Note 1. When the Feature register is 03h ( = Set Transfer mode) the Sector Count Register specifies the
transfer mechanism. The upper 5 bits define the type of transfer and the low order 3 bits encode the mode
value.

Note 2. If the number of auto reassigned sectors reaches the device's reassignment capacity, the write
cache function will be automatically disabled. Although the device still accepts the Set Features command
(with Feature register = 02h) without error, the write cache function will remain disabled. For the current
write cache function status, refer to the Identify Device Information (129 word) by the Identify Device
command. Hard reset or power off must not be done in 5 seconds after write command completion when
write cache is enabled.
Note 3. When the Feature register is 85h (= Disable Advanced Power Management) the deepest Power
Saving mode becomes Active Idle.
