Seek Seek operation mode Write Write operation mode Read Read operation mode Performance Idle Active idle Low power idle The device is capable of responding immediately to idle media access requests. All electronic components remain powered and the full frequency servo remains operational. The device is capable of responding immediately to media access requests. Some circuitry-including servo system and R/W electronics-is in power saving mode. The head is parked near the mid-diameter the disk without servoing. A device in Active idle mode may take longer to complete the execution of a command because it must activate that circuitry. The head is unloaded onto the ramp position. The spindle motor is rotating at full speed. Standby Sleep The device interface is capable of accepting commands. The spindle motor is stopped. All circuitry except the host interface is in power saving mode. The execution of commands is delayed until the spindle becomes ready. The device requires a soft reset or a hard reset to be activated. All electronics, including spindle motor and host interface, are shut off. 4.4.3.2 Mode transition time - from Standby to Idle Table 11: Drive ready time From To Transition Time (typ) Transition Time (max.) Standby Idle 3.0 9.5 4.4.3.3 Operating mode at power on The device goes into Idle mode after power on or hard reset as an initial state. Initial state may be changed to Standby mode using pin C on the interface connector. See section 7.10, "Drive address setting" on page 51 for details. 4.4.3.4 Adaptive power save control The transient timing from Performance Idle mode to Active Idle mode and Active Idle mode to Low Power Idle mode is controlled adaptively according to the access pattern of the host system. The transient timing from Low Power Idle mode to Standby mode is also controlled adaptively, if it is allowed by Set Features Enable Adavanced Power Management subcommand.

4.4.3.3
Operating mode at power on
The device goes into Idle mode after power on or hard reset as an initial state. Initial state may be changed to
Standby mode using pin C on the interface connector. See section 7.10, “Drive address setting” on page 51 for
details.
4.4.3.4
Adaptive power save control
The transient timing from Performance Idle mode to Active Idle mode and Active Idle mode to Low Power Idle
mode is controlled adaptively according to the access pattern of the host system. The transient timing from Low
Power Idle mode to Standby mode is also controlled adaptively, if it is allowed by Set Features Enable Adavanced
Power Management subcommand.

Idle
The device is capable of responding immediately to idle media access requests.
All elec-
tronic components remain powered and the full frequency servo remains operational.
Active idle
The device is capable of responding immediately to media access requests. Some cir-
cuitry—including servo system and R/W electronics—is in power saving mode. The head is
parked near the mid-diameter the disk without servoing.
A device in Active idle mode may
take longer to complete the execution of a command because it must activate that circuitry.
Low power idle
The head is unloaded onto the ramp position.
The spindle motor is rotating at full speed.
Standby
The device interface is capable of accepting commands.
The spindle motor is stopped. All
circuitry except the host interface is in power saving mode.
The execution of commands is
delayed until the spindle becomes ready.
Sleep
The device requires a soft reset or a hard reset to be activated.
All electronics, including
spindle motor and host interface, are shut off.
