10.11 Reassign function The Reassign function is used with read commands and write commands. The sectors of data for reassignment are prepared as the spare data sector. This reassignment information is registered internally and the information is available right after completing the Reassign function. Also the information is used on the next power on reset or hard reset. If the number of the spare sector reaches 0 sector, the Reassign function will be automatically disabled. The spare sectors for reassignment are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. As a result of reassignment the physical location of logically sequenced sectors will be dispersed. 10.11.1 Auto Reassign function The sectors which show some errors may be reallocated automatically when specific conditions are met. The spare tracks for reallocation are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. The conditions for auto- reallocation are described below. Nonrecovered write errors • When a write operation cannot be completed after the Error Recovery Procedure (ERP) is fully carried out, the sector(s) are reallocated to the spare location. An error is reported to the host system only when the write cache is disabled and the auto reallocation has failed. If the Write Cache function is ENABLED when the number of available spare sectors reaches 0 sector, both Auto Reassign function and Write Cache function are automatically disabled. Nonrecovered read errors • When a read operation has failed after defined ERP is fully carried out, a hard error is reported to the host system. This location is registered internally as a candidate for reallocation. When a registered location is specified as a target of a write operation, a sequence of media verification is performed automatically. When the result of this verification meets the criteria, this sector is reallocated. Recovered read errors • When a read operation for a sector has failed once and then has recovered at the specific ERP step, this sector of data is automatically reallocated. A media verification sequence may be run prior to the reallocation according to the predefined conditions. Deskstar 7K500 and Deskstar E7K500 Hard Disk Drive Specification 92

Reassign function

The Reassign function is used with read commands and write commands. The sectors of data for reassignment are

prepared as the spare data sector.

This reassignment information is registered internally and the information is available right after completing the

Reassign function. Also the information is used on the next power on reset or hard reset.

If the number of the spare sector reaches 0 sector, the Reassign function will be automatically disabled.

The spare sectors for reassignment are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. As a result of reassignment the

physical location of logically sequenced sectors will be dispersed.

10.11.1

Auto Reassign function

The sectors which show some errors may be reallocated automatically when specific conditions are met. The spare

tracks for reallocation are located at regular intervals from Cylinder 0. The conditions for auto- reallocation are

described below.

Nonrecovered write errors

•

When a write operation cannot be completed after the Error Recovery Procedure (ERP) is fully carried

out, the sector(s) are reallocated to the spare location. An error is reported to the host system only when

the write cache is disabled and the auto reallocation has failed. If the Write Cache function is

ENABLED when the number of available spare sectors reaches 0 sector, both Auto Reassign function

and Write Cache function are automatically disabled.

Nonrecovered read errors

•

When a read operation has failed after defined ERP is fully carried out, a hard error is reported to the

host system. This location is registered internally as a candidate for reallocation. When a registered

location is specified as a target of a write operation, a sequence of media verification is performed auto-

matically. When the result of this verification meets the criteria, this sector is reallocated.

Recovered read errors

•

When a read operation for a sector has failed once and then has recovered at the specific ERP step, this

sector of data is automatically reallocated. A media verification sequence may be run prior to the reallo-

cation according to the predefined conditions.
