4.4 Performance characteristics

Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:

 Command Overhead

 Mechanical Positioning

 Seek Time

 Latency

 Data Transfer Speed

 Buffering Operation (Look ahead/Write Cache)

Note: All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters which

contribute to the performance of the actual system. This specification defines the essential characteristics

of the drive. This specification does not include the system throughput as this is dependent upon the

system and the application.

The following table gives a typical value for each parameter. The detailed descriptions are found in

section 5.0.

The seek time is measured from the start of motion of the actuator to the start of a reliable read or write

operation. A reliable read or write operation implies that error correction/recovery is not employed to

correct arrival problems. The Average Seek Time is measured as the weighted average of all possible

seek combinations.

4.4.3 Operating modes

Operating mode Description

Spin-Up Start up time period from spindle stop or power down.

Seek Seek operation mode

Write Write operation mode

Read Read operation mode

Performance idle The device is capable of responding immediately to idle media access requests. All

electronic components remain powered and the full frequency servo remains

operational.

Active idle

The device is capable of responding immediately to media access requests. Some

circuitry—including servo system and R/W electronics—is in power saving mode.

The head is parked near the mid-diameter the disk without servoing.

A device in Active idle mode may take longer to complete the execution of a

command because it must activate that circuitry.

Low power idle The head is unloaded onto the ramp position. The spindle motor is rotating at full

speed.

Standby The device interface is capable of accepting commands. The spindle motor is

stopped. All circuitry but the host interface is in power saving mode.

The execution of commands is delayed until the spindle becomes ready.

Sleep The device requires a soft reset or a hard reset to be activated. All electronics,

including spindle motor and host interface, are shut off.

4.4.3.3 Adaptive power save control

The transient timing from Performance Idle mode to Active Idle mode and Active Idle mode to Low

Power Idle mode is controlled adaptively according to the access pattern of the host system. The

transient timing from Low Power Idle mode to Standby mode is also controlled adaptively, if it is

allowed by Set Features Enable Advanced Power Management subcommand.

5 Data integrity

5.1 Data loss on 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 written onto the disk media.

 A power off during a write operation might make a maximum of one sector of data unreadable. This

state can be recovered by a rewrite operation.

5.2 Write Cache

When the write cache is enabled, the write command may complete before the actual disk write operation

finishes. This means that a power off, even after the write command completion, could cause the loss of

data that the drive has received but not yet written onto the disk.

In order to prevent this data loss, confirm the completion of the actual write operation prior to the power

off by issuing a

 Soft reset

 COMRESET

 Flush Cache command

 Standby command

 Standby Immediate command

 Sleep command

Confirm the command’s completion.

5.3 Equipment status

The equipment status is available to the host system any time the drive is not ready to read, write, or seek.

This status normally exists at the power-on time and will be maintained until the following conditions are

satisfied:

 The access recalibration/tuning is complete.

 The spindle speed meets the requirements for reliable operation.

 The self-check of the drive is complete.

The appropriate error status is made available to the host system if any of the following conditions occur

after the drive has become ready:

 The spindle speed lies outside the requirements for reliable operation.

 The occurrence of a Write Fault condition.

5.4 WRITE safety

The drive ensures that the data is written into the disk media properly. The following conditions are

monitored during a write operation. When one of these conditions exceeds the criteria, the write operation

is terminated and the automatic retry sequence is invoked.

 Head off track

 External shock

 Low supply voltage

 Spindle speed out of tolerance

 Head open/short

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

24/173

5.5 Data buffer test

The data buffer is tested at power on reset and when a drive self-test is requested by the host. The test

consists of a write/read '00'x and 'ff'x pattern on all buffers.

5.6 Error recovery

Errors occurring on the drive are handled by the error recovery procedure.

Errors that are uncorrectable after application of the error recovery procedure are reported to the host

system as nonrecoverable errors.

5.7 Automatic reallocation

The sectors that show some errors may be reallocated automatically when specific conditions are met.

The drive does not report any auto reallocation to the host system. The conditions for auto reallocation

are described below.

5.7.1 Nonrecovered write errors

When a write operation cannot be completed after the Error Recovery Procedure (ERP) is fully carried out,

the sectors are reallocated to the spare location. An error is reported to the host system only when the

write cache is disabled and the auto reallocation has failed.

5.7.2 Nonrecoverable read error

When a read operation fails after ERP is fully carried out, a hard error is reported to the host system. This

location is registered internally as a candidate for the reallocation. When a registered location is specified

as a target of a write operation, a sequence of media verification is performed automatically. When the

result of this verification meets the required criteria, this sector is reallocated.

5.7.3 Recovered read errors

When a read operation for a sector fails and is recovered at the specific ERP step, the sector is

reallocated automatically. A media verification sequence may be run prior to the reallocation according to

the predefined conditions.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

25/173

5.8 ECC

The 10 bit 40 symbol non interleaved ECC processor provides user data verification and correction

capability. The first 6 symbol of ECC are 4 check symbols for user data and the 2 symbol system ECC.

The other 34 symbols are Read Solomon ECC. Hardware logic corrects up to 16 symbols(20 bytes)

errors on-the-fly.

2 symbol System ECC is generated when HDC receives user data from HOST, and can correct up to 1

symbol(10bit) errors on-the-fly when one transfers to HOST.

6.3 Reliability

6.3.1 Data reliability

 Probability of not recovering data is 1 in 1013 bits read

 ECC implementation

On-the-fly correction performed as a part of read channel function recovers up to 16 symbols of error in 1

sector (1 symbol is 10 bits).

6.3.2 Failure prediction (S.M.A.R.T.)

The drive supports Self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology (S.M.A.R.T.) function. The details

are described in section 11.8, "S.M.A.R.T. Function" on page 84 and in Section 13.32, "S.M.A.R.T.

Function Set (B0h)" on page 163.

6.3.3 Cable noise interference

To avoid any degradation of performance throughput or error when the interface cable is routed on top or

comes in contact with the HDA assembly, the drive must be grounded electrically to the system frame by

four screws. The common mode noise or voltage level difference between the system frame and power

cable ground or AT interface cable ground should be in the allowable level specified in the power

requirement section.

6.3.4 Service life and usage condition

The drive is designed to be used under the following conditions:

 The drive should be operated within specifications of shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, altitude,

and magnetic field.

 The drive should be protected from ESD.

 The breathing hole in the top cover of the drive should not be covered.

 Force should not be applied to the cover of the drive.

 The specified power requirements of the drive should be satisfied.

 The drive frame should be grounded electrically to the system through four screws.

 The drive should be mounted with the recommended screw depth and torque.

 The interface physical and electrical requirements of the drive should satisfy ATA-6.

 The power-off sequence of the drive should comply with the 6.4.6.2,"Required power-off

sequence.”

Service life of the drive is approximately 5 years or 20,000 power on hours, whichever comes first, under

the following assumptions:

 Less than 333 power on hours per month.

 Seeking/Writing/Reading operation is less than 20% of power on hours.

This does not represent any warranty or warranty period. Applicable warranty and warranty period are

covered by the purchase agreement.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

31/173

6.3.5 Preventive maintenance

None.

6.3.6 Load/unload

The product supports a minimum of 600,000 normal load/unloads.

Load/unload is a functional mechanism of the hard disk drive. It is controlled by the drive micro code.

Specifically, unloading of the heads is invoked by the following commands:

 Standby

 Standby immediate

 Sleep

Load/unload is also invoked as one of the idle modes of the drive.

The specified start/stop life of the product assumes that load/unload is operated normally, not in

emergency mode.

6.3.6.1 Emergency unload

When hard disk drive power is interrupted while the heads are still loaded the micro code cannot operate

and the normal 5-volt power is unavailable to unload the heads. In this case, normal unload is not

possible. The heads are unloaded by routing the back EMF of the spinning motor to the voice coil. The

actuator velocity is greater than the normal case and the unload process is inherently less controllable

without a normal seek current profile.

Emergency unload is intended to be invoked in rare situations. Because this operation is inherently

uncontrolled, it is more mechanically stressful than a normal unload.

The drive supports a minimum of 20,000 emergency unloads.

6.3.6.2 Required Power-Off Sequence

The required host system sequence for removing power from the drive is as follows:

 Step 1: Issue one of the following commands.

 Standby

 Standby immediate

 Sleep

Note: Do not use the Flush Cache command for the power off sequence because this command

does not invoke Unload.

 Step 2: Wait until the Command Complete status is returned.

In a typical case 500 ms are required for the command to finish completion; however, the host system

time out value needs to be 30 seconds considering error recovery time. Refer to section 15.0,

"Time-out values," on page 172.

 Step 3: Terminate power to HDD.

This power-down sequence should be followed for entry into any system power-down state, system

suspend state, or system hibernation state. In a robustly designed system, emergency unload is limited

to rare scenarios, such as battery removal during operation.

6.3.6.3 Power switch design considerations

In systems that use the Travelstar 7K200 consideration should be given to the design of the system

power switch.

Hitachi recommends that the switch operate under control of the BIOS, as opposed to being hardwired.

The same recommendation is made for cover-close switches. When a hardwired switch is turned off,

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

32/173

emergency unload occurs, as well as the problems cited in section 5.1, "Data loss by power off" on page

19 and section 5.2, “Write Cache” on page 19.

6.3.6.4 Test considerations

Start/stop testing is classically performed to verify head/disk durability. The heads do not land on the disk,

so this type of test should be viewed as a test of the load/unload function.

Start/Stop testing should be done by commands through the interface, not by power cycling the drive.

Simple power cycling of the drive invokes the emergency unload mechanism and subjects the HDD to

nontypical mechanical stress.

Power cycling testing may be required to test the boot-up function of the system. In this case HItachi

recommends that the power-off portion of the cycle contain the sequence specified in section 6.4.6.2,

"Required Power-Off Sequence” on page 29. If this is not done, the emergency unload function is

invoked and nontypical stress results.

6.4.3 Connector and jumper description

Connector specifications are included in section 7.2, "Interface connector" on page 41.

6.4.4 Mounting orientation

The drive will operate in all axes (six directions) and will stay within the specified error rates when tilted ±5

degrees from these positions.

Performance and error rate will stay within specification limits if the drive is operated in the other

permissible orientations from which it was formatted. Thus a drive formatted in a horizontal orientation will

be able to run vertically and vice versa.

The recommended mounting screw torque is 0.3±0.05 Nm.

The recommended mounting screw depth is 3.0±0.3 mm for bottom and 3.5±0.5 mm for horizontal

mounting.

The user is responsible for using the appropriate screws or equivalent mounting hardware to mount

the drive securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration of the drive at seek operation or

spindle rotation.

6.4.5 Load/unload mechanism

The head load/unload mechanism is provided to protect the disk data during shipping, movement, or

storage. Upon power down, a head unload mechanism secures the heads at the unload position. See

section 6.5.4, "Nonoperating shock" on page 36 for additional details.

11 Registers

In Serial ATA, the host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional

device registers, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. Shadow Register Block registers are

interface registers used for delivering commands to the device or posting status from the device.

About details, please refer to the Serial ATA Specification.

In the following cases, the host adapter sets the BSY bit in its shadow Status Register and transmits

a FIS to the device containing the new contents.

• Command register is written in the Shadow Register Block

• Device Control register is written in the Shadow Register Block with a change of state of the

SRST bit

• COMRESET is requested

12.3 Power-off considerations

12.3.1 Load/Unload

Load/Unload is a functional mechanism of the HDD. It is controlled by the drive microcode.

Specifically, unloading of the heads is invoked by the commands:

Command Response

Standby UL -> Comp.

Standby immediate UL -> Comp.

Sleep UL -> Comp.

“UL” means “unload”.

“Comp” means “complete”.

Table 33 Device’s behavior by ATA commands

Load/unload is also invoked as one of the idle modes of the drive.

The specified start/stop life of the product assumes that load/unload is operated normally, NOT in

emergency mode.

12.3.2 Emergency unload

When HDD power is interrupted while the heads are still loaded, the microcode cannot operate and

the normal 5V power is unavailable to unload the heads. In this case, normal unload is not possible,

so the heads are unloaded by routing the back-EMF of the spinning motor to the voice coil. The

actuator velocity is greater than the normal case, and the unload process is inherently less

controllable without a normal seek current profile.

Emergency unload is intended to be invoked in rare situations. Because this operation is inherently

uncontrolled, it is more mechanically stressful than a normal unload.

A single emergency unload operation is more stressful than 100 normal unloads. Use of emergency

unload reduces the start/stop life of the HDD at a rate at least 100X faster than that of normal

unload, and may damage the HDD.

12.3.3 Required power-off sequence

Problems can occur on most HDDs when power is removed at an arbitrary time. Examples:

 Data loss from the write buffer.

 If the drive is writing a sector, a partially-written sector with an incorrect ECC block results. The sector

contents are destroyed and reading that sector results in a hard error.

 Heads possibly land in the data zone instead of landing zone, depending on the design of the HDD.

You may then turn off the HDD in the following order:

1. Issue Standby Immediate or sleep command.

2. Wait until COMMAND COMPLETE STATUS is returned. (It may take up to 350 ms in typical case)

3. Terminate power to HDD.

This power-down sequence should be followed for entry into any system power-down state, or system

suspend state, or system hibernation state. In a robustly designed system, emergency unload is

limited to rare scenarios such as battery removal during operation.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

53/173

12.4 Sector Addressing Mode

All addressing of data sectors recorded on the device’s media is by a logical sector address. The

logical CHS address for HTS7220XXK9SA00 / HTS7220XXK9A300 is different from the actual

physical CHS location of the data sector on the disk media.

HTS7220XXK9SA00 / HTS7220XXK9A300 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.

12.4.1 Logical CHS Addressing Mode

The logical CHS addressing is made up of three fields: the cylinder number, the head number and

the sector number. Sectors are numbered from 1 to the maximum value allowed by the current CHS

translation mode but can not exceed 255(0FFh). Heads are numbered from 0 to the maximum value

allowed by the current CHS translation mode but can not exceed 15(0Fh). Cylinders are numbered

from 0 to the maximum value allowed by the current CHS translation mode but cannot exceed

65535(0FFFFh).

When the host selects a CHS translation mode using the INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS

command, the host requests the number of sectors per logical track and the number of heads per

logical cylinder. The device then computes the number of logical cylinders available in requested

mode.

The default CHS translation mode is described in the Identify Device Information. The current CHS

translation mode also is described in the Identify Device Information.

12.4.2 LBA Addressing Mode

Logical sectors on the device shall be linearly mapped with the first LBA addressed sector (sector 0)

being the same sector as the first logical CHS addressed sector ( cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1).

Irrespective of the logical CHS translation mode currently in effect, the LBA address of a given

logical sector does not change. The following is always true:

LBA = ( (cylinder * heads_per_cylinder + heads)

* sectors_per_track ) + sector - 1

where heads_per_cylinder and sectors_per_track are the current translation mode values.

On LBA addressing mode, the LBA value is set to the following register.

Device <--- LBA bits 27-24

LBA High <--- LBA bits 23-16

LBA Mid <--- LBA bits 15- 8

LBA Low <--- LBA bits 7- 0

12.5 Power Management Feature

The power management feature set permits a host to modify the behavior in a manner which

reduces the power required to operate. The power management feature set provides a set of

commands and a timer that enables a device to implement low power consumption modes.

HTS7220XXK9SA00 / HTS7220XXK9A300 implement the following set of functions.

1. A Standby timer

2. Idle command

3. Idle Immediate command

4. Sleep command

5. Standby command

6. Standby Immediate command

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

54/173

12.5.1 Power Mode

Sleep Mode The lowest power consumption when the device is powered on occurs in Sleep Mode.

When in sleep mode, the device requires a reset to be activated.

Standby Mode The device interface is capable of accepting commands, but as the media may not

immediately accessible, there is a delay while waiting for the spindle to reach

operating speed.

Idle Mode Refer to the section of Adaptive Battery Life Extender Feature.

Active Mode The device is in execution of a command or accessing the disk media with read

look-ahead function or write cache function.

12.5.2 Power Management Commands

The Check Power Mode command allows a host to determine if a device is currently in, going to or

leaving standby mode.

The Idle and Idle Immediate commands move a device to idle mode immediately from the active or

standby modes. The idle command also sets the standby timer count and starts the standby timer.

The sleep command moves a device to sleep mode. The device’s interface becomes inactive at the

completion of the sleep command. A reset is required to move a device out of sleep mode. When a

device exits sleep mode it will enter standby mode.

The Standby and Standby Immediate commands move a device to standby mode immediately from

the active or idle modes. The standby command also sets the standby timer count.

12.5.3 Standby/Sleep command completion timing

1. Confirm the completion of writing cached data in the buffer to media

2. Unload heads on the ramp

3. Set DRDY bit and DSC bit in Status Register

4. Activate the spindle break to stop the spindle motor

5. Wait until spindle motor is stopped

6. Perform post process

12.5.4 Status

In the active, idle and standby modes, the device shall have RDY bit of the status register set. If BSY

bit is not set, device shall be ready to accept any command.

In sleep mode, the device’s interface is not active. A host shall not attempt to read the device’s status

or issue commands to the device.

12.5.5 Interface Capability for Power Modes

Each power mode affects the physical interface as defined in the following table:

Mode BSY RDY Interface active Media

Active x x Yes Active

Idle 0 1 Yes Active

Standby 0 1 Yes Inactive

Sleep x x No Inactive

Table 34 Power conditions

Ready(RDY) is not a power condition. A device may post ready at the interface even though the

media may not be accessible.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

55/173

12.5.6 Initial Power Mode at Power On

After power on the device goes to IDLE mode or STANDBY mode depending on the setting of the

Power Up in Standby Feature set

12.6 Advanced Power Management (Adaptive

Battery Life Extender 3) Feature

This feature provides power saving without performance degradation. The Adaptive Battery Life

Extender 3 (ABLE-3) technology intelligently manages transition among power modes within the

device by monitoring access patterns of the host.

This technology has three idle modes; Performance Idle mode, Active Idle mode, and Low Power Idle

mode.

This feature allows the host to select an advanced power management level. The advanced power

management level is a scale from the lowest power consumption setting of 01h to the maximum

performance level of FEh. Device performance may increase with increasing advanced power

management levels. Device power consumption may increase with increasing advanced power

management levels. The advanced power management levels contain discrete bands, described in the

section of Set Feature command in detail.

This feature set uses the following functions:

 A SET FEATURES subcommand to enable Advanced Power Management

 A SET FEATURES subcommand to disable Advanced Power Management

The Advanced Power Management feature is independent of the Standby timer setting. If both

Advanced Power Management level and the Standby timer are set, the device will go to the Standby

state when the timer times out or the device’s Advanced Power Management algorithm indicates

that it is time to enter the Standby state.

The IDENTIFY DEVICE response word 83, bit 3 indicates that Advanced Power Management

feature is supported if set. Word 86, bit 3 indicates that Advanced Power Management is enabled if

set.

Word 91, bits 7-0 contain the current Advanced Power Management level if Advanced Power

Management is enabled.

12.6.1 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.

12.6.2 Active Idle mode

In this mode, power consumption is 45-55% less than that of Performance Idle mode. Additional

electronics are powered off, and the head is parked near the mid-diameter of the disk without

servoing. Recovery time to Active mode is about 20ms.

12.6.3 Low Power Idle mode

Power consumption is 60%-65% less than that of Performance Idle mode. The heads are unloaded on

the ramp, however the spindle is still rotated at the full speed. Recovery time to Active mode is about

300ms.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

56/173

12.6.4 Transition Time

The transition time is dynamically managed by users recent access pattern, instead of fixed times.

The ABLE-3 algorithm monitors the interval between commands instead of the command frequency

of ABLE-2. The algorithm supposes that next command will come with the same command interval

distribution as the previous access pattern. The algorithm calculates the expected average saving

energy and response delay for next command in several transition time case based on this

assumption. And it selects the most effective transition time with the condition that the calculated

response delay is shorter than the value calculated from the specified level by Set Feature Enable

Advanced Power Management command.

The optimal time to enter Active Idle mode is variable depending on the users recent behavior. It is

not possible to achieve the same level of Power savings with a fixed entry time into Active Idle

because every users data and access pattern is different. The optimum entry time changes over time.

The same algorithm works for entering into Low Power Idle mode and Standby mode, which

consumes less power but need more recovery time switching from this mode to Active mode.

12.7 Interface Power Management Mode

(Slumber and Partial)

Interface Power Management Mode is supported by both Device-initiated interface power

management and Host-initiated interface power management. Please refer to the Serial ATA

Specification about Power Management Mode.

12.8 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. By alerting the host system of a negative reliability status

condition, the host system can warn the user of the impending risk of a data loss and advise the user

of appropriate action.

Since S.M.A.R.T. utilizes the internal device microprocessor and other device resources, there may

be some small overhead associated with its operation. However, special care has been taken in the

design of the S.M.A.R.T. algorithms to minimize the impact to host system performance. Actual

impact of S.M.A.R.T. overhead is dependent on the specific device design and the usage patterns of

the host system. To further ensure minimal impact to the user, S.M.A.R.T. capable devices are

shipped from the device manufacturer’s factory with the S.M.A.R.T. feature disabled. S.M.A.R.T.

capable devices can be enabled by the system OEMs at time of system integration or in the field by

aftermarket products.

12.8.1 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.

12.8.2 Attribute values

Attribute values are used to represent the relative reliability of individual performance or

calibration attributes. Higher attribute values indicate that the analysis algorithms being used by

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

57/173

the device are predicting a lower probability of a degrading or fault condition existing. Accordingly,

lower attribute values indicate that the analysis algorithms being used by the device are predicting a

higher probability of a degrading or fault condition existing. There is no implied linear reliability

relationship corresponding to the numerical relationship between different attribute values for any

particular attribute.

12.8.3 Attribute thresholds

Each attribute value has a corresponding attribute threshold limit which is used for direct

comparison to the attribute value to indicate the existence of a degrading or faulty condition. The

numerical value of the attribute thresholds are determined by the device manufacturer through

design and reliability testing and analysis. Each attribute threshold represents the lowest limit to

which its corresponding attribute value can be equal while still retaining a positive reliability status.

Attribute thresholds are set at the device manufacturer’s factory and cannot be changed in the field.

The valid range for attribute thresholds is from 1 through 253 decimal.

12.8.4 Threshold exceeded condition

If one or more attribute values are less than or equal to their corresponding attribute thresholds,

then the device reliability status is negative, indicating an impending degrading or faulty condition.

12.8.5 S.M.A.R.T. commands

The S.M.A.R.T. commands provide access to attribute values, attribute thresholds and other logging

and reporting information.

12.8.6 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, or Sleep command, but also by the automatic power saving functions

like ABLE-3 or Standby timer. So basically it is not necessary for a host system to enable the

attribute auto save feature, when it utilizes the power management. If the attribute auto save

feature is enabled, attribute values will be saved after 30minutes passed since the last saving,

besides above condition.

12.9 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 hard disk device even if the device is removed from the computer.

New commands are supported for this feature as below.

Security Set Password (‘F1’h)

Security Unlock (‘F2’h)

Security Erase Prepare (‘F3’h)

Security Erase Unit (‘F4’h)

Security Freeze Lock (‘F5’h)

Security Disable Password (‘F6’h)

12.9.1 Security mode

Following security modes are provided.

Device Locked mode The device disables media access commands after power on. Media access

commands are enabled by either a security unlock command or a security

erase unit command.

Device Unlocked mode The device enables all commands. If a password is not set this mode is

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

58/173

entered after power on, otherwise it is entered by a security unlock or a

security erase unit command.

Device Frozen mode The device enables all commands except those which can update the device

lock function, set/change password. The device enters this mode via a

Security Freeze Lock command. It cannot quit this mode until power off.

12.9.2 Security Level

Following security levels are provided.

High level security When the device lock function is enabled and the User Password is

forgotten the device can be unlocked via a Master Password.

Maximum level security When the device lock function is enabled and the User Password is

forgotten then only the Master Password with a Security Erase Unit

command can unlock the device. Then user data is erased.

12.9.3 Password

This function can have 2 types of passwords as described below.

Master Password When the Master Password is set, the device does NOT enable the Device

Lock Function, and the device can NOT be locked with the Master

Password, but the Master Password can be used for unlocking the device

locked.

User Password The User Password should be given or changed by a system user. When the

User Password is set, the device enables the Device Lock Function, and

then the device is locked on next power on reset. If Software Setting

Preservation is disabled, the device is locked on COMRESET as well.

The system manufacturer/dealer who intends to enable the device lock function for the end users,

must set the master password even if only single level password protection is required. Otherwise, if

the User Password is forgotten then no one can unlock the device which is locked with the User

Password.

12.9.4 Master Password Revision Code

This Master Password Revision Code is set by Security Set Password command with the master

password. And this revision code field is returned in the Identify Device command word 92. The valid

revision codes are 0001h to FFFEh. The default value of Master Password Revision Code is FFFEh.

Value 0000h and FFFFh is reserved.

12.9.5 Operation example

12.9.5.1 Master Password setting

The system manufacturer/dealer can set a initial Master Password using the Security Set Password

command, without enabling the Device Lock Function.

12.9.5.2 User Password setting

When a User Password is set, the device will automatically enter lock mode the next time the device

is powered on.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

12.9.1.3 User Password Lost

If the User Password is forgotten and High level security is set, the system user can’t access any

data. However the device can be unlocked using the Master Password.

If a system user forgets the User Password and Maximum security level is set, data access is

impossible. However the device can be unlocked using the Security Erase Unit command to unlock

the device and erase all user data with the Master Password.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

Figure 7 Password Lost

12.9.1.4 Attempt limit for SECURITY UNLOCK command

The SECURITY UNLOCK command has an attempt limit. The purpose of this attempt limit is to

prevent that someone attempts to unlock the drive by using various passwords many times.

The device counts the password mismatch. If the password does not match, the device counts it up

without distinguishing the Master password and the User password. If the count reaches 5, EXPIRE

bit(bit 4) of Word 128 in Identify Device information is set, and then SECURITY ERASE UNIT

command and SECURITY UNLOCK command are aborted until a power off. The count and EXPIRE

bit are cleared after a power on reset.

12.10 Protected Area Function

Protected Area Function is to provide the ‘protected area’ which can not be accessed via conventional

method. This ‘protected area’ is used to contain critical system data such as BIOS or system

management information. The contents of entire system main memory may also be dumped into

‘protected area’ to resume after system power off.

The LBA/CYL changed by following command affects the Identify Device Information.

Two commands are defined for this function.

Read Native Max Address (‘F8’h)

Set Max Address (‘F9’h)

Four security extension commands are implemented as sub-functions of the Set Max Address.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

64/173

Set Max Set Password

Set Max Lock

Set Max Freeze Lock

Set Max Unlock

12.10.1 Example for operation (In LBA mode)

Assumptions :

For better understanding, the following example uses actual values for LBA, size, etc. Since it is just

an example, these values could be different.

Device characteristics

Capacity (native) : 536,870,912 byte (536MB)

Max LBA (native) : 1,048,575 (0FFFFFh)

Required size for protected area : 8,388,608 byte

Required blocks for protected area : 16,384 (004000h)

Customer usable device size : 528,482,304 byte (528MB)

Customer usable sector count : 1,032,192 (0FC000h)

LBA range for protected area : 0FC000h to 0FFFFFh

Shipping HDDs from HDD manufacturer

When the HDDs are shipped from HDD manufacturer, the device has been tested to have a

capacity of 536MB,flagging the media defects not to be visible by system.

1. Preparing HDDs at system manufacturer

Special utility software is required to define the size of protected area and store the data into it.

The sequence is :

Issue Read Native Max Address command to get the real device max of LBA/CYL. Returned value shows

that native device Max LBA is 0FFFFFh regardless to the current setting.

Make entire device be accessible including the protected area by setting device Max LBA as 0FFFFFh via

Set Max Address command. The option could be either nonvolatile or volatile.

Test the sectors for protected area (LBA >= 0FC000h) if required.

Write information data such as BIOS code within the protected area.

Change maximum LBA using Set Max Address command to 0FBFFFh with nonvolatile option.

From this point, the protected area cannot be accessed until next Set Max Address command is issued.

Any BIOSes, device drivers, or application software access the HDD as if that is the 528MB device

because the device acts exactly same as real 528MB device does.

2. Conventional usage without system software support

Since the HDD works as 528MB device, there is no special care to use this device for normal use.

3. Advanced usage using protected area

The data in the protected area is accessed by following.

Issue Read Native Max Address command to get the real device max LBA/CYL. Returned value

shows that native device Max LBA is 0FFFFFh regardless of the current setting.

Make entire device be accessible including the protected area by setting device Max LBA as

0FFFFFh via Set Max Address command with volatile option. By using this option, unexpected

power removal or reset will not make the protected area remained accessible.

Read information data from protected area.

Issue POR to inhibit any access to the protected area.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

12.10.2 Set Max security extension commands

The Set Max Set Password command allows the host to define the password to be used during the

current power on cycle. This password is not related to the password used for the Security Mode

Feature set. When the password is set the device is in the Set Max Unlocked mode.

This command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host. The table shown below

defines the content of this sector of information. The password is retained by the device until the

next power cycle. When the device accepts this command the device is in Set Max Unlocked mode.

Word Content

0 Reserved

1-16 Password (32 bytes)

17-255 Reserved

Table 37 Set Max Set Password data content

The Set Max Lock command allows the host to disable the Set Max commands (except Set Max

Unlock and Set Max Freeze Lock) until the next power cycle or the issuance and acceptance of the

Set Max Unlock command. When this command is accepted the device is in the Set Max Locked

mode.

The Set Max Unlock command changes the device from the Set Max Locked mode to the Set Max

Unlocked mode.

This command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host. The Table 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. On the acceptance of the Set

Max Lock command, this counter is set to a value of five and is decremented for each password

mismatch when Set Max Unlock is issued and the device is locked. When this counter reaches zero,

then the Set Max Unlock command returns command aborted until a power cycle.

The Set Max Freeze Lock command allows the host to disable the SET Max commands (including Set

Max Unlock) until the next power cycle. When this command is accepted the device is in the Set Max

Frozen mode.

The password, the Set Max security mode and the unlock counter don’t persist over a power cycle but

does persist over a COMRESET or software reset.

Note that If this command is immediately preceded by a Read Native Max Address command

regardless of Feature register value, it shall be interpreted as a Set Max Address command.

12.11 Seek Overlap

HTS7220XXK9SA00 / HTS7220XXK9A300 provide 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 including the device and host command overhead. To eliminate this overhead,

HTS7220XXK9SA00 / HTS7220XXK9A300 overlap the seek command as described below.

The first seek command completes before the actual seek operation is over. Then device can receive

the next seek command from the host but actual seek operation for the next seek command starts

right after the actual seek operation for the first seek command is completed. In other words, the

execution of two seek commands overlaps excluding the actual seek operation.

With this overlap, total elapsed time for a number of seek commands is the total accumulated time

for the actual seek operation plus one pre and post overhead. When the number of seeks is large, just

this one overhead can be ignored.

Figure 9 Seek overlap

12.12 Write Cache Function

Write cache is a performance enhancement whereby the device reports completion of the write

command (Write Sector(s) and Write Multiple) to the host as soon as the device has received all of

the data into its buffer. The device assumes responsibility to write the data subsequently onto the

disk.

 While writing data after completed acknowledgment of a write command, soft reset or COMRESET does

not affect its operation. But power off terminates writing operation immediately and unwritten data are to

be lost.

 Flush cache, Soft reset, Standby, Standby Immediate and Sleep are executed after the completion of

writing to disk media on enabling write cache function. So the host system can confirm the completion of

write cache operation by issuing flush cache command, Soft reset, Standby command, Standby Immediate

command or Sleep command, and then, by confirming its completion.

12.13 Reassign Function

The reassign Function is used with read commands and write commands. The sectors of data for

reassignment are prepared as the spare data sector. The one entry can register 256 consecutive

sectors maximally.

This reassignment information is registered internally, and the information is available right after

completing the reassign function. Also the information is used on the next power on reset.

If the number of the spare sector reaches 0 sector, the reassign function will be disabled

automatically.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

67/173

The spare tracks for reassignment are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. As a result of

reassignment, the physical location of logically sequenced sectors will be dispersed.

12.13.1 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. An error is reported to the host system

only when the write cache is disabled and the auto reallocation fails.

If the number of available spare sectors reaches 16 sectors, the write cache function will be disabled

automatically.

Non recovered read errors

When a read operation fails after defined ERP is fully carried out, a hard error is reported to the

host system. This location is registered internally as a candidate for the reallocation. When a

registered location is specified as a target of a write operation, a sequence of media verification is

performed automatically. When the result of this verification meets the criteria, this sector is

reallocated.

Recovered read errors

When a read operation for a sector failed once then recovered at the specific ERP step, this sector of

data is reallocated automatically. A media verification sequence may be run prior to the relocation

according to the pre-defined conditions.

12.14 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:

 Flush Cache Ext

 Read DMA Ext

 Read Multiple Ext

 Read Native Max Address Ext

 Read Sector(s) Ext

 Read Verify Sector(s) Ext

 Set Max Address Ext

 Write DMA Ext

 Write Multiple Ext

 Write Sector(s) Ext

The 48-bit Address feature set operates in LBA addressing only. Devices also implement commands

using 28-bit addressing, and 28-bit and 48-bit commands may be intermixed.

Support of the 48-bit Address feature set is indicated in the Identify Device response bit 10 word 83.

In addition, the maximum user LBA address accessible by 48-bit addressable commands is contained

in Identify Device response words 100 through 103.

When the 48-bit Address feature set is implemented, the native maximum address is the value

returned by a Read Native Max Address Ext command. If the native maximum address is equal to or

less than 268,435,455, a Read Native Max Address shall return the native maximum address. If the

native maximum address is greater than 268,435,455, a Read Native Max Address shall return a

value of 268,435,455.

12.15 Software Setting Preservation Feature Set

When a device is enumerated, software will configure the device using Set Features and other

commands. These software settings are often preserved across software reset but not necessarily

across hardware reset. In Parallel ATA, only commanded hardware resets can occur, thus legacy

software only reprograms settings that are cleared for the particular type of reset it has issued. In

Serial ATA, COMRESET is equivalent to hard reset and a non-commanded COMRESET may occur

if there is an asynchronous loss of signal. Since COMRESET is equivalent to hardware reset, in the

case of an asynchronous loss of signal some software settings may be lost without legacy software

knowledge. In order to avoid losing important software settings without legacy driver knowledge,

the software settings preservation ensures that the value of important software settings is

maintained across a COMRESET. Software settings preservation may be enabled or disabled using

Set Features with a subcommand code of 06h. Software settings preservation is enabled by default.

12.15.1 Preserved software settings

If Software setting preservation is enabled, the following settings are preserved across COMRESET.

Otherwise settings are cleared across COMRESET.

Native Command Queuing feature (Read / Write FPDMA Queued commands) is supported. Please

refer to the Serial ATA II Specification about Native Command Queuing.

The host shall not issue a legacy ATA command while a native queued command is outstanding.

Upon receiving a legacy ATA command while a native queued command is outstanding, the device

aborts the command and halts command processing of outstanding native queued commands.

13 Command Protocol

The commands are grouped into different classes according to the protocols followed for command

execution. The command classes with their associated protocols are defined below.

Please refer to Serial ATA Revision 2.6 (Section 11. device command layer protocol) about each

protocol.

For all commands, the host must first check if BSY=1, and should proceed no further unless and

until BSY=0. For all commands, the host must also wait for RDY=1 before proceeding.

A device must maintain either BSY=1 or DRQ=1 at all times until the command is completed. The

INTRQ signal is used by the device to signal most, but not all, times when the BSY bit is changed

from 1 to 0 during command execution.

A command shall only be interrupted with a COMRESET or software reset. The result of writing to

the Command register while BSY=1 or DRQ=1 is unpredictable and may result in data corruption. A

command should only be interrupted by a reset at times when the host thinks there may be a

problem, such as a device that is no longer responding.

Interrupts are cleared when the host reads the Status Register, issues a reset, or writes to the

Command Register.

“Table 138 Timeout Values” on Page 171 shows the device timeout values.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

Execution includes the transfer of one or more 512 byte (>512 bytes on Read Long) sectors of data

from the device to the host.

Note that the status data for a sector of data is available in the Status Register before the sector is

transferred to the host.

If the device detects an invalid parameter, then it will abort the command by setting BSY=0, ERR=1,

ABT=1.

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.

14.2.3 DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY (subcommand

C2h)

The DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command returns a 512 byte data structure via PIO

data-in transfer. The content of this data structure indicates the selectable commands, modes, and

feature sets that the device is capable of supporting. If a DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command

has been issued reducing the capabilities, the response to an IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY

PACKET DEVICE command will reflect the reduced set of capabilities, while the DEVICE

CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command will reflect the entire set of selectable capabilities.

The format of the Device Configuration Overlay data structure is shown on next page.

14.2.4 DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET (subcommand C3h)

The DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command allows a device manufacturer or a personal

computer system manufacturer to reduce the set of optional commands, modes, or feature sets

supported by a device as indicated by a DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command. The

DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command transfers an overlay that modifies some of the bits set

in words 63, 78, 79, 82, 83, 84, and 88 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command response. When the bits

in these words are cleared, the device no longer supports the indicated command, mode, or feature

set. If a bit is set in the overlay transmitted by the device that is not set in the overlay received from

a DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command, no action is taken for that bit.

The format of the overlay transmitted by the device is described in the table at next page. The

restrictions on changing these bits are described in the text following that table. If any of the bit

modification restrictions described are violated or any setting is changed with DEVICE

CONFIGURATION SET command, the device shall return command aborted. At that case, error

reason code is returned to sector count register, invalid word location is returned to LBA High

register, and invalid bit location is returned to LBA Mid register. The Definition of error information

is shown on the next page.

Table 52 Format Unit Command (F7h)

The Format Unit command initializes all user data sectors after merging reassigned sector location

into the defect information of the device and clearing the reassign information. Both new reassign

information and new defect information are available right after this command completion, and are

also used on next power on reset. Both previous information are erased from the device by this

command.

Note that the Format Unit command initializes from LBA 0 to Native MAX LBA. Host MAX LBA set

by Initialize Drive Parameter or Set MAX ADDRESS command is ignored. So the protected area by

Set MAX ADDRESS commands is also initialized.

The security erase prepare command should be completed immediately prior to the Format Unit

command. If the device receives a Format Unit command without a prior Security Erase Prepare

command the device aborts the Format Unit command.

If Feature register is NOT 11h, the device returns Abort error to the host.

This command does not request to data transfer.

Table 64 Idle Command (E3h/97h)

When the power save mode is Standby mode, the Idle command causes the device to enter

performance Idle mode immediately, and set auto power down timeout parameter(standby timer).

And then the timer starts counting down. When the device’s power save mode is already any idle

mode, the device keep that mode.

When the Idle mode is entered, the device is spun up to operating speed. If the device is already

spinning, the spin up sequence is not executed.

During Idle mode the device is spinning and ready to respond to host commands immediately.

Output Parameters To The Device

Sector Count Timeout Parameter. If zero, the timeout interval(Standby Timer) is disabled. If other than

zero, the timeout interval is set for (Timeout Parameter x5) seconds.

The device will enter Standby mode automatically if the timeout interval expires with no

device access from the host. The timeout interval will be reinitialized if there is a device

access before the timeout interval expires.

Table 65 Idle Immediate Command (E1h/95h)

The Idle Immediate command causes the device to enter performance Idle mode.

The device is spun up to operating speed. If the device is already spinning, the spin up sequence is

not executed.

During Idle mode the device is spinning and ready to respond to host commands immediately.

The Idle Immediate command will not affect the auto power down timeout parameter.

Unload Feature:

The UNLOAD FEATURE of the IDLE IMMEDIATE command allows the host to immediately unload the heads.

The device stops read look-ahead if it is in process. If the device is performing a write operation, the device

suspends writing cached data onto the media as soon as possible. The data in the write cache is retained, and the

device resumes writing the cached data onto the media after receiving a Software Reset, a Hardware Reset, or any

new command except IDLE IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD FEATURE.

14.16.5 Phy Event Counter

Phy Event Counters are a feature to obtain more information about Phy level events that occur on

the interface. The counter values are not retained across power cycles. The counter values are

preserved across COMRESET and software resets.

14.16.5.1 Counter Reset Mechanisms

There are 2 mechanisms by which the host can explicitly cause the Phy counters to be reset. The

first mechanism is to issue a BIST Activate FIS to the drive. The second mechanism uses the Read

Log Ext command. When the drive receives a Read Log Ext command for log page 11h and bit 0 in

Feature register is set to one, the drive returns the current counter values for the command and then

resets all Phy event counter values.

14.16.5.2 Counter Identifiers

Each counter begins with a 16-bit identifier. The following table defines the counter value for each

identifier.

For all counter descriptions, “transmitted” refers to items sent by the drive to the host and “received”

refers to items received by the drive from the host.

Bits 14:12 of the counter identifier convey the number of significant bits that counter uses. All

counter values consumes a multiple of 16-bits. The valid values for bit 14:12 and the corresponding

counter size are:

1h 16-bit counter

2h 32-bit counter

3h 48-bit counter

4h 64-bit counter

The Security Erase Unit command initializes all user data sectors, then disables the device lock

function.

Note that the Security Erase Unit command initializes from LBA 0 to Native Max LBA. Host Max

LBA set by Initialize Drive Parameter or Set Max Address command is ignored. So the protected

area by Set Max Address command is also initialized.

This command requests to transfer a single sector data from the host including information specified

in the following table.

If the password does not match then the device rejects the command with an Aborted error.

Table 96 Erase Unit Information

Identifier Zero indicates that the device should check the supplied password against the user password

stored internally. One indicates that the device should check the given password against the

master password stored internally.

The Security Erase Unit command erases all user data and disables the security mode feature (device lock function).

So after completing this command, all user data will be initialized to zero with write operation. At this time, it is not

verified with read operation whether the sector of data is initialized correctly. Also, the defective sector information

and the reassigned sector information for the device are not updated. The security erase prepare command should be

completed immediately prior to the Security Erase Unit command. If the device receives a Security Erase Unit

command without a prior Security Erase Prepare command the device aborts the security erase unit command.

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

126/173

This command disables the security mode feature (device lock function), however the master

password is still stored internally within the device and may be re-activated later when a new user

password is set. If you execute this command on disabling the security mode feature (device lock

function), the password sent by the host is NOT compared with the password stored in the device for

both the Master Password and the User Password, and then the device only erases all user data.

Code is not set. The Revision Code field is returned in Identify Device word 92. The valid

Revision Codes are 0000h to FFFDh. Default Master Password Revision Code is FFFEh.

FFFFh is reserved.

The setting of the Identifier and Security level bits interact as follows.

Identifier=User / Security level = High

The password supplied with the command will be saved as the new user password. The security

mode feature (lock function) will be enabled from the next power on. The file may then be unlocked

by either the user password or the previously set master password.

Identifier=Master / Security level = High

This combination will set a master password but will NOT enable the security mode feature (lock

function).

Identifier=User / Security level = Maximum

The password supplied with the command will be saved as the new user password. The security

mode feature (lock function) will be enabled from the next power on. The file may then be unlocked

by only the user password. The master password previously set is still stored in the file but may

NOT be used to unlock the device.

Identifier=Master / Security level = Maximum

This combination will set a master password but will NOT enable the security mode feature (lock

function).

Table 100 Security Unlock Command (F2h)

This command unlocks the password and causes the device to enter device unlock mode. If

COMRESET with Software Setting Preservation disable or power on reset is done without executing

the Security Disable Password command after this command is completed, the device will be in

device lock mode. The password has not been changed yet.

The Security Unlock command requests to transfer a single sector of data from the host including

information specified in the following table.

If the Identifier bit is set to master and the file is in high security mode then the password supplied

will be compared with the stored master password. If the file is in maximum security mode then the

security unlock will be rejected.

If the Identifier bit is set to user, then the file compares the supplied password with the stored user

password.

If the password compare fails then the device returns an abort error to the host and decrements the

unlock attempt counter. This counter is initially set to 5 and is decremented for each password

mismatch. When this counter reaches zero then all password protected commands are rejected until

a power off.

Word Description

00 Control word

bit 0 : Identifier (1-Master, 0-User)

bit 1-15 : Reserved

01-16 Password (32 bytes)

17-255 Reserved

Table 101 Security Unlock Information

Identifier Zero indicates that device regards Password as User Password. One indicates that device

regards Password as Master Password.

The user can detect if the attempt to unlock the device has failed due to a mismatched password as this is the only

reason that an abort error will be returned by the file AFTER the password information has been sent to the device.

If an abort error is returned by the device BEFORE the password data has been sent to the file then another

problem exists.

Table 105 Set Max Address Command (F9h)

The Set Max Address command overwrites the max LBA/CYL of HDD in a range of actual device

capacities. The device receives this command, all accesses beyond that LBA/CYL are rejected with

setting ABORT bit in status register. Identify device command and Identify device DMA command

returns the LBA/CYL which is set via this command as a default value.

This command implement SET Max security extension commands as subcommands. But regardless

of Feature register value, the case this command is immediately preceded by a Read Native Max

Address command, it is interpreted as a Set Max Address command.

The Read Native Max Address command should be issued and completed immediately prior to

issuing Set Max Address command. Otherwise this command is interpreted as a Set Max security

extension command which is destinated by feature register. If Set Max security mode is in the

Locked or Frozen, the Set Max Address command is aborted.

For more information, see “12.10.2 Set Max security extension commands” on Page 65.

In CHS mode, LBA High, LBA Mid specify the max cylinder number. The Head number of Device

and LBA Low are ignored. The default value(See default CHS in Identify device information) is used

for that.

In LBA mode, the Head number of Device, LBA High, LBA Mid and LBA Low specify the max LBA.

This command sets this LBA as the max LBA of the device.

After a successful command completion, Identify Device response words (61:60) shall reflect the

maximum address set with this command.

If the 48-bit Address feature set is supported, the value placed in Identify Device response words

(103:100) shall be the same as the value placed in words (61:60). However, if the device contains

greater than 268,435,455 sectors, the capacity addressable with 28-bit commands, and the address

requested is 268,435,455, the max address shall be changed to the native maximum address, the

value placed in words (61:60) shall be 268,435,455 and the value placed in words (103:100) shall be

the native maximum address.

If a host protected area has been established by a Set Max Address Ext command, the device shall

return command aborted.

14.39.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds (Subcommand D1h)

This subcommand returns the device’s Attribute Thresholds to the host. Upon receipt of the

S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds subcommand from the host, the device reads the Attribute

Thresholds from the Attribute Threshold sectors and then waits for the host to transfer the 512

bytes of Attribute Thresholds information from the device.

14.39.1.3 S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave (Subcommand

D2h)

This subcommand enables and disables the attribute autosave feature of the device. The S.M.A.R.T.

Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand allows the device to automatically save its updated

Attribute Values to the Attribute Data Sector at the timing of the first transition to Active idle mode

after 30 minutes since the last saving of Attribute Values; this subcommand causes the autosave

feature to be disabled. The state of the Attribute Autosave feature (either enabled or disabled) will

be preserved by the device across power cycle.

A value of 00h written by the host into the device’s Sector Count Register before issuing the

S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be disabled.

Disabling this feature does not preclude the device from saving Attribute Values to the Attribute

Data sectors during some other normal operation such as during a power-up or power-down.

A value of F1h written by the host into the device’s Sector Count Register before issuing the

S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be enabled.

Any other non-zero value written by the host into this register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T.

Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will not change the current Autosave status but the

device will respond with the error code specified in “Table 123 S.M.A.R.T. Error Codes” on Page 155.

The S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand disables the autosave feature along with the

device’s S.M.A.R.T. operations.

Upon the receipt of the subcommand from the host the device enables or disables the Autosave

feature.

14.39.1.4 S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values (Subcommand D3h)

This subcommand causes the device to immediately save any updated Attribute Values to the

device’s Attribute Data sector regardless of the state of the Attribute Autosave feature. Upon receipt

of the S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values subcommand from the host, the device writes any updated

Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sector.

14.39.1.5 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.

132 Execute SMART selective self-test routine immediately in captive mode

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

143/173

Off-line mode: The device executes command completion before executing the specified routine.

During execution of the routine the device will not set BSY nor clear DRDY. If the device is in the

process of performing its routine and is interrupted by a new command from the host, the device will

abort or suspend its routine and service the host within two seconds after receipt of the new

command. After servicing the interrupting command, the device will resume its routine

automatically or not start its routine depending on the interrupting command.

Captive mode: When executing self-test in captive mode, the device sets BSY to one and executes the

specified self-test routine after receipt of the command. At the end of the routine, the device sets the

execution result in the Self-test execution status byte and ATA registers as below and executes

command completion.

Status Set ERR to one when self-test has failed

Error Set ABRT to one when self-test has failed

LBA Mid Set to F4h when self-test has failed

LBA High Set to 2Ch when self-test has failed

SMART Selective self-test routine

When the value in the LBA Low register is 4 or 132, the Selective self-test routine shall be

performed. This self-test routine shall include the initial tests performed by the Extended self-test

routine plus a selectable read scan. The host shall not write the Selective self-test log while the

execution of a Selective self-test command is in progress.

The user may choose to do read scan only on specific areas of the media. To do this, user shall set the

test spans desired in the Selective self-test log and set the flags in the Feature flags field of the

Selective self-test log to indicate do not perform off-line scan. In this case, the test spans defined

shall be read scanned in their entirety. The Selective self-test log is updated as the self-test proceeds

indicating test progress. When all specified test spans have been completed, the test is terminated

and the appropriate self-test execution status is reported in the S.M.A.R.T. READ DATA response

depending on the occurrence of errors. The following figure shows an example of a Selective selftest

definition with three test spans defined. In this example, the test terminates when all three test

spans have been scanned.

Figure 10 Selective self-test test span example

After the scan of the selected spans described above, a user may wish to have the rest of media read

scanned as an off-line scan. 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 S.M.A.R.T. READ DATA response and the off-line scan is not

executed. When the test spans defined have been scanned, the device shall then set the offline scan

pending and active flags in the Selective self-test log to one, the span under test to a value greater

than five, the self-test execution status in the S.M.A.R.T. READ DATA response to 00h, set a value

of 03h in the off-line data collection status in the S.M.A.R.T. READ DATA response and shall

7K200 SATA OEM Specification

144/173

proceed to do an off-line read scan through all areas not included in the test spans. This off-line read

scan shall completed as rapidly as possible, no pauses between block reads, and any errors

encountered shall not be reported to the host. Instead error locations may be logged for future

reallocation. If the device is powered-down before the off-line scan is completed, the off-line scan

shall resume when the device is again powered up. From power-up, the resumption of the scan shall

be delayed the time indicated in the Selective self-test pending time field in the Selective self-test

log. During this delay time the pending flag shall be set to one and the active flag shall be set to zero

in the Selective self-test log. Once the time expires, the active flag shall be set to one, and the off-line

scan shall resume. When the entire media has been scanned, the off-line scan shall terminate, both

the pending and active flags shall be cleared to zero, and the off-line data collection status in the

S.M.A.R.T. READ DATA response shall be set to 02h indicating completion.

During execution of the Selective self-test, the self-test executions time byte in the Device S.M.A.R.T.

Data Structure may be updated but the accuracy may not be exact because of the nature of the test

span segments. For this reason, the time to complete off-line testing and the self-test polling times

are not valid. Progress through the test spans is indicated in the selective self-test log.

A COMRESET or software reset shall abort the Selective self-test except when the pending bit is set

to one in the Selective self-test log (see 14.39.7 Selective self-test log data structure). The receipt of a

S.M.A.R.T. EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE command with 0Fh, Abort off-line test routine, in

the LBA Low register shall abort Selective self-test regardless of where the device is in the execution

of the command. If a second self-test is issued while a selective self-test is in progress, the selective

self-test is aborted and the newly requested self-test is executed.

14.39.1.6 S.M.A.R.T. Read Log Sector (Subcommand D5h)

This command returns the specified log sector contents to the host.

The 512 bytes data are returned at a command and the Sector Count value shall be set to one. The

LBA Low shall be set to specify the log sector address.

LBA Low shall be set to specify the log sector address (Table 110 Log sector addresses). If Read Only

log sector is specified, the device returns ABRT error.

14.39.1.8 S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations (Subcommand D8h)

This subcommand enables access to all S.M.A.R.T. capabilities within the device. Prior to receipt of a

S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations subcommand, Attribute Values are neither monitored nor saved by

the device. The state of S.M.A.R.T. (either enabled or disabled) will be preserved by the device across

power cycles. Once enabled, the receipt of subsequent S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations subcommands

will not affect any of the Attribute Values.

Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations subcommand from the host, the device enables

S.M.A.R.T. capabilities and functions.

14.39.1.9 S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations (Subcommand D9h)

This subcommand disables all S.M.A.R.T.capabilities within the device including the device’s

attribute autosave feature. After receipt of this subcommand the device disables all S.M.A.R.T.

operations. Non self-preserved Attribute Values will no longer be monitored. The state of

S.M.A.R.T. (either enabled or disabled) is preserved by the device across power cycles. Note that

this subcommand does not preclude the device’s power mode attribute autosaving.

Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand from the host, the device disables

S.M.A.R.T. capabilities and functions.

After receipt of the device of the S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand from the host, all other

S.M.A.R.T. subcommands—with the exception of S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations—are disabled, and

invalid and will be aborted by the device (including the S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand),

returning the error code as specified in “Table 123 S.M.A.R.T. Error Codes” on Page 155.

Any Attribute Values accumulated and saved to volatile memory prior to receipt of the S.M.A.R.T.

Disable Operations command will be preserved in the device’s Attribute Data Sectors. If the device is

re-enabled, these Attribute Values will be updated, as needed, upon receipt of a S.M.A.R.T. Read

Attribute Values or S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values command.

14.39.1.10 S.M.A.R.T. Return Status (Subcommand DAh)

This command is used to communicate the reliability status of the device to the host’s request. Upon

receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Return Status subcommand the device asserts BSY, saves any updated

Attribute Values to the reserved sector and compares the updated Attribute Values to the Attribute

Thresholds.

If the device does not detect a Threshold Exceeded Condition, or detects a Threshold Exceeded

Condition but involving attributes are advisory, the device loads 4Fh into the LBA Mid register, C2h

into the LBA High register.

If the device detects a Threshold Exceeded Condition for prefailure attributes, the device loads F4h

into the LBA Mid register, 2Ch into the LBA High register. Advisory attributes never result in

negative reliability condition.

14.39.1.11 S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Automatic Off-Line

(Subcommand DBh)

This subcommand enables and disables the optional feature that cause the device to perform the set

of off-line data collection activities that automatically collect attribute data in an off-line mode and

then save this data to the device’s non-volatile memory. This subcommand may either cause the

device to automatically initiate or resume performance of its off-line data collection activities or

cause the automatic off-line data collection feature to be disabled. This subcommand also enables

and disables the off-line read scanning feature that cause the device to perform the entire read

scanning with defect reallocation as the part of the off-line data collection activities.

Normalized Values: The device will perform conversion of the raw Attribute Values to transform

them into normalized values, which the host can then compare with the Threshold values. A

Threshold is the excursion limit for a normalized Attribute Value. In normalizing the raw data, the

device will perform any necessary statistical validity checks to ensure that an instantaneous raw

value is not improperly reflected in the normalized Attribute Value (i.e., one read error in the first 10

reads being interpreted as exceeding the read error rate threshold when the subsequent 1 billion

reads all execute without error). The end points for the normalized values for all Attributes will be 1

(01h) at the low end, and 100 (64h) at the high end for the device. For Performance and Error Rate

Attributes, values greater than 100 are also possible, up to a maximum value of 253 (FDh).

Table 124 Standby Command (E2h/96h)

The Standby command causes the device to enter the Standby Mode immediately, and set auto

power down timeout parameter(standby timer).

When this command is issued, the device confirms the completion of the cached write commands.

Then the device is spun down, but the interface remains active.

If the device is already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed.

During the Standby mode the device will respond to commands, but there is a delay while

waiting for the spindle to reach operating speed.

The timer starts counting down when the device returns to Idle mode.

Output Parameters To The Device

Sector Count Timeout Parameter. If zero, the timeout interval(Standby Timer) is disabled. If other

than zero, the timeout interval is set for (Timeout Parameter x5) seconds.

When the automatic power down sequence is enabled,

The device will enter Standby mode automatically if the timeout interval expires with

no device access from the host. The timeout interval will be reinitialized if there is a

device access before the timeout interval expires.

Table 137 Write Uncorrectable Ext Command (45h)

The Write Uncorrectable Ext command is used to cause the device to report an uncorrectable

error when the target sector is subsequently read.

When the feature field contains a value of 5xh, the Write Uncorrectable Ext command causes

the device to indicate a failure when reads to any of the sectors that are contained in specified

sectors. Theses sectors are referred to as “pseudo uncorrectable” sectors. In this case

whenever a pseudo uncorrectable sector is accessed via a read command, the device performs

normal error recovery and then set the UNC and ERR bits to indicate she sector is bad.

When the feature field contains a value of Axh, the Write Uncorrectable Ext command causes

the device to flag the specified sector as “flagged uncorrectable”. Flagging a logical sector as

uncorrectable causes the device to indicate a failure when reads to specified sectors are

performed. These sectors are referred to as “flagged uncorrectable” sectors. In this case

whenever a “flagged uncorrectable” sector is accessed via a read command, the device sets the

UNC and ERR bits without normal error recovery to indicate the sector is bad.

If the Uncorrectable options are set to A5h or 55h, then sectors that have been made pseudo

uncorrectable are listed as failed in the standard error logs when read back. If the

Uncorrectable options are set to 5Ah or AAh, then the reading of pseudo uncorrectable sectors

are not logged as an error in any standardized error logs.

The pseudo uncorrectable or flagged uncorrectable status of a sector remains through a power

cycle.

If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector.

Output Parameters To The Device

Feature Current Uncorrectable options

55h : Create a pseudo uncorrectable error with logging

5Ah: Create a pseudo uncorrectable error without logging
