Fujitsu MAV2073RC, MAV2036RC manual General Description, Standard Features

General Description

1.1Standard Features

(1)Compactness

The disk drive is a compact enclosure which complies with the 2.5" disk drive form factor.

(2)SAS Standard

The HDD is equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a host interface.

•Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps

•Number of SAS ports: One

•Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported.

SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing, regardless of the physical characteristics of the disk drive. This enables software to accommodate expansion of system functionality.

(3)Single SAS port support

The HDD has single pair of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support single SAS port connection.

On MAV2073RC and MAV2036RC, Primary Port on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus power connections) is used for SAS port connection.

(4)High-speed data transfer

The maximum data-transfer speed on the SAS is 300.0 MB/s. The large-capacity data buffer of the HDD enables the effective use of such high-speed data transfers available on the SAS connection.

(5)Continuous block processing

The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator can access data by specifying block number in a logically continuous data space without concerning the physical structure of the track or cylinder boundaries.

The continuous processing up to [64K-1] blocks in a command can be achieved, and the HDD can perform continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.

(6)Multi-segment data buffer

The data buffer is 8M bytes. Data is transferred between SAS port and disk media through this data buffer. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.
