In LBA mode the sectors on the device are assumed to be linearly mapped with an initial definition of: LBA

0 = (Cylinder 0, head 0, and sector 1). Irrespective of translate mode geometry set by the host, the LBA address of a given sector does not change:

6.3.2I/O Register - Address

The communication to or from drive is through the SATA interface. To the host system the SATA drive emulates a parallel ATA drive. As such, the following registers are not accessed directly host to drive. The registers are set through the Serial Interface.

The Control Block registers are used for drive control and to post-alternate status. I/O port function and its selection address are tabulated.
