PList
When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the Primary Defect List.
When the value is 1, the returned data includes the Primary Defect List. The defects
are returned in ascending order.
GList
When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the Grown Defect List.
When the value is 1, the returned data includes the Grown Defect List. The defects
are returned in order of occurrence.
When both PList and GList are set to 1, the Primary Defect List and the Grown Defect
List are returned. The Plist is returned followed by the Glist (the lists are not merged).
When both are set to 0, only the Defect List Header (Table 5-144) is reported to the
initiator.
Defect List
Format
This field specifies the format in which the defect descriptors are to be returned. The
supported formats are:
000b Block Format (Table 5-142).
100b Bytes from the Index (Table 5-143). The data returned from this
mode does not include defects outside normal user space.
101b
Physical Sector Format (Table 5-143). Default format. The de-
fects returned from this mode do not include defects outside
normal user space.
110b
Vendor-Unique Format. This format is valid only for the READ
DEFECT DATA commands. The data returned from this mode
does not include defects outside normal user space. Note that
the vendor-unique format is proprietary in nature and thus is not
documented in this Product Manual.
