4.3 Start/stop time The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure). If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a

2. When a requested logical block is reached that is not in any cache segment, the drive fetches it and any remaining requested logical block addresses from the disc and puts them in a segment of the cache. The drive transfers the remaining requested logical blocks from the cache to the host in accordance with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h. 3. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 4.5.2 for operation from this point. Case B—A Read command requests d
