Glossary

Bus condition:

Asynchronous condition for causing SCSI bus status transition. There are

 

two types of bus conditions, ATTENTION and RESET.

 

Bus phase:

An SCSI bus state. The SCSI bus is in one of the following phases: BUS

 

FREE, ARBITRATION, SELECTION, RESELECTION,

or

 

INFORMATION TRANSFER. The INFORMATION TRANSFER phase

 

is divided into DATA IN, DATA OUT, COMMAND, STATUS,

 

MESSAGE IN, and MESSAGE OUT phases depending on the type of

 

information being transferred.

 

CCS:

Common Command Set. The standard SCSI logical specification

 

stipulated by a working committee of ANSI. Functions necessary for

 

direct access devices are defined.

 

CDB:

Command Descriptor Block. A group of data that describes the command

 

for I/O and is transferred from an initiator to a target.

 

Command:

Issued to a target to direct an input/output operation and written as CDB.

Disconnect:

Operation performed by the target to free itself from the SCSI bus and the

 

initiator temporarily when SCSI bus operation becomes unnecessary

 

during command processing.

 

Initiator:

SCSI device that has initiated an input/output operation on the SCSI

 

device. This is abbreviated as INIT.

 

Logical unit:

Simple unit of equipment that can be directed to perform one I/O

 

operation on the SCSI bus.

 

LUN:

Logical unit number used to identify a logical unit.

 

Message:

Information that controls a series of bus phases and I/O sequence between

 

the initiator and the target on the SCSI bus.

 

Reconnect:

Operation performed by the target to reconnect itself with the initiator

 

when operation on the SCSI bus becomes necessary after disconnection.

 

SCSI:

Small computer system interface. An input/output interface standardized

 

by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). [Standard

 

number: ANSI X3.131-1986]

 

SCSI device:

General term for a device (Input/output device, I/O controller, and host

 

adapter, etc.) connected to an SCSI bus.

 

SCSI ID:

Physical device address used to identify an SCSI device on the SCSI bus.

 

This number is specific to each SCSI device. SCSI IDs are #0 to #7, each

 

referenced by a unique bit on the data bus.

 

Sense code:

One byte of code added to the sense data to identify the type of detected

 

error.

The Fujitsu MAG3182FC is a Fibre Channel hard drive designed for high-speed data transfer and optimal storage performance. With a capacity of 18.2 GB, it is built for applications requiring rapid access to data. The drive operates at a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, ensuring quick data retrieval and low latency. It features a 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, which allows for fast communication between the drive and the server, making it ideal for environments that demand high throughput, such as transaction processing and database management.

Next in line is the Fujitsu MAG3091FC. This model takes the capabilities of its predecessor a step further with a capacity of 9.1 GB and similar 10,000 RPM speed. The MAG3091FC is also equipped with a 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, providing the same high-performance connectivity. Its reliability is enhanced with advanced error correction and a design that minimizes the risk of data loss, making it suitable for mission-critical applications where uptime is essential.

Lastly, the Fujitsu MAF3364FC hard drive is tailored for enterprise-level operations, featuring a capacity of 36.4 GB. It utilizes a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and is built with the same 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, ensuring swift access to stored data. The MAF3364FC stands out for its improved data integrity features, including sophisticated error correction codes and a robust design that enhances durability. Its higher capacity combined with fast access times makes it a versatile choice for data-intensive applications and large-scale storage solutions.

All three drives incorporate Fujitsu's commitment to innovation, featuring technologies like S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) for predictive failure analysis. They are designed to operate in demanding environments, ensuring that businesses can rely on them for consistent performance and data protection. In summary, the Fujitsu MAG3182FC, MAG3091FC, and MAF3364FC represent a powerful collection of enterprise-grade hard drives, providing advanced features and technologies that meet the rigorous demands of modern data storage needs.
