Implementation note for Background Operation (Function code = 0001h, 0002h)

In this mode, the drive will return command completion status when the drive finished receiving data.

Any command, including IDENTIFY DEVICE, other than SCT Status, issued to the drive while this command is in progress will terminate the SCT Write Same command. The incoming command is executed.

Use the SCT Status command to retrieve status information about the current SCT command. Example status information includes: command active or complete, current LBA, and errors. When this command is in progress, the SCT status error code will be FFFFh, and set to 0000h if the command completes without error. It will be less than FFFFh and grater the 0000h if the command terminated prematurely for any reason.

Possible Extended Status Code for Background Operation (Function code = 0001h, 0002h)

0008h

Background SCT command was aborted because of an interrupting host command

0009h

Background SCT command was terminated because of unrecoverable error

FFFFh

SCT command executing in background

Implementation note for Blocking Operation (Function code = 0101h, 0102h)

In this mode, the drive will return command completion status when the drive finished the SCT Write Same operation.
