(*4) At power-off state after installation

Vibration displacement should be less than 2.5 mm.

(*5) Input voltages are specified at the drive connector side, during drive ready state.

(*6) The terminator power pin (SCSI connector) which supplies power to other terminators is not used (See Section 4.3).

(*7) High frequency noise (over 20 MHz) is less than 100 mVp-p.

2.1.4Error rate

Errors detected during initialization and replaced by alternate block assignments are not included in the error rate. Data blocks to be accessed should be distributed over the disk medium equally.

(1)Unrecoverable error rate

Errors which cannot be recovered within 63 retries and ECC correction should not exceed 1 per 1015 bits.

CAUTION

Data loss

For MAS series, Reed Solomon codes are applied for their ECC. The sector-data is divided into 4 interleaving sectors, and ECC is performed in each sector where the maximum number of errors (up to 5 byte) can be corrected. [Total maximum byte: 5 byte 4 ( interleave) = 20 byte]

If the error of read sector keeps allowable error byte number, correction is performed. However, if error byte exceeds its allowable number, correction may not be performed properly.

(2)Positioning error rate

Positioning errors which can be recovered by one retry should be 10 or less per 108 seeks.

2.1.5Reliability

(1)Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

MTBF of the IDD during its life time is 1,2000,000 hours (operating: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week

average DE surface temperature: 50°C or less).

Note:

The MTBF is defined as:

Operating time (hours) at all field sites

MTBF=

The number of equipment failures from all field sites

MAS3367NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, MAS3735NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu's MAS series hard drives, including the MAS3735NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, and MAS3367NC/NP, are designed for enterprise applications requiring high performance, reliability, and efficiency. These drives are notable for their ability to manage extensive workloads, making them ideal for demanding server and storage environments.

The MAS3735NC/NP is a 3.5-inch hard drive that operates at 15,000 RPM, providing exceptional data access speeds. With a storage capacity of up to 300GB, this model is optimized for high transaction applications, such as databases and email servers. Its advanced 16 MB buffer ensures that data is managed smoothly, significantly reducing latency and improving overall system performance. The drive employs SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface technology, which enhances data transfer rates and provides better reliability compared to traditional SATA interfaces.

The MAS3184NC/NP model features a generous 146GB storage capacity, operating at a slightly lower peak performance of 10,000 RPM. However, it still provides substantial speed and reliability for various server applications. The advanced features of this drive include enhanced error recovery, which minimizes the risk of data corruption, as well as a power-saving mode that reduces energy consumption without compromising performance.

Next in the series, the MAS3367NC/NP offers a combination of capacity and speed. With up to 300GB of storage and also spinning at 15,000 RPM, it matches the performance levels of the MAS3735. This drive utilizes dual-port 6Gb/s SAS technology, which not only boosts data transfer rates but also adds redundancy, thus ensuring continuous availability for mission-critical applications.

All models in this range are designed with advanced technologies such as S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which helps monitor the drive's health and predict potential failures before they occur. Additionally, these drives are built to meet rigorous environmental and physical standards, ensuring durability and longevity in various applications.

In summary, Fujitsu’s MAS3735NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, and MAS3367NC/NP hard drives showcase a perfect blend of speed, capacity, and reliability, solidifying their position as leading choices for enterprise-level storage solutions. With their advanced technologies and features, these drives are tailored for environments where performance and reliability are non-negotiable requirements.
