Write Sectors Command (30h/31h) The Write Sectors command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device; the data is then written to the disk media. The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector. Output parameters to the device Sector Count This parameter represents the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified, then 256 sectors will be transferred. Sector Number The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0) In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 0-7. (L=1) Cylinder High/Low The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0) In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 8-15 (Low), 16-23 (High). (L=1) H The head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0) In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 24-27. (L=1) R This parameter represents the retry bit. If it is set to one, retries are disabled. If it is ignored, write cache is enabled. (Ignoring the retry bit is in violation of ATA-2.) Deskstar 60 GXP Hard disk drive specification 187

Figure 140. Write Sectors Command (30h/31h)
The Write Sectors command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device; the data is then
written to the disk media.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector.
Output parameters to the device
Sector Count
This parameter represents the number of continuous sectors to be transferred.
If zero is specified, then 256 sectors will be transferred.
Sector Number
The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 0–7. (L=1)
Cylinder High/Low
The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 8–15 (Low), 16–23 (High). (L=1)
H
The head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 24–27. (L=1)
R
This parameter represents the retry bit. If it is set to one, retries are disabled. If it
is ignored, write cache is enabled. (Ignoring the retry bit is in violation of ATA-2.)
