CONSTELLATION ES SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. F 33
6.3.1 Identify Device command
The Identify Device command (command code EC
H
) transfers information about the drive to the host following power up. The data is
organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in Table 9 on page 31. All reserved bits or words should be set to
zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive. see Section 2.0 on page 4for default parameter
settings.
The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.
Word Description Value

• Bit 15: 0 = ATA; 1 = ATAPI
• Bit 7: removable media
• Bit 6: removable controller
• Bit 0: reserved
