SIZE_OF_PROTECTED_AREA
Setting this field differs between standard- and high-capacity cards. In the case of a
standard-capacity card, the capacity of protected area is calculated as follows:
Protected area = SIZE_OF_PROTECTED_AREA_* MULT * BLOCK_LEN.
SIZE_OF_PROTECTED_AREA is specified by the unit in MULT*BLOCK_LEN.
In the case of a high-capacity card, the capacity of protected area is specified in this field:
Protected area = SIZE_OF_PROTECTED_AREA
SIZE_OF_PROTECTED_AREA is specified by the unit in bytes.
SPEED_CLASS
This 8-bit field indicates the speed class and the value can be calculated by P
W
/2 (where
P
W
is the write performance).
PERFORMANCE_MOVE
This 8-bit field indicates Pm (performance move) and the value can be set by 1 [MB/sec]
steps. If the card does not move used RUs (recording units), Pm should be considered as
infinity. Setting the field to FFh means infinity.
