When the disk drive receives the read command that targets the sequential address
to the previous read command, the disk drive starts the read-ahead operation.
a. Sequential command just after non-sequential command
When the previously executed read command is an non-sequential
command and the last sector address of the previous read command is
sequential to the lead sector address of the received read command, the
disk drive assumes the received command is a sequential command and
performs the read-ahead operation after reading the requested data.

HAP to the start address of the segment and reads the requested data from the
load of the segment.
