The commands that are issued from the host to control the drive are listed, as well as the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the interface. 5. 1 INTRODUCTION The Maxtor QuickView Serial ATA 400/500GB hard disk drive uses the standard ATA/ATAPI-7 interface. Support of various options in the standard are explained in the following sections. 5. 2 5. 2. 1 MECHANICAL INTERFACE Signal Cable and Connector The Maxtor QuickView Serial ATA 400/500GB hard disk drive contains unitized connector for both signal and power connections. The dimensions and specifications of the unitized connector comply with clause 14 in the ATA/ ATAPI-7 standard. 5. 3 5. 3. 1 5. 3. 1. 1 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE ATA Bus Interface Electrical Characteristics Signals on the SATA interface are assigned to connector pins according to clause 14 in the ATA/ATAPI-7 standard. The signaling protocol complies with clause 15-17 of the standard. 5. 4 REGISTER ADDRESS DECODING The Maxtor QuickView Serial ATA 400/500GB hard disk drive allow their host systems to address the full set of command and control registers as specified in clause 5 of the ATA/ATAPI-7 standard. 5. 5 5. 5. 1 COMMAND INTERFACE General Feature Set The µProcessor, Disk Controller, and ATA Interface electronics are contained in a Maxtor QuickView 400/500GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive 5-1 SATA Bus Interface and ATA Commands proprietary ASIC developed by Maxtor. 5. 5. 2 Supported Commands The Maxtor QuickView Serial ATA 400/500GB hard disk drive support all the mandatory commands from the general feature set for devices not supporting the Packet command feature set. Refer to the ATA/ATAPI-7 standard for a detailed description of these commands. The IDENTIFY DRIVE command, however, is elaborated in the section "Identify Drive Command" on page 5-5 Note: 1. Table 5-1 lists the supported commands.

[. . . ] SECTOR ­ A section of space along a track on the disk, or the data that is stored in that section. Hard disks most often have sectors that are 512 data bytes long plus several bytes overhead for error correcting codes. Each Maxtor QuickView 400/500GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive G-7 Glossary SUBSTRATE ­ The material the disk platter is made of beneath the magnetic coating. Hard disks are generally made of aluminum or magnesium alloy (or glass, for optical disks) while the substrate of floppies is usually mylar. [. . . ]
