Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v5 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. G 31
6.3.1 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 8 on page 29. 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 7 for default
parameter settings.
The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.
