A returned value of 1 indicates that&GUETKRVKQPthe target is capable of saving the page

in a non-volatile, vendor-specific location. The bit is reserved with the

MODE SELECT command

Automatic Write Reallocation Enable. When the value is 1, it causes the

drive to automatically reallocate bad sectors encountered during a write op-

eration. If it succeeds in replacing the bad sector, the drive adds the revec-

tored sector’s Logical Block Number to the Grown Defect List. Reallocation

is done only when the drive is able to recover the sector’s data unless the

HrdBBR bit of the Maxtor (Vendor) Special Function Control Page is set.

When AWRE is 0, the drive does not automatically reallocate bad sectors

encountered during a write operation. See also Maxtor-Unique Page 39h.

Automatic Read Reallocation Enable. When the value is 1, it causes the

drive to automatically reallocate bad sectors encountered during a read op-

eration. If it succeeds in replacing the bad sector, the drive adds the revec-

tored sector’s Logical Block Number to the Grown Defect List. Reallocation

is done only when the drive is able to recover the sector’s data unless the

Reallocate Uncorrected Errors bit of the Maxtor (Vendor) Special Function

Control Page is set.

When ARRE is 0, the drive does not automatically reallocate bad sectors en-

Transfer Block. When the value is 1, the drive sends best-guess information

When the value is 0, data that cannot be fully recovered is not returned to

the initiator.
