API 6 resolves this issue by increasing the maximum number of bits used for addressing from 28 to 48 This solution increases the maximum capacity of an ATA device to 144 petabytes while maintaining compatibility with current ATA products A 1 3 How is the Extension Implemented The 48 bit Address feature set provides a method to address devices with capacities up to approximately 144 petabytes by increasing the number of bits used to specify logical block addresses LBAs from 28 to 48 The feature set also provides a method to increase the number of sectors that can be transferred by a single command from 256 to 65 536 by increasing the number of bits specifying sector count to 16 bits New commands specific to this feature set have been defined so that devices can implement the new feature set in addition to previously defined commands Devices implementing the 48 bit Address feature set commands will also implement commands that use 28 bit addressing in order to maintain interoperability with older system components In addition 8 bit and 48 bit commands may be intermixed The 48 bit Address feature set operates in LBA addressing only Support of the 48 bit Address feature set is indicated in the IDENTIFY DEVICE response data In a device implementing the 48 bit Address feature set the registers used for addressing are in fact a two byte deep FIFO Each time one of these registers is written the new content written is placed into the m
