Identify Device command

The Identify Device command (command code EC

H

) transfers information about the drive to the host following

power up. The data is organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in Table 7 on
page 25. All reserved bits or words should be set to zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or
vary with the state of the drive. See Section 2.0 on page 3 for default parameter settings.

The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specifica-
tion.
