The HDD does not reply to the SCSI bus for up to 2 seconds after the initial self-diagnostics is started. After that, the HDD can accept the I/O operation request correctly, but the received command, except the executable commands under the not ready state (such as INQUIRY, START/STOP UNIT), is terminated with the CHECK CONDITION status (NOT READY [=2]/logical unit is in process of becoming ready [=04-01] or logical unit not ready, initializing command required [=04-02]) during the interval from the spindle motor becomes stable to the HDD becomes ready. The executable command under the not ready state is executed in parallel with the initial self-diagnostics, or is queued by the command queuing feature and is executed after completion of the initial self-diagnostics. When the command that comes under the exception condition of the command queuing is issued at that time, the HDD posts the BUSY status for the command. When the error is detected during the initial self-diagnostics, the CHECK CONDITION status is posted for all commands that were stacked during the initial self- diagnostics. For the command execution condition, refer to Section 1.4 “Command Queuing Function” and Subsection 1.7.4 “Command processing in the not ready state” of the SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.

(2)Online self-diagnostics (SEND DIAGNOSTIC command)

The initiator can make the HDD execute self-diagnostics by issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.

The initiator specifies the execution of self-diagnostics by setting 1 for the SelfTest bit on the CDB in the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and specifies the test contents with the UnitOfl bit.

When the UnitOfl bit on the CDB is set to 0, the HDD executes the hardware function test only once. When UnitOfl bit is set to 1, the HDD executes the hardware function test, seek (positioning) test, and data write/read test for the Internal test space only once.

a.Error recovery during self-diagnostics

During the self-diagnostics specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, when the recoverable error is detected during the seek or the write/read test, the HDD performs the error recovery according to the MODE SELECT parameter value (read/write error recovery parameter, additional error recovery parameter) which the initiator specifies at the time of issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.

PER

Operation of self-diagnostics

0The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. The self- diagnostics terminates normally so far as the unrecoverable error is not detected.

1The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. If the unrecoverable error is not detected, the consecutive tests are executed till last test but the self-diagnostics terminates with error. The error information indicates that of the last recovered error.

MAW3147NC/NP, MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu has established itself as a key player in the world of hard disk drives, and their MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP models showcase exemplary engineering and innovative technology. These drives are designed primarily for enterprise applications, providing robust performance, reliability, and data integrity in demanding environments.

One of the standout features of the Fujitsu MAW series is its high storage capacity. The MAW3073NC/NP model comes with a generous 73 GB capacity, while the MAW3300NC/NP boasts 300 GB, and the MAW3147NC/NP offers 147 GB of storage. This range makes them suitable for various applications, from databases to data-intensive software.

The drives utilize the latest Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which ensures high speed and efficiency in data transfer. SAS technology provides better bandwidth and performance compared to older parallel SCSI interfaces, enabling faster access to data and improved overall system responsiveness. With rotational speeds of 10,000 RPM, these drives further enhance performance, enabling faster read and write times, which is critical for enterprise applications that require quick data retrieval.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Fujitsu MAW series is their advanced error recovery and data integrity features. The drives are equipped with sophisticated error correction mechanisms and management systems that help maintain data integrity, ensuring that the data remains intact even in the event of power loss or system failure. This reliability is paramount for enterprise environments where data loss can result in significant operational disruptions.

In terms of physical design, these drives are built to endure the rigors of high-demand environments. They feature a robust construction that allows for efficient heat dissipation, minimizing the risks associated with overheating. Additionally, their form factor is designed for easy integration into various server and storage systems, making them versatile solutions for IT infrastructure.

Fujitsu's commitment to sustainability is also evident in the MAW series with their energy-efficient operation and reduced power consumption, contributing to decreased overall operational costs. With a combination of high performance, reliability, and sustainability, the Fujitsu MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP hard drives stand out as formidable choices for organizations looking to optimize their data storage solutions. They embody the cutting-edge technology and quality that Fujitsu is known for in the enterprise storage market.
