11.18.7 Streaming Performance log
Table 112 defines the format of the log returned by the Read Log Ext command, when the LBA Low register is
20h. This data set is referred to as the Streaming Performance Parameters log, the length of which (in sectors)
is statically indicated in Read Log Ext log address 00h (Log Directory).

is statically indicated in Read Log Ext log address 00h (Log Directory).
The host should base its calculations on the larger of its Typical Host Interface Sector Time and the device
reported Sector Time values, and on the sum of the device reported Access Time values and any additional
latency that only the host is aware of (e.g. host command overhead, etc.).
