Status Flag Definitions:

Bit

Flag Name

Definition

0

Pre-Failure/Advisory bit

If bit = 0, an Attribute Value less than or equal to its

 

corresponding Attribute Threshold indicates an Advisory

 

 

 

 

condition where the usage or age of the device has

 

 

exceeded its intended design life period.

 

 

If bit = 1, an Attribute Value less than or equal

 

 

to its corresponding Attribute Threshold

 

 

indicates a Pre-Failure condition where imminent

 

 

loss of data is being predicted.

 

 

 

1

On-Line Collective bit

If bit = 0, the Attribute Value is updated only during

 

 

Off-Line testing.

 

 

If bit = 1, the Attribute Value is updated during On-Line

 

 

testing or during both On-Line and Off-Line testing.

Table 113 Status Flag Definitions

Normalized Values: The device will perform conversion of the raw Attribute Values to transform them into normalized values, which the host can then compare with the Threshold values. A Threshold is the excursion limit for a normalized Attribute Value. In normalizing the raw data, the device will perform any necessary statistical validity checks to ensure that an instantaneous raw value is not improperly reflected in the normalized Attribute Value (i.e., one read error in the first 10 reads being interpreted as exceeding the read error rate threshold when the subsequent 1 billion reads all execute without error). The end points for the normalized values for all Attributes will be 1 (01h) at the low end, and 100 (64h) at the high end for the device. For Performance and Error Rate Attributes, values greater than 100 are also possible, up to a maximum value of 253 (FDh).

14.39.2.3Off-Line Data Collection Status

The value of this byte defines the current status of the off-line activities of the device. Bit 7 indicates Automatic Off-Line Data Collection Status.

Bit 7

0

1

Automatic Off-Line Data Collection Status

Automatic Off-Line Data Collection is disabled.

Automatic Off-Line Data Collection is enabled.

Bits 0 thru 6 represents a hexadecimal status value reported by the device.

Value

Definition

0Off-line data collection never started

2All segments completed without errors. In this case, current segment pointer equals to total segments required.

4Off-line data collection suspended by interrupting command

5Off-line data collecting aborted by interrupting command

6Off-line data collection aborted with fatal error

14.39.2.4Self-test execution status

Bit

Definition

0-3

Percent Self-test remaining

 

An approximation of the percent of the self-test routine remaining until completion in ten percent

 

increments. Valid values are 0 through 9.

4-7

Current Self-test execution status

 

0

The self-test routine completed without error or has never been run

 

1

The self-test routine aborted by the host

 

2

The self-test routine interrupted by the host with a hard or soft reset

 

3

The device was unable to complete the self-test routine due to a fatal error or unknown test error

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.
