3.1.5 Format 

capacity 

 

The size of the usable area for storing user data on the HDDs (format capacity) varies according to 
the logical data block or the size of the spare sector area.  Table 3.1 lists examples of the format 
capacity when the typical logical data block length and the default spare area are used.  The following 
is the general formula to calculate the format capacity. 

 

[Number of sectors of each zone] = [number of sectors per track 

×

 number of tracks per cell – 

number of alternate spare sectors per cell] 

×

 [number of cells in the zone] 

 

[Formatted capacity] = [total of sectors of all zones] 

÷

 [number of physical sectors in logical block] 

×

 

[logical data block length] 

 

The following formula must be used when the number of logical data blocks are specified with the 
parameter in the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command. 

 

[Format capacity] = [logical data block length] 

×

 [number of logical data blocks] 

 

The logical data block length, the maximum logical block address, and the number of the logical data 
blocks can be read out by a READ CAPACITY, MODE SENSE, or MODE SENSE EXTENDED 
command after initializing the disk medium.

 Note: 

 

Total number of spare sectors is calculated by adding the number of spare sectors in each primary 
cylinder and the number of sectors in the alternate cylinders. 

 
3.2 

Logical Data Block Addressing 

 

Independently of the physical structure of the disk drive, the HDDs adopt the logical data block 
addressing as a data access method on the disk medium.  The HDDs relate a logical data block 
address to each physical sector at formatting.  Data on the disk medium is accessed in logical data 
block units.  The INIT specifies the data to be accessed using the logical data block address of that 
data. 

 

The logical data block addressing is a function whereby individual data blocks are given addresses of 
serial hexadecimal numbers in each drive.
