Identify Device command, 3FFFH | Seagate ST480HM000, ST120HM001

4.3.1Identify Device command

The Identify Device command (command code ECH) transfers information about the drive to the host following power up. The data is organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in Table 8 on page 22. All reserved bits or words should be set to zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive. see Section 2.0 on page 3 for default parameter settings.

The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.
