Default
Field Value Description
Read Retry Count 4Specifies the number of retries attempted for a failed read operation.
Correction Span 170 Specifies the maximum number of bits in a data sector that the
drive is allowed to correct. A value less than the default value can
cause an otherwise correctable error to be reported as
uncorrectable. If the initiator specifies a value larger than the default
value, the drive automatically rounds down the number to the
default value. A value of 0 causes the drive to use the default value.
The drive ignores any value placed in this field.
Head Offset Count 0Not supported by the drive.
Data Strobe Offset 0Not supported by the drive.
Count
Write Retry Count 8Specifies the number of retries attempted for a failed write
operation.
Recovery Time Limit 0Specifies the maximum time, in milliseconds, that a retry is
attempted on a failed sector during a read or write operation. When
the value is 0, it means that there is no time limit. The mimum
permissible value, however, is 100 milliseconds.
NOTE: Fully supported and temporary fields are underlined. Unsupported and ignored fields are
not underlined. The PS bit is underlined, meaning it will be set on a MODE SENSE
command, since the page is savable
