6.5.3Usage of read segment

This subsection explains the usage of the read segment buffer at following cases.

(1)Miss-hit (no hit)

A lead block of the read-requested data is not stored in the data buffer. The requested data is read from the disk media.

The read-ahead operation is performed till the buffer becomes full when the received lead sector address is sequential to the last sector address of previous read command. When it is not sequential, the drive checks that the sequential read command is executed for last received ten read commands. When no sequential read command is issued, the read-ahead operation is stopped (refer to item (2)).
