5.2 Logical Interface

-Bit 1: Track 0 Not Found (TK0NF). This bit indicates that track 0 was not found during RECALIBRATE command execution.

-Bit 0: Address Mark Not Found (AMNF). This bit indicates that the SB Not Found error occurred.

[Diagnostic code]

X’01’: No Error Detected.

X’02’: HDC Diagnostic Error

X’03’: Data Buffer Diagnostic Error.

X’04’: Memory Diagnostic Error.

X’05’: Reading the system area is abnormal.

X’06’: Calibration is abnormal.

X’80’: Device 1 (slave device) Failed.

Error register of the master device is valid under two devices (master and slave) configuration. If the slave device fails, the master device posts X’80’ OR (the diagnostic code) with its own status (X’01’ to X’06’).

However, when the host system selects the slave device, the diagnostic code of the slave device is posted.

(3) Features register (X’1F1’)

The Features register provides specific feature to a command. For instance, it is used with SET FEATURES command to enable or disable caching.

(4) Sector Count register (X’1F2’)

The Sector Count register indicates the number of sectors of data to be transferred in a read or write operation between the host system and the device. When the value in this register is X’00’, the sector count is 256. With the EXT system command, the sector count is 65536 when value of this register is X'00' in the first setting and X'00' in the second setting.

When this register indicates X’00’ at the completion of the command execution, this indicates that the command is completed successfully. If the command is not completed successfully, this register indicates the number of sectors to be transferred to complete the request from the host system. That is, this register indicates the number of remaining sectors that the data has not been transferred due to the error.

The contents of this register have other definition for the following commands;

INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS, SET FEATURES, IDLE, STANDBY and SET MULTIPLE MODE.

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.
