8.2.40 Write Long (32h)

This command is obsolete in the ATA7 specification. The supporting of this command is for backward compatibility purpose. The use of this command is beyond the ATA standard and not recommended by the manufacturer.

This command is similar to the Write Sectors command, except that it writes the data and the ECC bytes directly from the sector buffer; the drive does not generate the ECC bytes itself. Only single sector Write Long operations are supported. The transfer of the ECC bytes shall be 8 bits wide and 4 or device native ECC bytes length.

8.2.41 Write Multiple Command (C5h, 39h: extended)

This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. Interrupts are not presented on each sector but on the transfer of a block which contains the number of sectors defined by Set Multiple.

Command execution is identical to the Write Sectors operation, except that the numbers of sectors defined by the Set Multiple command are transferred without intervening interrupts. DRQ qualification of the transfer is required only at the start of the data block, not on each sector.

The block count of sectors to be transferred without intervening interrupts is programmed by the Set Multiple Mode command, which shall be executed prior to the Read Multiple command.

When the Write Multiple command is issued, the Sector Count register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks or the block count) requested.

If the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the block count, as many full blocks as possible are transferred, followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n sectors, where

n = Remainder (Sector Count / Block Count)

If the Write Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple Mode command has been executed, or when Write Multiple commands are disabled, the Write Multiple operation is rejected with an aborted command error.

Disk errors encountered during execution of Write Multiple commands are posted after the attempted disk write of the block. Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block.

The contents of the Command Block registers, following the transfer of a data block which had a sector in error, are undefined. The host should retry the transfer as individual requests to obtain valid error information.

8.2.42Write Sector(s) (30h, 34h: extended)

This command writes from 1 to 256 sectors, as specified in the Sector Count register (a sector count of zero requests 256 sectors), beginning at the specified sector. Refer to Section 6.7 for the DRQ, IRQ and BSY protocol on data transfers.

If the drive is not already on the desired track, an implied seek is performed. Once at the desired track, the drive searches for the appropriate ID field.

M8-DVR specifications

The Samsung M8-DVR is an advanced digital video recorder designed to meet the ever-evolving demands of modern surveillance and recording needs. This cutting-edge device combines state-of-the-art technology with user-friendly features, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications.

At the core of the M8-DVR’s design is its high-definition recording capability. The device supports various resolutions, including Full HD 1080p, ensuring that all captured footage is crystal clear. This clarity is crucial for identifying details, whether for security purposes or monitoring activities around the clock. It can accommodate multiple camera inputs, allowing users to expand their surveillance network seamlessly.

One of the standout features of the M8-DVR is its remarkable storage capacity. Equipped with advanced hard disk technology, it can store several terabytes of footage, which can be further expanded using additional drives. This means that even with continuous recording, users won’t have to worry about running out of storage quickly. The device also incorporates efficient compression technologies, such as H.265, which allows for reduced file sizes without sacrificing video quality.

In terms of connectivity, the M8-DVR offers various options, including Ethernet ports for network connectivity, USB ports for data transfer, and HDMI output for direct connection to monitors. This versatility allows users to easily stream live footage or review recordings on larger screens. The device supports remote viewing through mobile applications, allowing users to monitor their property from virtually anywhere in real-time.

User experience is further enhanced by an intuitive interface that makes navigation simple and efficient. It includes features like motion detection and alerts, which notify users of any unusual activities. The advanced search function is another highlight, enabling users to quickly locate specific events in their recordings without long hours of scrolling.

The Samsung M8-DVR is also designed with durability in mind. It comes with robust security features to protect against unauthorized access and offers backup options to prevent data loss. With its blend of technology, storage capabilities, and user-friendly design, the Samsung M8-DVR stands out as a comprehensive solution for modern video surveillance needs, making it an essential tool for enhancing security and peace of mind in any environment.
