(5)Error correction and retry by ECC

If a recoverable error occurs, the disk drive itself attempts error recovery. The 18-byte ECC has improved buffer error correction for correctable data errors.

(6)Write cache

When the disk drive receives a write command, the disk drive posts the command completion at completion of transferring data to the data buffer completion of writing to the disk media. This feature reduces the access time at writing.

When the unrecoverable error occurs during the write operation, the command execution is stopped. Then, when the drive receives the next command, it generates an interrupt of abnormal end. However an interrupt of abnormal end is not generated when a write automatic assignment succeeds. However, since the host may issue several write commands before the drive generates an interrupt of abnormal end, the host cannot recognize that the occurred error is for which command generally. Therefore, it is very hard to retry the unrecoverable write error for the host in the write cache operation generally. So, take care to use the write cache function Page 61-2-411-8603 Reader Comment Form FUJITSU LIMITED
