Interface

Device/Head, Cylinder High, Cylinder Low, Sector Number registers indicate LBA bits 27 to 24, bits 23 to 16, bits 15 to 8, and bits 7 to 0, respectively.

If the LBA mode is specified with 48-bit address information, the Cylinder High, Cylinder Low, Sector Number registers are set twice. In the first time, the registers indicate LBA bits 47 to 40, bits 39 to 32, and bits 31 to 24, respectively. In the second time, the registers indicate LBA bits 23 to 16, bits 15 to 8, and bits 7 to 0, respectively.

5.2.2 Command block registers

(1) Data register (X’1F0’)

The Data register is a 16-bit register for data block transfer between the device and the host system. Data transfer mode is PIO or DMA mode.

(2) Error register (X’1F1’)

The Error register indicates the status of the command executed by the device. The contents of this register are valid when the ERR bit of the Status register is 1.

This register contains a diagnostic code after power is turned on, a reset, or the EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command is executed.

[Status at the completion of command execution other than diagnostic command]

-Bit 7: Interface CRC Error (ICRC). This bit indicates that a CRC error occurred during Ultra DMA transfer.

-Bit 6: Uncorrectable Data Error (UNC). This bit indicates that an uncorrectable data error has been encountered.

-Bit 5: Unused

-Bit 4: ID Not Found (IDNF). This bit indicates an error except for bad sector, uncorrectable error and SB not found.

-Bit 3: Unused

-Bit 2: Aborted Command (ABRT). This bit indicates that the requested command was aborted due to a device status error (e.g. Not Ready, Write Fault) or the command code was invalid.

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.
