6.4 Read-ahead Cache

6.4.2 Caching operation

The caching operation is performed only when the commands listed below are received. If any of the following data are stored on the data buffer, the data is sent to the host system.

•

•

All of the sector data that this command processes.

A part of the sector data including the start sector, that this command processes.

If part of the data to be processed is stored on the data buffer, the remaining data is read from disk media and sent to the host system.

(1) Commands that are targets of caching

The commands that are targets of caching are as follows:

•

•

•

•

•

•

READ SECTOR(s)

READ MULTIPLE

READ DMA

READ SECTOR(s) EXT

READ DMA EXT

READ MULTIPLE EXT

However, if the caching function is prohibited by the SET FEATURES command, the caching operation is not performed.

(2) Data that is a target of caching

The data that is a target of caching are as follows:

1)Read-ahead data that is read from disk media and saved to the data buffer upon completion of execution of a command that is a target of caching.

2)Pre-read data that is read from disk media and saved to the data buffer before execution of a command that is a target of caching.

3)Data required by a command that is a target of caching and has been sent to the host system one. If the sector data requested by the host has not been completely stored in the read cache portion of the buffer, this data does not become a target of caching. Also, if sequential hits occur continuously, the caching-target data required by the host becomes invalid because that data is overwrited by new data.

(3)Invalidating caching-target data

Data that is a target of caching on the data buffer is invalidated under the following conditions:

MHV2040AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2060AH, MHV2100AH specifications

The Fujitsu MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH, are renowned for their reliability and performance in the mobile HDD segment. Designed primarily for use in laptops and other portable devices, these drives integrate cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of today's data-intensive applications.

One of the hallmark features of the MHV series is its high data density, allowing for substantial storage capabilities in compact sizes. The MHV2060AH offers a storage capacity of 60 GB, while the MHV2080AH and MHV2100AH offer 80 GB and 100 GB respectively. The MHV2040AH provides a slightly more modest but still robust 40 GB of storage. This range of capacities ensures that users can select the model that best fits their storage needs.

The drives utilize the latest perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which enhances recording efficiency and increases data storage densities. This technology significantly optimizes the use of disk surface area, providing better performance and more reliable data access. Additionally, the MHV series incorporates an advanced actuator system that ensures precision head positioning, enhancing data integrity and reducing error rates during read and write operations.

In terms of performance, the MHV series maintains a revolutions per minute (RPM) rating of 5400, which strikes a balance between speed and energy efficiency, making these drives suitable for low-power applications. The drives are also designed with a low acoustic level, generating minimal noise during operation—a crucial factor for mobile users who prefer quieter devices.

Furthermore, the Fujitsu MHV series features a robust shock resistance design, allowing them to withstand the rigors of mobile computing. This makes them suitable for use in portable environments subject to vibration and physical movement, thus ensuring data security and drive longevity.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH represent a formidable selection of mobile hard disk drives filled with advanced technologies and features, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications in today's fast-paced digital world.
