Formatted capacity
2.2.1
LBA mode
When addressing these drives in LBA mode, all blocks (sectors) are consecutively numbered from 0 to
n–1,
where
n
is
the number of guaranteed sectors as defined above
.
See Section 4.1.2, "Identify Device command" (words 60-61 and 100-103) for additional information about 48-
bit addressing support of drives with capacities over 137 Gbytes.
