Travelstar 5K100 Hard Disk Drive Specification
78
11.9.6 S.M.A.R.T. operation with power management modes
The device saves attribute values automatically on every head unload timing except the emergency unload, even if
the attribute auto save feature is not enabled. The head unload is done not only by Standby, Standby Immediate,
Sleep command, and Hard Reset, but also by the Standby timer. So it is not necessary for a host system to enable
the attribute auto save feature when it utilizes the power management. If the attribute auto save feature is enabled,
attribute values will be saved after 30 minutes have passed since the last saving, besides above condition.
