(3)Sequential read

When the disk drive receives the read command that targets the sequential address to the previous read command, the disk drive tries to fill the buffer space with the read ahead data.

a. Sequential command just after non-sequential command

1)At receiving the sequential read command, the disk drive sets the DAP and HAP to the sequential address of the last read command and reads the requested data.
