Note that the Security Erase Unit command initializes from LBA 0 to Native MAX LBA. The Host MAX LBA is set by the Initialize Drive Parameter or the Set MAX ADDRESS command is ignored. The protected area by the Set MAX ADDRESS command is also initialized. This command requests the transfer of a single sector of data from the host including information specified in the table below. If the password does not match, the device rejects the command with an Aborted error. Table 99: Erase Unit information Word Description 00 Control Word bit 0 : Identifier (1- Master, 0- User) bit 1 : Erase mode (1- Enhanced, 0 - Normal) [Enhanced mode is not supported] bit 2-15 : Reserved 01-16 Password (32 bytes) 17-255 Reserved Identifier Zero indicates that the device should check the supplied password against the user password stored internally. One indicates that the device should check the given password against the master password stored internally. The Security Erase Unit command erases all user data and disables the security mode feature (device lock function). After the completion of this command, all the user data will be initialized to zero with a write operation. At this time, the data write is not verified with a read operation to determine if the data sector is initialized correctly. At this time the defective sector information and the reassigned sector information for the device are not updated. The security erase prepare command should be completed immediately prior to the Security Erase Unit command. Deskstar 7K250 Hard Disk Drive Specification 165
