The Read-Write recovery parameters that will be used during any command that performs a read or write
operation to the medium are as follows:
! AWRE (Automatic Write Reallocation Enabled) of one indicates that the drive performs automatic re-
allocation of defective data blocks during write operations. AWRE of zero indicates that the drive will
not perform automatic reallocation of defective data blocks during write operations.
! ARRE (Automatic Read Reallocation Enabled) of one indicates that the drive performs automatic re-
allocation of defective data blocks during read operations. ARRE of zero indicates that the drive will
not perform automatic reallocation of defective data blocks during read operations.
! TB (Transfer Block) of one indicates that a data block that is not recovered by ERP is transferred to
the initiator before CHECK CONDITION status is returned. TB of zero indicates that such a data block
will not be transferred to the initiator. Data blocks that can be recovered are always transferred
regardless of the value of TB.
! RC (Read Continuous) of one requests the drive to transfer the entire requested length of data without
adding delays which would increase or ensure data integrity. This implies that the drive may send
erroneous data. This bit has priority over all other error control bits (PER, DTE, DCR, TB). RC of zero
indicates normal interpretation of PER, DTE, DCR, and TB values. The RC setting is used by the drive
when reporting errors associated with the transfer of the Initiator's data for READ (6) and READ (10)
commands:
Note: The drive implementation of the RC option is to disable error detection of the data fields but
continue normal error detection and recovery for errors occurring in the servo field. If a servo field
failure occurs, normal ERP steps are taken which result in considerable recovery action.
! EER (Enable Early Recovery) must be set to zero, indicating that the drive uses ERP that minimizes
the risk of misdetection or miscorrection during the data transfer.
