Note 2.

If the number of auto reassigned sectors reaches the device’s reassignment capacity, the write cache function will be automatically disabled. Although the device still accepts the Set Features command (with Feature register = 02h) without error, the write cache function will remain disabled. For current write cache function status, please refer to the Identify Device Information(129word) by Identify Device command. Power off must not be done in 5 seconds after write command completion when write cache is enabled.

Note 3.

When Feature register is 85h (=Disable Advanced Power Management), the deepest Power Saving mode becomes Active Idle.
