Active mode

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

Performance idle mode

The drive enters this mode once the read/write/seek activity is completed. The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

Low power idle mode

Drive enters Low Power Idle mode from Performance Idle mode when the Advanced Power Management Level is set between 80h and FDh, and the Idle timer reaches 2 seconds (default setting). Disc is spinning and heads are parked and drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

Standby/Sleep mode

The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. When the Advanced Power Management Level is set lower than 80h (default setting), the drive enters the Standby state after 2 seconds of interface inactivity. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive may also enter the Standby mode after the expiry of the standby timer. The standby timer can be set using the Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.
