(44)SET MAX ADDRESS EXT (X’37’): Option (customizing)

Description

This command limits specifications so that the highest address that can be accessed by users can be specified only in LBA mode.

The address information specified with this command is set in words 1, 54, 57, 58, 60, 61, and 100 to 103 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command response. If read or write processing is executed for an address that is outside of the new address space, an ID Not Found error occurs.

If the SC register bit is 0 and the value volatile (VV) bit is 1 when this command is executed, the specified values are maintained after a power-on reset. If the VV bit is 0 when the command is executed, the specified values are invalidated during the power-on sequence. If the VV bit is 1, the highest address value is defined as the last value specified. (If the VV bit is not set to 1, the highest address is the default value.)

After a power-on reset is performed, a host can issue the SET MAX ADDRESS (EXT) command only once if the VV bit is 1. If the SET MAX ADDRESS (EXT) command is issued twice or more, an ID Not Found error occurs.

When the SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed, all SET MAX ADDRESS commands are aborted. The address value returns to the origin when the SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed using the address value returned by the READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS command.

Error reporting conditions

This command is issued twice or more in an operation sequence. (ST = 51h, ER = 10h, ID Not Found)

The READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS EXT command (27h) is not issued immediately before this command (ST = 51h, ER = 04h, Aborted) is issued.

This command is issued while LBA = 0 (ST = 51h, ER = 04h, Aborted)

The SET MAX ADDRESS command has already been issued.

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
