3.0 Fixed disk subsystem description

3.1 Control Electronics

The drive is electronically controlled by a microprocessor, several logic modules, digital/analog modules, and various drivers and receivers. The control electronics performs the following major functions:

• Controls and interprets all interface signals between the host controller and the drive.

• Controls read write accessing of the disk media, including defect management and error recovery.

• Controls starting, stopping, and monitoring of the spindle.

• Conducts a power-up sequence and calibrates the servo.

• Analyzes servo signals to provide closed loop control. These include position error signal and estimated

velocity.

• Monitors the actuator position and determines the target track for a seek operation.

• Controls the voice coi l motor driver to align the actuator in a desired position.

• Constantly monitors error conditions of the servo and takes corresponding action if an error occurs.

• Monitors various timers such as head settle and servo failure.

• Performs self-checkout (diagnostics).

3.2 Head disk assembly

The head disk assembly (HDA) is assembled in a clean room environment and contains the disks and actuator assembly. Air is constantly circulated and filtered when the drive is operat ional. Venting of the HDA is accomplished via a breather filter.

The spindle is driven directly by an in-hub, brushless, sensorless DC drive motor. Dynamic braking is used to quickly stop the spindle.

3.3 Actuator

The read/write heads are mounted in the actuator. The actuator is a swing-arm assembly driven by a voice coil motor. A closed-loop positioning servo controls the movement of the actuator. An embedded servo pattern supplies feedback to the positioning servo to keep the read/write heads cent ered over the d esired track.

The actuator assembly is balanced to allow vertical or horizontal mounting without adjustment.

When the drive is powered off, the actuator automatically moves the head to the actuator ramp outside of the disk where it parks.

4.4 Drive organization

4.4.1 Drive format

Upon shipment from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies manufacturing the drive satisfies the sector continuity in the physical format by means of the defect flagging strategy described in Section 5.0 on page 14 in order to provide the maximum performance to users.

4.4.2 Cylinder allocation

Physical cyl inder is calculated from the starting data track of 0. It is not relevant to logical CHS. Depending on the capacity some of the inner zone cylinders are not allocated.

Data cylinder This cylinder contains the user data which can be sent and retrieved via read/write commands and a spare area for reassigned data.

Spare cylinder The spare cylinder is used by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies manufacturing and includes data sent from a defect location.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

4.5 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)

All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the performance of the actual system. This specification defines the characteristics of the drive, not the characteristics of the system throughput which depends on the system and the application.

4.5.1 Command overhead

Command overhead is defined as the time required

 from the time the command is written into the command register by a host  to the assertion of DRQ for the first data byte of a READ command when the requested data is no t

in the buffer

 excluding Physic al seek time and Latency

The table below gives average command overhead.

Table 5 Mechanical positioning performance

The terms “Typical” and “Max” are used throughout this specification with the following meanings:

Typical. The average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental and voltage conditions.

Max. The maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and voltage conditions. (See Section 6.4, “Environment” on page 41 and Section 6.5, “DC Power Requirements” on page 43.

Seek time is measured from the start of the motion of the actuator to the start of a reliable read or write operation. "Reliable read or write" implies that error correction/recovery is not used to correct arrival problems. The average seek time is measured as the weighted average of all possible seek combinations.

5.0 Defect flagging strategy

Media defects are remapped to the next available sector during the Format Process in manufacturing. The mapping from LBA to the physical locations is calculated by an internally maintained table.

Shipped format

• Data areas are optimally used.

• No extra sector is wasted as a spare throughout user data areas.

• All pushes generated by defects are absorbed by the spare tracks of the inner zone.

DD0-DD15 16-bit bi-directional data bus between the host and the drive. The lower 8 lines, DD00-07,

are used for Register and ECC access. All 16 lines, DD00-15, are used for data transfer. These are 3-State lines with 24 mA current sink capability.

DA0-DA2 Address used to select the individu al register in the drive. CS0- Chip select signal generated from the Host address bus. When active, one of the Command

Block Registers (Data, Error {Features when written}, Sector Count, Sector Number, Cylinder Low, Cylinder High, Drive/Head and Status {Command when written} register) can be selected. (See Table 26: "I/O address map" on page 34)

CS1- Chip select signal generated from the Host address bus. When active one of the Control

Block Registers (Alternate Status {Device Control when written}) can be selected. (See Table 26: "I/O address map" on page 34)

RESET- This line is used to reset the drive. It shall be kept in Low logic state during power up and in

High thereafter.

DIOW- Its rising edge holds data from the host data bus to a register or data register of the drive. DIOR- When low, this signal enables data from a register or data register of the drive o nto data bus.

The data on the bus shall be latched on the rising edge of DIOR-.

INTRQ Interrupt is enabled only when the drive is selected and the host activates the nIEN bit in the

Device Control Reg. Otherwise, this signal is in high impedance state regardless of the state of the IRQ bit. The interrupt is set when the IRQ bit is set by the drive CPU. IRQ is reset to zero by a host read of the status register or a write to the Command Reg. This signal is a 3-State line with 24 mA sink capability.

DASP- This is a time-multiplexed signal which indicates that a drive is active, or that device 1 is

present. This signal is driven by Open-Drain driver and internally pulled up to 5 volts through a 10kΩ resistor.

During Power-On initialization or after RESET- is negated, DASP- shall be asserted by Device 1 within 400 ms to indicate that device 1 is present. Device 0 shall allow up to 450 ms for device 1 to assert DASP-. If device 1 is not present, device 0 may assert DASP- to drive a LED indica t or.

DASP- shall be negated following acceptance of the first valid command by device 1. At anytime after negation of DASP-, eithe r drive may assert DASP- to in dicate that a drive is active.

PDIAG- PDIAG- shall be asserted by device 1 to indicate to device 0 that it has completed

diagnostics. This line is pulled-up to 5 vo lts in the dri ve through a 10k Ω resistor. Following a Power On Reset, software reset, or RESET-, drive 1 shall negate PDIAG- within

1 ms (to indicate to device 0 that it is busy). Drive 1 shall then assert PDIAG- within 30 seconds to indicate that it is no longer busy and is able to provide stat us.

Following the receipt of a valid Execute Drive Diagnostics command, device 1 shall negate PDIAG- within 1 ms to indicate to device 0 that it is busy and has not yet passed its drive diagnostics. If device 1 is present, device 0 shall wait up to 6 seconds from the receipt of a valid Execute Drive Diagnostics command for drive 1 to assert PDIAG-. Device 1 should clear BSY before asserting PDIAG-, as PDIAG- is used to indicate tha t device 1 has pa ssed its diagnos tics and is ready to post status.

If device 1 did not assert DASP- during reset initialization, device 0 shall post its own status immediatel y after it completes dia gnostics an d clear the device 1 Stat us register to 00h. Device 0 may be unable to accept commands until it has finished its reset procedure and is ready (DRDY=1).

Device 1 shall release PDIAG-/CBLID- no later than after the first command following a power on or hardware reset se q ue nce so th at th e ho st ma y sa mple PDI AG-/CBLID- in order to detect the presence or absence of an 80-conductor cable assembly.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

CSEL (Cable Select) (Optional)

The drive is configured as either Device 0 or 1 depending upon the value of CSEL.

• If CSEL is grounded, the device address is 0.

• If CSEL is open , the device address is 1.

KEY Pin position 20 has no connection pin. It is recommended to close the respective position of

the cable connector in order to avoid incorrect insertion by mistake.

IORDY This signal is negated to extend the host transfer cycle when a drive is not ready to respond

to a data transfer request and may be negated when the host transfer cycle is less than 240 ns for PIO data transfer. This signal is an open-drain output with 24 mA sink capability and an external resistor is needed to pull up this line to 5 volts.

DMACK- This signal shall be used by the host in response to DMARQ to either acknowledge that data

has been accepted or that data is available. This signal is internally pulled up to 3.3 V through a 15 KΩ resistor. The t ole r a n ce of the

resistor value is –50% to +100%.

DMARQ This signal, used for DMA data transfers between host and drive, shall be asserted by the

drive when it is ready to transfer data to or from the host. The direction of data transfer is controlled by DIOR- and DIOW-. This signal is used on a handshake manner with DMACK-. This signal is a 3-state line with 24mA sink capability and internally pulled down to GND through 10 KΩ resistor.

HDMARDY- (Ultra DMA)

This signal is used only for Ultra DMA data transfers between the host and the device. HDMARDY- is a flow control signal for Ultra DMA data in bursts. This signal is held asserted

by the host to indicate to the device that the host is ready to receive Ultra DMA data in transfers. The host may negate HDMARDY- to pause an Ultra DMA data in transfer.

HSTROBE (Ultra DMA)

This signal is used only for Ultra DMA data transfers between the host and the device. HSTROBE is the data out strobe signal from the host for an Ultra DMA data out transfer.

Both the rising and falling edge of HSTROBE latch the data from DD(15:0) into the device. The host may stop toggling HSTROBE to pause an Ultra DMA data out transfer.

STOP (Ultra DMA)

This signal is used only for Ultra DMA data transfers between the host and the device. STOP shall be asserted by the host prior to initiati on of an Ultra DMA burst. STOP shall be

negated by the host before data is transferred in an Ultra DMA burst. Assertion of STOP by the host during or after data transfer in an Ultra DMA mode signals the termination of the burst.

DDMARDY- (Ultra DMA)

This signal is used only for Ultra DMA data transfers between the host and the device. DDMARDY- is a flow control signal for Ultra DMA data out bursts. This signal is held

asserted by the device to indicate to the host that the device is ready to receive Ultra DMA data out transfers. The device may negate DDMARDY- to pause an Ultra DMA data out transfer.

DSTROBE (Ultra DMA)

This signal is used only for Ultra DMA data transfers between the host and the device. DSTROBE is the data in strobe signal from the device for an Ultra DMA data in transfer.

Both the rising and falling edge of DSTROBE latch the data from DD(15:0) into the host. The device may stop toggling DSTROBE to pause an Ultra DMA data in transfer.

Device Termination The termination resistors on the device side are implemented on the drive side as follows:

• 33 Ω for DD0 thru DD15, DMARQ, INTRQ

• 82 Ω for CS0-, CS1-, DA0, DA1, DA2, DIOR-, DIOW-, DMACK-

• 22 Ω for IORDY

5.2.5 Addressing of registers

The host addresses the drive through a set of registers called the Task File. These registers are mapped into the I/ O space of the host. Two chip select lines (CS0– and CS1–) and three address lines (DA0-02) are used to select one of these registers, while a DIOR– or DIOW– is provided at the specified time.

The CS0– is used to address Command Block registers. while the CS1– is used to address Control Block registers.

The following table shows the I/ O address map.

CS0– CS1– DA2 DA1 DA0 DIOR– = 0 (Read) DIOW– = 0 (Write)

0 1 0 0 0 Data Reg. Data Reg. 0 1 0 0 1 Error Reg. Features Reg. 0 1 0 1 0 Sector count Reg. Sector count Reg. 0 1 0 1 1 Sector number Reg. Sector number Reg. 0 1 1 0 0 Cylinder low Reg.

Table 26 I/O address map

Note: "Addr" field is shown as an example. During DMA operation (from writing to the command register until an interrupt) not all registers are

accessible. For example, the host is not supposed to read status register contents before interrupt (the value is invalid).

5.2.6 Cabling

The maximum cable length from the host system to the drive plus circuit pattern length in the host system shall not exceed 18 inches.

For higher data transfer application (>8.3 MB/s) a modification in the system design is recommended to reduce cable noise and cross-talk, such as a shorter cable, bus termination, or a shielded cable.

For systems operating with Ultra DMA mode 3, 4, and 5, 80-conductor ATA cable assembly shall be used.

5.3.3 Jumper pin assignment

There are four jumper settings as shown in the following sections:

• 16 logical head default (normal use)

• 15 logical head default

• 32 GB clip

• Power up in standby

Within each of these four jumper settings the pin assignment selects Device 0, Device 1, Cable Selection, or Device 1 Slave Present as shown in the following figures.

The Device 0 setting automatically recognizes device 1 if it is present.

The Device 1 Slave Present setting is for a slave device that does not comply with the ATA specification. Note: In conventional terminology "Device 0" designates a Master and "Device 1" designates a Slave.

Notes:

1. To enable the CSEL mode (Cable Selection mode) the jumper block must be installed at E-F. In the CSEL mode the drive address is determined by AT interface signal #28 CSEL as follows:



When CSEL is gr ounded or at a low level, the drive address is 0 (Devi ce 0).



When CSEL is open or at a high level, the drive address is 1 (Device 1).

2. In CSEL mode, installing or removing the jumper blocks at A-B or C-D position does not affect any selection of Device or Cable Selection mode.

3. The shipping default position is Cable Select position.

Maximum (mV pp) MHz

Table 33 Power supply generated ripple at drive power connector

During drive start up and seeking 12-volt ripple is generated by the drive (referred to as dynamic loading). If the power of several drives is daisy chained together, the power supply ripple plus the dynamic loading of the other drives must remain within the above regulation tolerance. A common supply with separate power leads to each drive is a more desirable method of power distribution.

To prevent external electrical noise from interfering with the performance of the drive, the drive must be held by four screws in a user system frame which has no electrical level difference at the four screws position a nd has less than ±300 millivolts peak to peak level difference to the ground of the drive power connector.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

5.6 Reliability

5.6.1 Data integrity

No more than one sector is lost at Power loss condition during the write operation when the write cache option is disabled. If the write cache option is active, the data in write cache will be lost. To prevent the loss of customer data, it is recommended that the last write access before power off be issued after setting the write cache off.

5.6.2 Cable noise interference

To avoid any degradation of performance throughput or error rate when the interface cable is routed on top or comes in contact with the HDA assembly, the drive must be grounded el ectrically 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 requireme nt section.

5.6.3 Start/stop cycles

The drive withstands a minimum of 50,000 start/stop cycles in a 40° C environment and a minimum of 10,000 start/stop cycles in extreme temperature or humidity within the operating range. .

5.6.6 Required Power-Off Sequence

The required BIOS 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 350 ms are required for

the command to finish completion; however, the BIOS time out value needs to be 30 seconds

considering error recovery time. Refer to section 11.0 "Timings," on page 266.

Step 3: Terminate power to HDD.

5.7.4 Drive mounting

The drive will operate in all axes (6 directions). Performance and error ra te will stay within specification limits if the drive is operated in the other orientations from which it was formatted.

For reliable operation, the drive must be mounted in the system securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration of the drive during seek operation or spindle rotation, using appropriate screws or equivalent mounting hardware.

The recommended mounting screw torque is 0.6 – 1.0 Nm (6-10 Kgf.cm). The recommended mounting screw depth is 4 mm maximum for bottom and 4.5 mm maximum for horizontal

mounting. Drive level vibration test and shock test are to be conducted with the drive mounted to the table using the

bottom four screws.

5.7.5 Heads unload and actuator lock

Heads are mov ed out from disks (unload) to protect the disk data during shipping, moving, or storage. Upon power down, the heads are automatically unloaded from disk area and the locking mechanism of the head actuator will secure the heads in unload position.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.3 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 HxP7250xxGLA3y0 is different from the actual physical CHS location of the data sector on the disk media. All addressing of data sectors recorded on the device's media.

HxP7250xxGLA3y0 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/HEAD register. So a host system must set the L bit to 1 if the host uses LBA Addressing mode.

8.3.1 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.

8.3.2 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/Head <--- LBA

bits

Cylinder High <--- LBA

bits

Cylinder Low <--- LBA

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.4 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.

HxP7250xxGLA3y0 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

8.4.1 Power ModeT

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.

In 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.

In Idle Mode the device is capable of responding immediately to media access request s. In Active Mode the device is under executing a command or accessing the disk media with read look-ahead

function or writes cache function.

8.4.2 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 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.

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.

8.4.3 Standby timer

The standby timer provides a method for the device to automatically enter standby mode from either active or idle mode foll owi ng a ho st pro gramm ed per iod of inact ivit y. If the devi ce is i n the ac tive o r idle mo de, t he device waits for the specified time period and if no command is received, the device automatically enters the standby mode.

If the value of SECTOR COUNT register on Idle command or Standby command is set to 00h, the standby timer is disabled.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.4.4 Interface Capability for Power Modes

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

Mode

Active Idle

Standby sleep

BSY RDY Interface active Media

x x Yes Active

0 1 Yes Active 0 1 Yes Inactive

x x No Inactive

Table 49 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.

8.5 SMART Function

The intent of Self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology (SMART) 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, SMART 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.

8.5.1 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.

8.5.2 Attribute values

Attribute values are used to represent the relative reliability of individual performance or calibration attributes. The valid range of attribute values is from 1 to 253 decimal. Higher attribute values indicate that the analysis algorithms being used by the device are predicting a lower probability of a degrading or faulty 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 faulty condition existing.

8.5.3 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 values of the attribute thresholds are determined by the device manufacturer through design and reliability testing and analysis. Each attrib ute thresho ld repres ents the l owest limi t to which it s correspon ding att ribute valu e 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.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.5.4 Threshold exceeded condition

If one or more attribute values, whose Pre-failure bit of their status flag is set, are less than or equal to their corresponding attribute thresholds, then the device reliability status is negative, indicating an impending degrading or faulty condition.

8.5.5 SMART commands

The SMART commands provide access to attribute values, attribute thresholds and other logging and reporting information.

8.5.6 Off-line Read Scanning

The device provides the off-line read scanning feature with reallocation. This is the extension of the off-line data collection capability. The device performs the entire read scan with reallocation for the marginal sectors to prevent the user data lost.

If interrupted by the host during the read scanning, the device services the host command.

8.5.7 Error Log

Logging of reported errors is supported. The device provides information on the last five errors that the device reported as described in SMART error log sector. The device may also provide additional vendor specific information on these reported errors. The error log is not disabled when SMART is disabled. Disabling SMART shall disable 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.

8.5.8 Self-test

The device provides the self-test features which are initiated by SMART Execute Off-line Immediate command. The self-test checks the fault of the device, reports the test status in Device Attributes Data and stores the test result in the SMART self-test log sector as described in SMART self-test log data structure. All SMART attributes are updated accordingly during the execution of self-test.

If interrupted by the host during the self-tests, the device services the host command. If the device receives a firmware modification, all self-test log data is discarded.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.6 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.

8.7 Host Protected Area Feature

Host Protected Area Feature 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. The following set of commands is implemented for this function.

Read Native Ma x AD D RESS Set Max ADDRESS

8.7.1 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) : 6,498,680,832 byte (6.4GB) Max LBA (native) : 12,692,735 (0FFFFFh) Required size for protected area : 206,438,400 byte Required blocks for protected area : 403,200 (062700h) Customer usable device size : 6,292,242,432 byte (6.2GB) Customer usable sector count : 12,289,536 (BB8600h) LBA range for protected area : BB8600h to C1ACFFh

1. Shipping HDDs from HDD manufacturer

When the HDDs are shipped from HDD manufacturer, the device has been tested to have usable capacity of 6.4GB besides flagged media defects not to be visible by system.

2. 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 maximum LBA. Returned value

shows that native device Maximum LBA is 12,692,735 (C1ACFFh) regardless of the current setting.

Make en tire d evice be acces sible i ncludin g the prot ect ed area by setti ng devic e Maximu m LBA as

12,692,735 (C1ACFFh) via Set Max Address command. The option could be either nonvolatile or

volatile.

Test the sectors for protected area (LBA >= 12,289,536 (BB8600h)) if required.

('F8'h) ('F9'h)

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

Write information data such as BIOS code within the protected area. Change maximum LBA using Set Max Address command to 12,289,535 (BB85FFh) with

nonvolatile option.

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

issued. Any BIOSes, device drivers, or application software access the HDD as if that is the 6.2GB device because the device acts exactly the same as real 6.2GB device does.

3. Conventional usage without system software support Since the HDD works as 6.2GB device, there is no special care to use this device for normal use.

4. 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 maximum LBA. Returned value

shows that native device Maximum LBA is 12,692,735 (C1ACFFh) regardless of the current setting.

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

12,692,735 (C1ACFFh) 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 hard reset or POR to inhibit any access to the protected area.

8.7.2 Security extensions

1. Set Max Set Password

2. Set Max Lock

3. Set Max Freeze Lock

4. Set Max Unlock.

The Set Max Set Password command allows the host to define the password to be used during the current power on cycle. The password does not persist over a power cycle but does persist over a hardware or software reset. 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. The Set Max Lock command allows the host to disable the Set Max commands (except set Max Unlock) 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. 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 IDENTIFY DEVICE response word 83, bit 8 indicates that this extension is supported if set, and word 86, bit 8 indicate the Set Max security extension enabled if set.

8.8 Seek Overlap

HxP7250xxG LA3y0 pr ovide ac curate s eek time measurem ent met hod. The s eek comm and is usual ly use d 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, HxP7250xxGLA3y0 overlaps the seek command as described below.

The first seek command completes before the actual seek operation is end. 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 executions of two seek commands overlaps excluding the actual seek operation.

With this overlap, total elapsed time for a number of seek commands results the total accumulated time for actual seek operation plus one pre and post overhead. When the number of seeks is large, this just one overhead can be ignored.

8.9 Write Cache Function

Write cache is a performance enhancement whereby the device reports as completing the write command (Write Sector(s), Write Multiple and Write D MA) to the h ost as soon as the d evice has r eceived a ll of th e data into its buffer. And 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 hard reset does

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

 Soft reset, Standby (Immediate) command and Flush Cache commands during writing the cached data

are execute d afte r the c omplet io n of wr iting t o medi a. So the host syst em can c onfir m th e compl etio n of write cache operation by issuing Soft reset, Standby (Immediate) command or Flush Cache command to the device before power off.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.10 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.

This reassig nm ent i nfor mat ion is re gis te red i nt ern ally , an d th e in for mat ion i s av ai labl e ri ght aft er c ompl eti ng the reassign function. Also the information is used on the next power on reset or hard reset.

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

8.10.1 Auto Rea ssign Function

The sectors those 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 is failed.

If the write cache function is ENABLED, and when the number of available spare sectors reaches 0 sectors, both auto reassign function and write cache function are disabled automatically .

Non recovered read errors When a read operation is failed 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.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.11 Power-up in Standby feature set

Power-Up In Standby feature set allows devices to be powered-up into the Standby power management state to minimize inrush current at power-up and to allow the host to sequence the spin-up of devices.

This feature set will be enabled/disabled via the SET FEATURES command or use of jumper. When enabled by a jumper, the feature set shall not be disabled via the SET FEATURES command. The enabling of this feature set shall be persistent after power cycle.

A device needs a SET FEATURES subcommand to spin-up to active state when the device has powered-up into Standby. The device remains in Standby until the SET FEATURES subcommand is received.

If power-up into Standby is enabled, when an IDENTIFY DEVICE is received while the device is in Standby as a result of powering up into Standby, the device shall set word 0 bit 2 to one to indicate that the response is incomplete, then only words 0 and 2 are correctly reported.

The IDENTIFY DEVICE information indicates the states as follows:

 identify device information is complete or incomplete  this feature set is implemented  this feature set is enabled or disabled  the device needs the Set Features command to spi n-up into active state

8.12 Advanced Power Management feature set (APM)

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:

1. A SET FEATURES subcommand to enable Advanced Power Management

2. A SET FEATURES subcommand to disable Advanced Power Management

Advanced Power Management is independent of the Standby timer setting. If both Advanced Power Management 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 the Standby state should be entered.

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.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.13 Automatic Acoustic Management feature set (AAM)

This feature set allows the host to select an acoustic management level. The acoustic management level ranges the setting of 80h to FEh. Device performance and acoustic emanation may increase with increasing acoustic management levels. The acoustic management levels contain discrete bands, described in the section of the Set Feature command in detail.

The Automatic Acoustic Management feature set uses the following functions:

1. A SET FEATURES subcommand to enable Automatic Acoustic Management

2. A SET FEATURES subcommand to disable Automatic Acoustic Management

The IDENTIFY DEVICE response word 83, bit 9 indicates that Automatic Acoustic Management feature is supported if set. Word 86, bit 9 indicates that Automatic Acoustic Management is enabled if set. Word 94, bits 7-0 contain the current Automatic Acoustic Management level if Automatic Acoustic Management is enabled, and bits 8-15 contain the Vendor's recommended AAM level.

8.14 Address Offset Feature

Computer systems perform initial code loading (booting) by reading from a predefined address on a disk drive. To allow an alternate bootable operating system to exist in a system reserved area on a disk drive this feature provides a Set Features function to temporarily offset the drive address space. The offset address space wraps around so that the entire disk drive address space remains addressable in offset mode. Max LBA in offset mode is set to the end of the system reserved area to protect the data in the user area when operating in offset mode. The Max LBA can be changed by an Set Max Address command, but any commands which access sectors across the original native maximum LBA are rejected with error, even if this protection is removed by an Set Max Address command.

Set Features subcommand code 09h Enable Address Offset Mode offsets address Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 1, and LBA 0, to the start of the non-volatile protected area established using the Set Max Address command. The offset condition is cleared by Subcommand 89h Disable Address Offset Mode, Hardware reset or Power on Reset. If Reverting to Power on Defaults has been enabled by Set Features command, it is cleared by Soft reset as well. Upon entering offset mode the capacity of the drive returned in the Identify Device data is the size of the former protected area. A subsequent Set Max Address command with the address returned by Read Max Address command allows access to the entire drive. Addresses wrap so the entire drive remains addressable.

If a non-volatile protected area has not been established before the device receives a Set Features Enable Address Offset Mode command, the command fails with Abort error status.

Disable Address Offset Feature removes the address offset and sets the size of the drive reported by the Identify Device command back to the size specified in the last non-volatile Set Max Address command.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.14.1 Enable/Disable Address Offset Mode

If a non-volatile protected area has not been established before the device receives a Set Features Enable Address Offset Mode command, the command fails with Abort error status.

Any commands which access sectors across the original native maximum LBA are rejected with error, even if the access protection is removed by a Set Max Address command. If the sectors for Read Look Ahead operation include the original native maximum LBA, Read Look Ahead operation is not carried out even if it is enabled by Set Feature command.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.15 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 allowabl e sector count to 16 bits .

Commands unique to the 48-bit Address feature set are:

 Flush Cache Ext  Read DMA Ext  Read FPDMA Queued  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 DMA FUA Ext  Write FPDMA Queued  Write Multiple Ext  Write Multiple FUA Ext  Write Sector(s) Ext  Write Uncorrect able 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.

In a device, the Features, the Sector Count, the Sector Number, the Cylinder High, and the Cylinder Low registers are a two-byte-deep FIFO. Each time one of these registers is written, the new content written is placed into the "most recently written" location and the previous content is moved to "previous content" location.

The host may read the "previous content" of the Features, the Sector Count, the Sector Number, the Cylinder High, and the Cylinder Low registers by first setting the High Order Bit (HOB, bit 7) of the Device control register to one and then reading the desired register. If HOB in the Device Control register is c l eared to zero, the host reads the "most recently written" content when the register is read. A write to any Command Block register shall cause the device to clear the HOB bit to zero in the Device Control register. The "most recently wri tten " c onte nt al way s ge ts wri tt en by a regi st er wri te r eg ardl es s of t he st at e of H OB in the De vic e Control register.

Support of the 48- bit Address feature set is indicated in the Id entify 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.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.16 Streaming feature Set

The Streaming feature set is an optional feature set that allows a host to request delivery of data from a contiguous logical block address range within an allotted time. This places a priority on time to access the data rather than the integrity of the data. Streaming feature set commands only support 48-bit addres sing.

A device that implements the Streaming feature set shall implement the following minimum set of commands:

 Configure Stream  Read Stream PIO  Write Stream PIO  Read Stream DMA  Write Stream DMA  Read Log Ext

Support of the Streaming feature set is indicated in Identify Device work 84 bit 4. Note that PIO versions of these commands limit the transfer rate (16.6 MB/s), provide no CRC protection,

and limit status reporting as compared to a DMA implementation.

8.16.1 Streaming commands

The streaming commands are defined to be time critical data transfers rather than the standard data integrity critical commands. Each command shall be completed within the time specified in the Configure Stream command or in the streaming command itself in order to ensure the stream requirements of the AV type application. The device may execute background tasks as long as the Read Stream and Write Stream command execution time limits are still met.

Using the Configure Stream command, the host may define the various stream properties including the default Command Completion Time Limit (CCTL) to assist the device in setting up its caching for best performance. If the host does not use a Configure Stream command, the device shall use the CCTL specified in each streaming command, and the time limit is effective for one time only. If the CCTL is not set by Configure Stream command, the operation of a streaming command with a zero CCTL is device vendor specific. If Stream ID is not set by a Configure Stream command, the device shall operate according to the Stream ID set by the streaming command. The operation is device vendor specific.

The streaming commands may access any user LBA on a device. These commands may be intersp ersed with non-streaming commands, but there may be an impact on performance due to the unknown time required to complete the non-streaming commands.

The streaming commands should be issued using a specified minimum number of sectors transferred per command, as specified in word 95 of the Identify Device response. The transfer length of a request shoul d be a multiple of the minimum number of sectors per transfer.

The host provided numeric stream identifier, Stream ID, may be used by the device to configure its resources to support the streaming requirements of the AV content. One Stream ID may be configured for each read and write operation with different command completion time limits be each Configure Stream command.

8.16.1.1 Urgent bit

The Urgent bit in the Read Stream and Write Stream commands specifies that the command should be completed in the minimum possible time by the device and shall be completed within the specified Command Completion Time Limit.

8.16.1.2 Flush to Disk bitT

The Flush to Disk bit in the Write Stream command specifies that all data for the specified stream shall be flushed to the media before posting command completion. If a host requests flushes at times other than the end of each Allocation Unit, streaming performance may be degraded. The Set Features command to enable/disable caching shall not affect caching for streaming commands.

8.16.1.3 Not Sequential bit

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

The Not Sequential bit specifies that the next read stream command with the same Stream ID may not be sequential in LBA space. This information helps the device with pre-fetching decisions.

8.16.1.4 Read Continuous bit

If the Read Co ntin uo us bi t i s s et t o one f or t he c omm an d, t he d evi ce s hal l t rans fer th e req ue st ed am ount of data to the host within the Command Completion Time Limit even if an error occurs. The data sent to the host by the dev ice in an error condition is vendor specific.

8.16.1.5 Write Continuous bit

If the Write Continuous bit is set to one for the command, and an error is encountered, the device shall complete the request without posting an error. If an error cannot be resolved within the Command Completion Time Limit, the erroneous section on the media may be unchanged or may contain undefined data. A future read of this area may not report an error, even though the data is erroneous.

8.16.1.6 Handle Streaming Error bit

The Handle Streaming Error bit specifies to the device that this command starts at the LBA of a recently reported error section, so the device may attempt to continue its corresponding error recovery sequence where it left off earlier. This mechanism allows the host to schedule error recovery and defect management for content critical data.

8.16.2 Streaming Logs

The Streaming Data Transfer feature set requires two error logs and one performance log. These logs are accessed via the Read Log Ext command; the information included in the error logs is volatile and is not maintained across power cycles, hard resets, or sleep. These error logs are 512 bytes in length and retain the last 31 errors that occurred during any Streaming Data transfer.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.17 SATA BIST (Built-in Self Test)

The device supports the following BIST modes, and begins operations when it receives BIST Activate FIS.

F – Far End Analog Loopback. L – Far End Retimed Loopback T – Far End Transmit only A – ALIGN Bypass (valid only in combination with T bit) S – Bypass Scrambling (valid only in combination with T bit)

8.18 SATA Interface Power Management

The device supports both receiving host-initiated interface power management requests and initiating interface power management. The device initiates interface power management when the device enters its power saving mode whose power consumption is lower than Normal Idle mode.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.19 Software Setting Preservation

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 a n 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. If a device supports software settings preservation, the feature shall be enabled by default.

8.19.1 COMRESET Preservation Requirements

The software settings that shall be preserved across COMRESET are listed below. The device is only required to preserve the indicated software setting if it supports the particular feature/command the setting is associated wi t h .

UINITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS:U Device settings established with the INITIALIZE DEVICE

P ARAMETERS command.

UPower Management Feature Set Sta ndby T imer:U The Standby timer used in the Power Management

feature set.

URead/Write Stream Error Log:U The Read Stream Error Log and Write Stream Error Logs (accessed

using READ LOG EXT and WRITE LOG EXT).

USecurity mode state:U The security mode state established by Security Mode feature set commands

(refer to section 6.13 of the ATA/6 specification). The device shall not transition to a different security mode state based on a COMRESET. For example, the device shall not transition from the SEC5: Unlocked / not Frozen state to state SEC4: Security enabled / Locked when a COMRESET occurs, instead the device shall remain in the SEC5: Unlocked / not Frozen state.

USECURITY FREEZE LOCK:U The Frozen mode setting established by the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK

command.

USECURITY UNLOCK:U The unlock counter that is decremented as part of a failed SECURITY UNLOCK

command attempt.

USET ADDRESS MAX (EXT):U The maximum LBA specified in SET ADDRESS MAX or SET ADDRESS

MAX EXT.

USET FEATURES (Write Cache Ena ble/ D isable):U The write cache enable/disable setting established by

the SET FEATURES command with subcommand code of 02h or 82h.

USET FEATURES (Set Transfer Mode):U PIO, Multiword, and UDMA transfer mode settings established

by the SET FEATURES command with subcommand code of 03h.

USET FEATURES (Advanced Power Management Enable/Disable):U The advanced power

management enable/disable setting established by the SET FEATURES command with subcommand code of 05h or 85h. The advanced power management level established in the Sector Count register when advanced power management is enabled (SET FEATURES subcommand code 05h) shall also be preserved.

USET FEATURES (Read Look-Ahead):U The read look-ahead enable/disable setting established by the

SET FEATURES command with subcommand code of 55h or AAh.

USET FEATURES (Reverting to Defaults):U The reverting to power-on defaults enable/disable setting

USET MULTIPLE MODE:U The block size established with the SET MULTIPLE MODE command.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

8.20 SATA II Optional Features

There are several optional features defined in SATA II. The following shows whether these features are supported or not.

8.20.1 Asynchronous Signal Recovery

The device supports asynchronous signal recovery defined in SATA II.

8.20.2 Device Power Connect or Pin 11 Definition

SATA II specification defines that Pin 11 of the power segment of the device connector may be used to provide the host with an activity indication and disabling of staggered spin-up. The device does not support both usage of Pin 11.

8.20.3 Phy Event Counters

Phy Event Counters are an optional feature to obtain more information about Phy level events that occur on the interfa ce. This inf ormat ion m ay ai d d esig ners and i nteg rat ors in tes ti ng and e valu atin g th e qual ity of t he interface. A device indicates whether it supports the Phy event count ers feature in IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE Word 76, bit 10. The host determines the current values of Phy event counters by issuing the READ LOG EXT command with a log page of 11h. The counter values shall not be retained across power cycles. The counter values shall be preserved across COMRESET and software resets.

The counters defined can be grouped into three basic categories: those that count events that occur during Data FIS transfers, those that count events that occur during non-Data FIS transfers, and events that are unrelated to FIS transfers. Counters related to events that occur during FIS transfers may count events related to host-to-device FIS transfers, device-to-host FIS transfers, or bi-directional FIS transfers. A counter that records bi-directional events is not required to be the sum of the counters that record the same events that occur on device-to-host FIS transfers and host-to-device FIS transfers.

Implementations that support Phy event counters shall implement all mandatory counters, and may support any of the optional counters as shown in 0. Note that some counters may increment differently based on the speed at which non-Data FIS retries are performed by the host and device. Implementations may record CRC and non-CRC error events differently. For example, there is a strong likelihood that a disparity error may cause a CRC error. Thus, the disparity error may cause both the event counter that records non-CRC events and the event counter that records CRC events to be incremented for the same event. Another example implementation difference is how a missing EOF event is recorded; a missing EOF primitive may imply a bad CRC even though the CRC on the FIS may be correct. These examples illustrate that some Phy event counters are sensitive to the implementation of the counters themselves, and thus these implementation sensitive counters cannot be used as an absolute measure of interface quality between different implementations.

8.20.3.1 Counter Reset Mechanisms

There are two mechanisms by which the hos t can explicitly cause the Phy counters to be reset.

The first mechanism is to issue a BIST Activate FIS to the device. Upon reception of a BIST Activate FIS the device shall reset all Phy event counters to their reset value. The second mechanism uses the READ LOG EXT command. When the device receives a READ LOG EXT command for log page 11h and bit 0 in the Features register is set to one, the device shall return the current counter values for the command and then reset all Phy event counter values.

8.20.3.2 Counter Identifiers

Each counter begins with a 16-bit identifier. 0 defines the counter value for each identifier. Any unused counter slots in the log page should have a counter identifier value of 0h. Optional counters that are not implemented shall not be returned in log pag e 11h. A value of ‘0’ returned for a counter means that there have been no instances of that particular event. There is no required ordering for event counters within the log page; the order is arbitrary and selected by the device vendor.

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

For all counter descriptions, ‘transmitted’ refers to items sent by the device to the host and ‘received’ refers to items received by the device from the host.

Bits 14:12 of the counter identifier convey the number of significant bits that counter uses. All counter values consume a multiple of 16-bits. The valid values for bits 14:12 and the corresponding counter sizes are:

1h 16-bit counter 2h 32-bit counter 3h 48-bit counter 4h 64-bit counter

Any counter t hat has an identif ier with bit 15 se t to one is vendor spec ific. This creat es a vendor specif ic range of counter identifiers from 8000h to FFFFh. Vendor specific counters shall observe the number of significant bits 14:12 as defined above.

Table 52 Phy Event Counter Identifiers

8.20.3.2.1 Counter Definitions

The counter definitions in this section specify the events that a particular counter identifier

represents.

8.20.3.2.1.1 Identifier 000h

There is no counter associated with identifier 000h. A counter identifier of 000h indicates that there are no additional counters in the log page.

8.20.3.2.1.2 Identifier 001h

The counter with identifier 001h returns the number of commands that returned an ending status with the ERR bit set to one in the Status register and the ICRC bit set to one in the Error register.

8.20.3.2.1.3 Identifier 009h

The counter with identifier 009h returns the number of times the device transitioned into the PHYRDY state from the PHYNRDY state, including but not limited to asynchronous signal events, power management events, and COMRESET events. If interface power management is enabled,

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

then this counter may be incremented due to interface power management transitions.

8.20.3.2.1.4 Identifier 00Ah

The counter with identifier 00Ah returns the number of transmitted Device-to-Host Register FISes with the device reset signature in response to a COMRESET, which were successfully followed by

an R_OK from the host.

8.20.3.2.1.5 Identifier 00Bh

The counter with identifier 00Bh returns the number of received Host-to-Device FISes of all types

(Data and non-Data) to which the device responded with R_ERRP due to CRC error.

8.20.3.2.1.6 Identifier 00Dh

The counter with identifier 00Dh returns the number of received Host-to-Device FISes of all types (Data and non-Data) to which the devices responded with R_ERR

P for reasons other than CRC

error.

8.20.3.3 READ LOG EXT Log Page 11h

READ LOG EXT log page 11 h is one page (512 by tes) in length . The first Dwor d of the log page c ontains information that applies to the rest of the log page. Software should continue to process counters until a counter identifier with value 0h is found or the entire page has been read. A counter identifier with value 0h indicates that the log page contains no more counter values past that point. Log page 11h is defined in 0.

Counter n Identifier

Counter n V alue

Reserved

Counter n Identifier

Phy event counter identifier that corresponds to Counter n Value. Specifies the particular event counter that is being reported. The Identifier is 16 bits in length. Valid identifiers are listed in 0.

Counter n Value

Value of the Phy event counter that corresponds to Counter n Identifier . The number of significant b its is determined by Counter n Identifier bits 14:12 (as defined in section 4.3.2). The length of Counter n Value shall always be a multiple of 16-bits. All counters are one-extended. For example, if a counter is only physically implemented as 8-bits when it reaches the ma ximum value of 0xFF, it shall be one-extended to 0xFFFF. The counter shall stop (and not wrap to zero) after reaching its maximum value.

Counter n Length

HITACHI Deskstar & CinemaStar P7K500 Hard Disk Drive specification (Rev 1.1)

Size of the Phy event counter as defined by bits 14:12 of Counter n Identifier. The size of the Phy event counter shall be a multiple of 16-bits.

Data Structure Checksum

The data structure checksum is the 2’s complement of the sum of the first 511 bytes in the data structure. Each byte shall be added with unsigned arithmetic and overflow shall be ignored. The sum of all 512 bytes of the data structure will be zero when the checksum is correct.

Reserved All reserved fields shall be cleared to zero

8.21 SCT Command Transport feature Set

8.21.1 Overview

8.21.1.1 Introduction

SMART Command Transport (SCT) is the method for the drive to receive commands using log page E0h and transporting data using log page E1h. These log pages are used as follows:

Log page E0h Log Page E1h Write log page Issue Command Send Data to the drive Read log page Return Status Received Data from the drive

Table 54 SCT Log Page and direction

There are two ways to access the log pages: using SMART READ/WRITE LOG and READ/WRITE LOG EXT. Both sets of commands access the same log pages and provide the same capabilities.

The log directory for log pages E0h and E1h should report a length of one. The length of log page E1h does not indicat e the length of an SCT data transfer.

If SMART is supported, but not enabled, the drive supports SMART READ/WRITE LOG for Log page E0h and E1h.

If security is enabled and password has not been issued to unlock the device, all SCT commands will fail.

8.21.1.2 Capability definition

Capability Identification is performed by issuing Identify Device command. Word 206 of Identify Data is used to determine if SCT is enabled and which SCT Action Codes are supported.

8.21.1.3 SCT Command Nesting and intermingling with Standard commands

In general, standard ATA commands can be intermingled with SCT Commands but SCT commands cannot be nested. SCT commands that do not require a follow-on data transfer operation never have an issue with being intermixed with any ATA commands or each other. SCT commands that do require data transfer, on the other hand, may not be nested; that is, if a key command that requires a data transfer is issued, all data transfer - to or from the host - must complete before another SCT command is issued. In most cases, however, ATA read/write commands may be inserted in between SCT data transfers, that is, between
