ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
I can not find ATA-8 completed standard any where. I am trying to find out more about Advanced Format drives and how they are sized to the Operating System default. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not think most of us hobby developers could spend as much asked for those specifications...

If a trainstation is where trains stop, what is a workstation ?
Re: ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
That doesn't seem to be a final specification though:
This is a draft proposed American National Standard of Accredited Standards Committee INCITS. As such
this is not a completed standard. The T10 Technical Committee may modify this document as a result of
comments received during public review and its approval as a standard. Use of the information contained
here in is at your own risk.
Is it safe enough of a draft to implement? Thank you for it though.
I am specifically trying to find out if these medias use 512 bytes default unless asked by
the OS otherwise or if the difference is entirely invisible to the OS as I may have read.

They're all drafts, at least, that's what's available.

Re: ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
It's a usual procedure to make drafts freely available, but to charge a fee for the "real" standard document...
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
Re: ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
That I knew but I was wondering if anyone was able to legally give out a copy of the standards, final draft.

Re: ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
Does the Linux Kernel have a completed implementation of the latest standard?

Re: ATA Specification Standards and Advanced Format Terms
Define "complete implementation"
The linux kernel will have only have that which was considered necessary by at least someone with commit rights. You may find anything between none, just enough to make it work, and what you actually need. The only way to find out is to read the code (and the linux kernel is far from worlds cleanest code - "real programmers" don't need comments right?
).
