Glossary

DE

Disk enclosure. The DE includes the disks, built-in spindle motor, actuator, heads, and air filter. The DE is sealed to protect these components from dust.

Host receptacle

Host receptacle is a connector type on the host system that the signal segment of Serial-ATA unifies with the power supply segment.

Master (Device 0)

The master is the first drive that can operate on the AT bus. The master is daisy- chained with the second drive which can operate in conformity with the ATA standard.

MTBF

Mean time between failures. The MTBF is calculated by dividing the total operation time (total power-on time) by the number of failures in the disk drive during operation.

MTTR

Mean time to repair. The MTTR is the average time required for a service person to diagnose and repair a faulty drive.

PIO (Programmed input-output)

Mode to transfer data under control of the host CPU

Positioning

Sum of the seek time and mean rotational delay

Power save mode

The power save modes are idle mode, standby mode, and sleep mode.

In idle mode, the drive is neither reading, writing, nor seeking data. In standby mode, the spindle motor is stopped and circuits other than the interface control circuit are sleeping. The drive enters sleep mode when the host issues the SLEEP command.

Reserved

Reserved bits, bytes, and fields are set to zero and unusable because they are reserved for future standards.
