At the time that the drive has stopped the command execution after the error recovery has failed, the write cache function is disabled automatically. The releasing the disable state can be done by the SET FEATURES command. When the power of the drive is turned on after the power is turned off once, the status of the write cache function returns to the default state. The default state is “write cache enable”, and can be disable by the SET FEATURES command.

The write cache function is operated with the following command.

∙WRITE SECTOR(S)

∙WRITE MULTIPLE

∙WRITE DMA

IMPORTANT

When the write cache function is enabled, the transferred data from the host by the WRITE SECTOR(S) is not completely written on the disk medium at the time that the interrupt of command complete is generated. 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.

MPE3XXXAT specifications

The Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series is a robust line of hard disk drives (HDDs) known for their reliability, performance, and advanced technology. Designed primarily for enterprise storage solutions, these drives cater to high-demand environments such as data centers, servers, and workstations. With capacities ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to several terabytes, the MPE3XXXAT series offers scalable storage options to accommodate a variety of applications.

One of the standout features of the MPE3XXXAT series is its high rotational speed. With most models operating at 7200 RPM, these drives ensure faster data access and improved read/write performance. This speed makes them ideal for applications requiring quick data retrieval, such as database management and data-intensive workloads. Furthermore, the series utilizes a Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which facilitates seamless connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of systems.

The Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series is built with advanced technologies that enhance durability and longevity. Notably, the drives incorporate advanced error correction algorithms and vibration resistance features, which are crucial for maintaining data integrity over time. This is particularly important in multi-drive environments where vibrations from one drive can affect the performance of others. The drives are also designed with low power consumption in mind, contributing to energy savings without compromising performance.

In terms of data security, the MPE3XXXAT series supports various security features that protect against unauthorized access. These include ATA security features that enable password protection and robust encryption to safeguard sensitive information from potential breaches. This aspect is particularly significant for enterprises that handle confidential data and require stringent security measures.

The operational temperature range of the MPE3XXXAT drives is optimized for demanding environments, allowing them to function effectively in a variety of conditions. Their reliability is backed by an impressive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), which signifies their resilience and the manufacturer's commitment to quality.

Overall, the Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series stands out as a reliable choice for enterprise storage needs. With its blend of high speed, capacity, durability, and security features, it addresses the challenges faced by modern data centers and businesses that require efficient data management solutions. Whether for backup, archival, or active data storage, the MPE3XXXAT series is designed to deliver consistent performance and peace of mind for users.
