Interface

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.

MHW2060AC, MHW2040AC specifications

The Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are notable hard disk drives (HDDs) that have been widely used in various computing applications, especially in laptops and compact devices. These models are part of Fujitsu's commitment to providing reliable storage solutions that meet the demands of modern computing.

The MHW2040AC offers a storage capacity of 40 GB, while the MHW2060AC provides a slightly larger capacity at 60 GB. This range of storage makes both models suitable for users looking for dependable space for documents, multimedia files, and software applications. Both drives utilize a 2.5-inch form factor, ideal for mobile computing, as they are lightweight and designed to fit into space-constrained environments.

In terms of performance, both drives operate at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM. This speed strikes a balance between power consumption and performance, making these drives an efficient choice for everyday tasks, such as web browsing and office applications. The drives are equipped with an interface of Ultra ATA/133, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to older models, thereby enhancing overall system responsiveness.

The MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC also incorporate several advanced technologies to bolster their performance and reliability. One such feature is the use of a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for the spindle motor, which minimizes noise and vibration, thus improving the overall user experience. Additionally, both drives come with error correction technology that helps maintain data integrity by detecting and correcting errors during read and write operations.

Moreover, these HDDs feature a shock sensor that can detect sudden movements, allowing the drive to park its heads to prevent data loss and hardware damage. This is particularly beneficial in mobile environments where the risks of impact are higher.

Both the MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are designed with energy-saving features, making them an environmentally responsible choice for energy-conscious consumers. Their low power consumption not only contributes to a reduced carbon footprint but also extends battery life for portable devices.

In summary, the Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are reliable, efficient, and user-friendly hard disk drives that combine moderate capacities with advanced features designed to enhance performance, ensure data integrity, and extend device longevity. These drives are well-suited for a range of applications, making them a solid choice for users seeking dependable storage solutions.
