Soft reset vs skip threshold ? #25

Open exus69 opened 10 months ago

I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.

As per my understanding, a soft reset is triggered when a read command sent by the program to a sector in the drive to either get a good or bad response from the drive is not received within 8 seconds (default). In that case, a read command is then sent to the next sector. Is this right or not ?

If it's right then the skip threshold which gets triggered in 1 second (default) shall always take precedence over soft reset isn't it ?

Please help in understanding the difference in concept between the two.

Thank you
