-Bit 7: High Order Byte (HOB) is the selector bit that selects higher-order information or lower-order information of the EXT system command.

If HOB = 1, LBA bits 47 to 24 and the higher-order 8 bits of the sector count are displayed in the task register.

If HOB = 0, LBA bits 23 to 0 and the lower-order 8 bits of the sector count are displayed in the task register.

-Bit 2: Software Reset (SRST) is the host software reset bit. When this bit is set, the device is held reset state. When two devices are daisy chained on the interface, setting this bit resets both devices simultaneously.

The slave device is not required to execute the DASP- handshake.

-Bit 1: nIEN bit enables an interrupt (INTRQ signal) from the device to the host. When this bit is 0 and the device is selected, an interruption (INTRQ signal) can be enabled through a tri-state buffer. When this bit is 1 or the device is not selected, the INTRQ signal is in the high- impedance state.

5.3Host Commands

The host system issues a command to the device by writing necessary parameters in related registers in the command block and writing a command code in the Command register.

The device can accept the command when the BSY bit is 0 (the device is not in the busy status).

The host system can halt the uncompleted command execution only at execution of hardware or software reset.

When the BSY bit is 1 or the DRQ bit is 1 (the device is requesting the data transfer) and the host system writes to the command register, the correct device operation is not guaranteed.

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.
