media is removed or changed.
V = the contents of the word is variable and may change depending on the state of the device or the commands executed
by the device.
X = the content of the word may be fixed or variable.
IDLE (E3h)
This command causes the device to set BSY, enter the Idle mode, clear BSY and generate an interrupt. If sector count is
non-zero, the automatic power down mode is enabled. If the sector count is zero, the automatic power mode is disabled.
IDLE IMMEDIATE (E1h)
This command causes the device to set BSY, enter the Idle(Read) mode, clear BSY and generate an interrupt.
INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS (91h)
This command enables the host to set the number of sectors per track and the number of tracks per heads.
READ BUFFER (E4h)
The READ BUFFER command enables the host to read a 512-byte block of data.
READ DMA (C8h)
Read data from sectors during Ultra DMA and Multiword DMA transfer. Use the SET FEATURES command to specify the
mode value. A sector count of zero requests 256 sectors.
READ DMA EXT (25h)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. Read data from sectors during Ultra DMA and Multiword DMA transfer. Use the
SET FEATURES command to specify the mode value. A sector count of zero requests 65536 sectors.
READ FPDMA QUEUED (60h)
NCQ feature set mandatory 48-bit command. This command requests that data to be transferred from the device to the
host.

RECALIBRATE (10h)
The current drive performs no processing if it receives this command. It is supported for backward compatibility with
previous devices.
SECURITY DISABLE PASSWORD (F6h)
Disables any previously set user password and cancels the lock. The host transfers 512 bytes of data, as shown in the
following table, to the drive. The transferred data contains a user or master password, which the drive compares with the
saved password. If they match, the drive cancels the lock. The master password is still saved. It is re-enabled by issuing
the SECURITY SET PASSWORD command to re-set a user password.
SECURITY ERASE PREPARE (F3h)
This command shall be issued immediately before the Security Erase Unit command to enable erasing and unlocking.
This command prevents accidental loss of data on the drive.
SECURITY ERASE UNIT (F4h)
The host uses this command to transfer 512 bytes of data, as shown in the following table, to the drive. The transferred
data contains a user or master password, which the drive compares with the saved password. If they match, the drive
deletes user data, disables the user password, and cancels the lock. The master password is still saved. It is re-enabled
by issuing the SECURITY SET PASSWORD command to re-set a user password.
SECURITY FREEZE LOCK (F5h)
Causes the drive to enter Frozen mode. Once this command has been executed, the following commands to update a lock
result in the Aborted Command error:
• SECURITY SET PASSWORD
• SECURITY UNLOCK
• SECURITY DISABLE PASSWORD
• SECURITY ERASE PREPARE
• SECURITY ERASE UNIT
The drive exits from Frozen mode upon a power-off or hard reset. If the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK command is issued
when the drive is placed in Frozen mode, the drive executes the command, staying in Frozen mode.

SMART ENABL OPERATIONS
Enables the SMART function. This setting is maintained when the power is turned off and then back on. Once the SMART
function is enabled, subsequent SMART ENABLE OPERATIONS commands do not affect any parameters.
SMART DISABLE OPERATIONS
Disables the SMART function. Upon receiving the command, the drive disables all SMART operations. This setting is
maintained when the power is turned off and then back on.
Once this command has been received, all SMART commands other than SMART ENABLE OPERATIONS are aborted
with the Aborted Command error.
This command disables all SMART capabilities including any and all timer and event count functions related exclusively to
this feature. After command acceptance, this controller will disable all SMART operations. SMART data in no longer be
monitored or saved. The state of SMART is preserved across power cycles.
SMART RETURN STATUS
Reports the drive reliability status.
Values reported when a predicted defect has not been detected:
Cylinder Low register: 4Fh
Cylinder High register: C2h
Values reported when a predicted defect has been detected:
Cylinder Low register: F4h
Cylinder High register: 2Ch
SMART ENABLE/DISABLE AUTOMATIC OFF-LINE
Enables (when Sector Count register = “F8h”) or disables (Sector Count register = “00h”) the automatic off-line data
collection function. The automatic collection is disabled if a value of “00h” is set in the Sector Count register before a
subcommand is issued. If automatic collection is disabled, the drive can still save attribute information during normal
operation, such as during the power-on/off sequence or error correction sequence. The automatic collection function is
enabled if a value of “F8h” is set in the Sector Count register before the command is issued. Values other than “00h” and
“F8h” are vendor-specific.

STANDBY (E2h)
This command causes the device to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode (which corresponds to the ATA “Standby” Mode),
clear BSY and return the interrupt immediately.
STANDBY IMMEDIATE (E0h)
This command causes the drive to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode (which corresponds to the ATA “Standby” Mode), clear
BSY and return the interrupt immediately.
WRITE BUFFER (E8h)
This command enables the host to write the contents of one 512-byte block of data to the device’s buffer.
WRITE DMA (CAh)
Write data to sectors during Ultra DMA and Multiword DMA transfer. Use the SET FEATURES command to specify the
mode value.
WRITE DMA EXT (35h)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. Write data to sectors during Ultra DMA and Multiword DMA transfer. Use the SET
FEATURES command to specify the mode value.
WRITE DMA FUA EXT (3Dh)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. This command provides the same function as the WRITE DMA EXT command
except that regardless of whether volatile and/or non-volatile write caching in the device is enabled or not, the user data
shall be written to non-volatile media before command completion is reported.
WRITE FPDMA QUEUED (61h)
NCQ feature set mandatory 48-bit command. This command causes data to be transferred from the host to the device.
WRITE MULTIPLE (C5h)
This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. Interrupts are not presented on each sector, but on the transfer of
a block which contains the number of sectors defined by Set Multiple command.

WRITE MULTIPLE EXT (39h)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. Interrupts are not
presented on each sector, but on the transfer of a block which contains the number of sectors defined by Set Multiple
command.
WRITE MULTIPLE FUA EXT (CEh)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. This command provides the same functionality as the WRITE MULTIPLE EXT
command except that regardless of whether volatile and/or non-volatile write caching in the device is enabled or not, the
user data shall be written to non-volatile media before command completion is reported.
WRITE SECTOR(S) (30h/31h)
Write data to a specified number of sectors (1 to 256, as specified with the Sector Count register) from the specified
address. Specify “00h” to write 256 sectors.
WRITE SECTOR(S) EXT (34h)
48-bit feature set mandatory command. Write data to a specified number of sectors (1 to 65536, as specified with the
Sector Count register) from the specified address. Specify “00h” to write 65536 sectors.
