Automatic alternate block allocation 

• 

Automatic alternate block allocation at read operation 

 

If the ARRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, 
the HDDs automatically execute the alternate block allocation and data duplication on the defective 
data block detected during the READ or READ EXTENDED command.  This allocation method is 
the same as with the REASSIGN BLOCKS command (alternate sector treatment). 

• 

Automatic alternate block allocation at write operation 

 

If AWRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, the 
HDDs execute two kinds of automatic alternate processing during WRITE command processing as 
described below: 

 

Type 1 (Reassignment of Uncorrectable Read Error) 

 

1)  Commands to be applied 

- WRITE 

- WRITE 

EXTEND 

WRITE at executing WRITE AND VERIFY  

 2) 

Application 

requirements 

When any of the above commands is issued to LBA registered in the uncorrectable error log of 
the READ command (LBA log of uncorrectable error while the READ command is executed), 
the AWRE processing is applied. 

 3) 

AWRE 

processing 

The following processings are performed when the LBA matches the one in the uncorrectable 
error log: 

 

a) 

Primary media check 

 

-  Creates an uncorrectable error pattern (invalid LBA pattern) in the position of the error 

LBA, repeats the primary media check up to three times.  If the error still occurs after the 
check repeated three times, it is judged to be defective.  Then, it performs the alternate 
processing. 

 b) Alternate 

processing 

 

-  Alternate media check 

Writes the data that causes an unrecoverable error into the alternate block, and performs 
the media check. 
(If the alternate block is a defective sector, the block is registered to the G list, another 
alternate block is allocated.) 

 

c) 

SA and defect map update processing (on alternate side) 

 

 

When an error occurs in the alternate processing, this WRITE command terminates with error. 

 

When the alternate processing normally terminates, the WRITE command is executed.
