Drive Parameters
WCE – Write Cache Enable (Byte 39, Bit 2): When this bit is set to1, the Maxtor
D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drives enable the Write Cache.
This indicates that the drive returns GOOD status for a write command after
successfully receiving the data, but before writing it to the disk. A value of zero
indicates that the drive returns GOOD status for a write command after successfully
receiving the data and writing it to the disk.
If the next command is another WRITE command, cached data continues to be
written to the disk while new data is added to the buffer. The default setting is 1.
RUEE – Reallocate Uncorrectable Error Enables (Byte 39, Bit 1): When set
to 1, this bit indicates that the Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard
disk drives will automatically reallocate uncorrectable hard errors, if the ARR bit (byte
36, bit 6) is set to 1. The default setting is 1.
