Barracuda LP Series SATA Product Manual, Rev. B 29
4.3.1 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 7 on
page 27. 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.
