(16) SECTOR INTERLEAVE
A 1 : 1 interleave is supported.
(17) SELECTABLE BLOCK LENGTH
A 512 bytes block length is supported as a default and other block length is also
available after the disk re-format.
Refer to the Product Specification for details.
(18) SMART(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting)
The SMART(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting) function is supported. This
function enables to perform an analysis, logging and reporting the error to the host
computer by the disk drive itself .
(19) TRACK/CYLINDER SKEW
In order to avoid a rotational latency for the seek to the adjacent head or cylinder,
Head/ Cylinder Skew function which shifts the sector configuration at the head/
cylinder boundary (between the last sector of the head/ cylinder and the first sector
of the next head/ cylinder) is supported, so that the read write head can be
positioned to the first sector of the next head/ cylinder. Therefore, reading/
writing of contiguous blocks is done without an extra rotational delay, even if an
access is done over the physical track/cylinder boundary.
(20) WRITE CACHE
The write cache function provides a high performance for a sequential write access.
It may return the completion with the GOOD status for a WRITE command after
successfully receiving the data from the host computer and prior to having
successfully stored the data on the disk medium.
(21) DUPLEX FUNCTION
During the data transferring , the disk Drive can queue commands received in
same port.
