(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.

MHV2040AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2060AH, MHV2100AH specifications

The Fujitsu MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH, are renowned for their reliability and performance in the mobile HDD segment. Designed primarily for use in laptops and other portable devices, these drives integrate cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of today's data-intensive applications.

One of the hallmark features of the MHV series is its high data density, allowing for substantial storage capabilities in compact sizes. The MHV2060AH offers a storage capacity of 60 GB, while the MHV2080AH and MHV2100AH offer 80 GB and 100 GB respectively. The MHV2040AH provides a slightly more modest but still robust 40 GB of storage. This range of capacities ensures that users can select the model that best fits their storage needs.

The drives utilize the latest perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which enhances recording efficiency and increases data storage densities. This technology significantly optimizes the use of disk surface area, providing better performance and more reliable data access. Additionally, the MHV series incorporates an advanced actuator system that ensures precision head positioning, enhancing data integrity and reducing error rates during read and write operations.

In terms of performance, the MHV series maintains a revolutions per minute (RPM) rating of 5400, which strikes a balance between speed and energy efficiency, making these drives suitable for low-power applications. The drives are also designed with a low acoustic level, generating minimal noise during operation—a crucial factor for mobile users who prefer quieter devices.

Furthermore, the Fujitsu MHV series features a robust shock resistance design, allowing them to withstand the rigors of mobile computing. This makes them suitable for use in portable environments subject to vibration and physical movement, thus ensuring data security and drive longevity.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH represent a formidable selection of mobile hard disk drives filled with advanced technologies and features, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications in today's fast-paced digital world. With their combination of storage capacity, performance, and durability, these drives continue to serve as reliable solutions for users seeking efficient data storage in portable formats.
