(4)Service life

In situations where management and handling are correct, the disk drive requires no overhaul for five years when the DE surface temperature is less than 48°C. When the DE surface temperature exceeds 48°C, the disk drives requires no overhaul for five years or 20,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Refer to item (3) in Subsection 3.2 for the measurement point of the DE surface temperature.

(5)Data assurance in the event of power failure

Except for the data block being written to, the data on the disk media is assured in the event of any power supply abnormalities. This does not include power supply abnormalities during disk media initialization (formatting) or processing of defects (alternative block assignment).

1.8Error Rate

Known defects, for which alternative blocks can be assigned, are not included in the error rate count below. It is assumed that the data blocks to be accessed are evenly distributed on the disk media.

(1)Unrecoverable read error

Read errors that cannot be recovered by read retries without user's retry and ECC corrections shall occur no more than 10 times when reading data of 1015 bits. Read retries are executed according to the disk drive's error recovery procedure, and include read retries accompanying head offset operations.

(2)Positioning error

Positioning (seek) errors that can be recovered by one retry shall occur no more than 10 times in 107 seek operations.

1.9Media Defects

Defective sectors are replaced with alternates when the disk is formatted prior to shipment from the factory (low level format). Thus, the host sees a defect-free device.

Alternate sectors are automatically accessed by the disk drive. The user need not be concerned with access to alternate sectors.

Chapter 6 describes the low level format at shipping.

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.
