7K500 OEM SPECIFICATION 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.
PAGE 23
7K500 OEM SPECIFICATION 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 non-recoverable errors. 5.

7K500 OEM SPECIFICATION 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.

7K500 OEM SPECIFICATION Load/unload 6.3.6 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.
PAGE 31
7K500 OEM SPECIFICATION 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 non-typical mechanical stress.

7K500 OEM Specification 12 General Operation Descriptions 12.1 Reset Response There are three types of reset in ATA as follows: The device executes a series of electrical circuitry diagnostics, spins up the HDA, tests speed and other mechanical parametric, and sets default values. COMRESET is issued in Serial ATA bus. COMRESET The device resets the interface circuitry as well as Soft Reset. SRST bit in the Device Control Register is set, then is reset.

PAGE 54
7K500 OEM Specification HTS7250XXA9A3XX 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.

PAGE 56
7K500 OEM Specification 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.

7K500 OEM Specification 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.

7K500 OEM Specification Figure 7 Password Lost .3 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.

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.

7K500 OEM Specification 12.11 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.

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.

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.

7K500 OEM Specification OffOff-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.

7K500 OEM Specification 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.

7K500 OEM Specification .12 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.

A value of F8h written by the host into the device’s Sector Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause the automatic Off-line data collection feature to be enabled. A value of F9 written by the host into the device’s Sector Count register before issuing this subcommand shall cause the off-line read scanning feature to be enabled.

7K500 OEM Specification 14.40.3 Device Attribute Thresholds Data Structure The following defines the 512 bytes that make up the Attribute Threshold information. This data structure is accessed by the host in its entirety using the S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds. All multi-byte fields shown in these data structures follow the ATA/ATAPI-6 specification for byte ordering, namely that the least significant byte occupies the lowest numbered byte address location in the field.
