Table 191 Read Verify Sector(s) Command (40h/41h)
The Read Verify Sector(s) verifies one or more sectors on the device. No data is transferred to the host.
The difference between Read Sector(s) command and Read Verify Sector(s) command is whether the data is
transferred to the host or not.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the read verify will be terminated at the failing sector.

Sector Count
The number of continuous sectors to be verified. If zero is specified, then 256 sectors will
be verified.
Sector Number
The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 0 – 7. (L=1)
Cylinder High/Low
The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 8 – 15 (Low), 16 – 23 (High). (L=1)
H
The head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 24 – 27. (L=1)
R
The retry bit, but this bit is ignored.
Input Parameters From The Device
Sector Count
The number of requested sectors not verified. This will be zero, unless an unrecoverable
error occurs.
