The LF 8600 supports a maximum sustained read and write transfer rate of 6.0 MBytes/sec without data verification. The drive will also support a 2.4 MBytes/sec write transfer rate with error correction and defect management to maintain data integrity and manage media flaws.

The LF 8600 implements the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) via standard SCSI-2 micro- connectors located on the rear panel. Single-ended and differential interface options are available, and the interface can be changed in the field. Both the single-ended and differential controllers support asynchronous or synchronous data transfer operations.

Preventive maintenance for the LF 8600 is minimal (refer to Operator Maintenance section of this manual). Corrective maintenance is simplified by internal diagnostic firmware which detects, isolates and reports malfunctions to the operator and identifies the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).

LM 8000 media is interchangeable between the LD 8100, LF 8120, LF 8600, and the LF 8602. The

LF 8600 can also read LM 6000 and LM 4000 media. Contact Plasmon LMS for availability and ordering information for the LM 4000 media option.
