Table 135 Write Sector(s) Command (30h/31h)

The Write Sector(s) command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device, then the data is written to the disk media.

The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.

If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector, when the auto reassign function is disable.

Output Parameters To The Device

Sector Count

The number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified, then 256 sectors

 

will be transferred.

LBA Low

The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)

 

In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 0 - 7. (L=1)

LBA High/Mid

The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)

 

In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 8 - 15 (Mid), 16 - 23 (High). (L=1)

H

The head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)

 

In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 24 - 27. (L=1)

R

The retry bit, but this bit is ignored.

Input Parameters From The Device

Sector Count

The number of requested sectors not transferred. This will be zero, unless

 

 

an unrecoverable error occurs.

 

 

LBA Low

The sector number of the last transferred sector. (L=0)

 

In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 0 - 7. (L=1)

LBA High/Mid

The cylinder number of the last transferred sector. (L=0)

 

In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 8 - 15 (Mid), 16 - 23 (High).

 

(L=1)

H

The head number of the last transferred sector. (L=0)In LBA mode, this register

 

contains current LBA bits 24 - 27. (L=1)

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.
