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.

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.
