Description

Defect List Format

This field specifies the format in which the defect descriptors are to be
returned. The supported formats are:
000b

Block Format (Figure 5-62).

1

100b

Bytes from the Index (Figure 5-63). The data returned from
this mode does not include defects outside normal user
space.

101b

Physical Sector Format (Figure 5-63). Default format. The
defects 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.

1

All in-line spared blocks do not have an associated LBA, and, therefore, will not be seen in Logical

Block Format.
