36 Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. F 4.1.3 Set Features command This command (EFH) controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows: 02H Enable write cache (default). 03H Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register). Sector Count register values: 00H Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2). 01H Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2). 08H PIO mode 0 09H PIO mode 1 0AH PIO mode 2 (default) 0BH PIO mode 3 0CH PIO mode 4 20H Multiword DMA mode 0 21H Multiword DMA mode 1 22H Multiword DMA mode 2 40H Ultra DMA mode 0 41H Ultra DMA mode 1 42H Ultra DMA mode 2 43H Ultra DMA mode 3 44H Ultra DMA mode 4 45H Ultra DMA mode 5 55H Disable read look-ahead (read cache) feature. 82H Disable write cache.

the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt.
If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports,
the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write
caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are
defined as follows:
