are met. The spare tracks for reallocation are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. The conditions for auto-reallocation are described below. Non-recovered write errors When a write operation can not be completed after the Error Recovery Procedure (ERP) is fully carried out, the sector(s) are reallocated to the spare location.

    10.14 48-bit Address Feature Set The 48-bit Address feature set allows devices with capacities up to 281,474,976,710,655 sectors. This allows device capacity up to 144,115,188,075,855,360 bytes. In addition, the number of sectors that may be transferred by a single command are increased by increasing the allowable sector count to 16 bits. Commands unique to the 48-bit Address feature set are: •...

    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.

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.
  • Page 159 12.38.1.5 S.M.A.R.T. 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.

In this case, the user shall set the flag to enable off-line scan in addition to the other settings. If an error occurs during the scanning of the test spans, the error is reported in the self-test execution status in the SMART READ DATA response and the off-line scan is not executed.
