7K200 SATA OEM Specification

If set to one, LBA Low is set to C4h if the unload is being executed or has completed successfully. It is set to 4Ch if the unload was not accepted or has failed.

The NQ field (Byte 0 bit 7) indicates whether the error condition was a result of a non-queued or not. If it is cleared, the error information corresponds to a queued command specified by the tag number indicated in the TAG field.

The bytes 1 to 13 correspond to the contents of Shadow Register Block when the error was reported.

The Data Structure Checksum (Byte 511) contains the 2’s complement of the sum of the first 511 bytes in the data structure. The sum of all 512 bytes of the data structure will be zero when the checksum is correct.

14.16.5Phy Event Counter

Phy Event Counters are a feature to obtain more information about Phy level events that occur on the interface. The counter values are not retained across power cycles. The counter values are preserved across COMRESET and software resets.

14.16.5.1Counter Reset Mechanisms

There are 2 mechanisms by which the host can explicitly cause the Phy counters to be reset. The first mechanism is to issue a BIST Activate FIS to the drive. The second mechanism uses the Read Log Ext command. When the drive receives a Read Log Ext command for log page 11h and bit 0 in Feature register is set to one, the drive returns the current counter values for the command and then resets all Phy event counter values.

14.16.5.2Counter Identifiers

Each counter begins with a 16-bit identifier. The following table defines the counter value for each identifier.

For all counter descriptions, “transmitted” refers to items sent by the drive to the host and “received” refers to items received by the drive from the host.

Bits 14:12 of the counter identifier convey the number of significant bits that counter uses. All counter values consumes a multiple of 16-bits. The valid values for bit 14:12 and the corresponding counter size are:

1h

2h

3h

4h

16-bit counter

32-bit counter

48-bit counter

64-bit counter

HDS723020BLA642 specifications

The Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 is a high-performance hard disk drive that exemplifies the balance between reliability and advanced technology, making it an excellent choice for a range of applications, from desktop computers to enterprise storage solutions. This 2TB SATA hard drive is designed to meet the growing data storage needs of users who demand both speed and efficiency.

One of the key features of the HDS723020BLA642 is its impressive rotational speed of 7200 RPM. This speed facilitates faster data access and improved overall performance, significantly enhancing the user experience during data-intensive operations such as gaming, video editing, and large file transfers. Coupled with a SATA III interface, this drive facilitates data transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s, providing an efficient conduit for moving data quickly between the hard drive and the motherboard.

The drive comes equipped with a large 64 MB cache, which plays a crucial role in buffering read and write operations. This substantial amount of cache memory allows the drive to temporarily store frequently accessed data, leading to reduced latency and enabling smoother multitasking capabilities. Users will benefit from faster load times and reduced wait periods when working with large files.

Reliability is another defining characteristic of the HDS723020BLA642. Hitachi, now a part of Western Digital, has a longstanding reputation for producing durable hard drives. This model incorporates advanced technologies, such as the Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) for quieter operation and better longevity. The drive also features an enhanced error recovery system that minimizes the risk of data loss, making it a suitable option for both personal and professional use.

In terms of power efficiency, the HDS723020BLA642 is designed to consume less power during operation compared to older hard drive models. This efficiency not only helps in reducing operational costs but also contributes to a longer lifespan for the drive itself.

Overall, the Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 hard drive combines speed, reliability, and efficiency into a compact package, making it an ideal choice for users needing a substantial amount of storage without compromising on performance. Whether for upgrading an existing system or building a new one, this drive offers a blend of technology and durability that caters to modern storage demands.
