Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for improving detection of a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (“SATA”) target device by a storage initiator over a link. The storage initiator receives a Frame Information Structure (“FIS”) and determines whether the FIS is valid. In direct response to a determination that the FIS is invalid, the storage initiator immediately resets the link to the SATA target device.
