(9)Reserve and release functions

The IDD can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the reserve and release functions.

(10)Error recovery

The IDD can try to recover from errors in SCSI bus or the disk drive using its powerful retry processing. If a recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing by these error recovery functions of the IDD.

(11)Automatic alternate block reassignment

If a defective data block is detected during read or write the IDD can automatically reassign its alternate data block.

(12)Programmable data block length

Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and can be specified at initializing with a multiple of four within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.

CAUTION

Error rate increase

1.The drive format is generally 512 bytes at factory shipment.

2.The recoverable Error of the drive might increase when the format would be modified from 512 bytes to the following values: 516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes.

3.The recoverable Error refered here is sense data (1-13-xx).

(13)Defective block slipping

A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data block at formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a revolution delay due to defective data block.

(14)High speed positioning

A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning.

MAP3735NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, MAP3147NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu's MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives represent a robust solution for businesses seeking reliable data storage options. These models are part of Fujitsu’s extensive line of high-performance hard drives that cater to various organizational needs, from servers to high-capacity data storage systems.

One of the standout features of these hard drives is their speed. The MAP3147NC/NP operates at a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, ensuring rapid data access and retrieval. This speed is essential for environments requiring quick data transactions, making it suitable for enterprise-level databases and high-performance computing applications.

The capacity range across these models is designed to meet varying storage requirements. The MAP3147NC offers 147 GB, while the MAP3367NC provides 67 GB, and the MAP3735NC boasts a generous capacity of 35 GB. This diversity allows organizations to select the drive that best fits their data storage and performance needs while maintaining a scalable storage solution.

In terms of technology, the drives incorporate advanced features such as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which enhances data throughput and reliability compared to traditional Parallel SCSI interfaces. SAS technology enables these drives to support multiple device connections while ensuring high-performance throughput, essential for modern enterprise environments.

The drives employ a 64 MB cache, providing a significant performance boost by allowing for quicker access to frequently used data. This capability improves overall system responsiveness, especially in applications requiring high input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Moreover, the MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP series are designed with data integrity in mind. They include features such as Error Correction Code (ECC) and background error scanning, which work together to maintain the integrity of stored data and minimize the risk of data loss.

In conclusion, Fujitsu’s MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives provide a blend of performance, capacity, and reliability. With their fast spindle speeds, robust data throughput via SAS technology, and enhanced cache memory, these drives are ideal for enterprises requiring durable and efficient data storage solutions in high-demand environments. As organization needs evolve, these drives offer scalability and reliability to support diverse applications and workloads.
