(1)Block address of user space

The logical data block address number is consecutively assigned to all of the data blocks in the user space starting with 0 to the first data block.

The IDD treats sector 0, track 0, cylinder 0 as the first logical data block. The data block is allocated in ascending order of addresses in the following sequence (refer to Figure 3.5):

1)Logical data blocks are assigned in ascending order of sector number in the same track.

2)Subsequent logical data blocks are assigned to sectors in every track except the last track in ascending order of track number in the same track (head). Within the same track, logical data blocks are assigned in the same way as step 1).

3)Subsequent logical data blocks are assigned to sectors in every track except the last track in ascending order of track number in the same cell. Within the same track, logical data blocks are assigned in the same way as step 1).

4)For the last track in the same cell, subsequent logical data blocks are assigned to sectors other than spare sectors in ascending order of sector number.

5)After blocks have been assigned in the same cell according to steps 1) to 4), subsequent logical data blocks are assigned in ascending order of cell number in the same way as in steps 1) to 4). Logical data blocks are assigned starting from track 0 in the next cell until the last cylinder (immediately preceding the alternate cylinder n-1 shown in Figure 3.1) of the zone except alternate cylinders in cells in the user space.

When the logical data block is allocated, some sectors (track skew and head skew) shown in Figure

3.5are provided to avoid waiting for one turn involving head and cylinder switching at the location where the track or the head is physically switched.

See Subsection 3.3.2 for defective/alternate block treatment and the logical data block allocation method in case of defective sectors exist on the disk.

(2)Alternate area

Alternate areas in the user space (spare sectors in the cell and alternate cylinders) are not included in the above logical data block addresses. Access to sectors which are allocated as an alternate block in the alternate area is made automatically by means of IDD sector slip treatment or alternate block treatment (explained in Subsection 3.3.2), so the user does not have to worry about accessing the alternate area. The user cannot access with specifying the data block on the alternate area explicitly.

MAP3735NP, MAP3367NC, 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.
