10.9 LBA High Register This register is command specific. This is used with the Set Features command, S.M.A.R.T. Function Set command and Format Unit command. When 48-bit addressing commands are used, the "most recently written" content contains LBA Bits 16-23, and the "previous content" contains Bits 40-47. The 48-bit Address feature set is described in Section 11.15 "48-bit Address Feature Set," on page 89. 10.10 LBA Low Register This register contains Bits 0-7. At the end of the command, this register is updated to reflect the current LBA Bits 0-7. When 48-bit commands are used, the "most recently written" content contains LBA Bits 0-7, and the "previous content" contains Bits 24-31. 10.11 LBA Mid Register This register contains Bits 8-15. At the end of the command, this register is updated to reflect the current LBA Bits 8-15. When 48-bit addressing commands are used, the "most recently written" content contains LBA Bits 8-15 and the "previous content" contains Bits 32-39. 10.12 Sector Count Register This register contains the number of sectors of data requested to be transferred on a read or write operation between the host and the device. If the value in the register is set to 0, a count of 256 sectors (in 28-bit addressing) or 65,536 sectors (in 48-bit addressing) is specified. If the register is zero at command completion, the command was successful. If not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors which need to be transferred in order to complete the request. The contents of the register are defined otherwise on some commands. These definitions are given in the command descriptions. 10.13 Status Register Table 43: Status Register 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 BSY DRDY DF DSC DRQ CORR IDX ERR This register contains the device status. The contents of this register are updated whenever an error occurs and at the completion of each command. If the host reads this register when an interrupt is pending, it is considered to be the interrupt acknowledge. Any pending interrupt is cleared whenever this register is read. If BSY=1, no other bits in the register are valid. Travelstar 5K100 Hard Disk Drive Specification 67
