This message is from the T13 list server.
In section 4.3.3, p53 of SATA II specification (Revision 1.2), it
states that the
first Dword of the log page (READ LOG EXT log page 11h) contains
information
that applies to the rest of the log page. When the host reads log
page 11h
from the device, it checks the so-called first Dword and reads the first
(note that there is no required ordering for event counters within
the log
page according to section 4.3.2, p53 of SATA II) PHY event counter and
continues until identifier of 0000h is read.
1.However, where is the first identifier addressed? byte 0 of log page
11h? No! Byte 0 of log page 11h is intuitively of the first Dword.
2.Further, why byte [3:0] is Reserved in Figure 25, p54 of SATA II,
isn't it the first Dword which containsinformation that applies to the
rest of the log page?
Thanks!
