Table 116: Read Verify Sectors (40h/41h)
The Read Verify Sectors command verifies one or more sectors on the device. No data is transferred to the host.
The difference between the Read Sector(s) command and the Read Verify Sector(s) command is whether data is
transferred to the host or not.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the read verify will be terminated at the failing sector.
Output parameters to the device
Sector Count
This is the number of continuous sectors to be verified. If zero is specified, 256 sectors
will be verified.
Sector Number
This is the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
Cylinder High/Low
This is the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits 16–23 (High).
(L = 1)
H
This is the head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)
R
This is the retry bit. this bit is ignored.
Input parameters from the device
Sector Count
This is the number of requested sectors not verified. This number will be zero unless an
unrecoverable error occurs.
