All requested data are stored in the data buffer. The disk drive starts transferring the requested data from the address of which the requested data is stored. After completion of command, a previously existed cache data before the full hit reading are still kept in the buffer, and the disk drive does not perform the read-ahead operation. If the disk drive receives a full hit command while performing the read-ahead operation, the disk drive starts transfering the requested data without stopping the read-ahead operation.

1)In the case that the contents of the data buffer is as follows for example and the previous command is a sequential read command, the disk drive sets the HAP to the address of which the hit data is stored.

A part of requested data including a lead sector are stored in the data buffer. The disk drive starts the data transfer from the address of the hit data corresponding to the lead sector of the requested data, and reads remaining requested data from the disk media directly.
