Logical block sizes
Default is
Variable 512 to 528 bytes per sector in even number of bytes per sector. If n (number of bytes per sector) is odd, then
Read/write consecutive sectors on a track | Yes |
Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time | Negligible |
using the spare sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.) |

Overhead time for head switch in sequential mode | 0.8 msec |
| |
Overhead time for one track cylinder switch in sequential mode | 1.2 msec (typical) |
Average rotational latency | 2.99 msec |
*Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logical block transfer to or from the host.
4.3Start/stop time
If the Motor Start option is disabled, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds after DC power is applied. If a recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure and the time to become ready may exceed 30 seconds. Stop time is less than 30 seconds (maximum) from removal of DC power.
If the Motor Start option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start command has been received, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure). The Motor Start command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle.
There is no power control switch on the drive.
4.4Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides a prefetch (read
All default cache and prefetch mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive family are given in Table 15.
4.5Cache operation
Note. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.
Of the 8,192 kbytes physical buffer space in the drive, 6,877 kbytes can be used as a cache.
