Seagate Exos 7E10 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 34
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 12 on page 32. 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.
