6 SCSI Interface
6.1Summary of SCSI Controller
The Ultrastar 10K300 SCSI controller interfaces between the drive and the host computer with the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).
(1)ANSI standard
The controller supports the SCSI interface that conforms to the ANSI specifications shown in section 2.
(2)Compact design
The controller is embedded within the disk drive.
(3)Fast data transfer rate
The controller can transfer data via asynchronous mode,
The controller can transfer data via Ultra2
(4)FIFO buffer
The Ultrastar 10K300 SCSI controller has 8M bytes of FIFO buffer. This data buffering feature prevents the SCSI controller from delay during the reconnect process and reduces the latency time that is generated by the difference of the data transfer rate between media and host.
(5)Automatic error retry
The controller automatically retries whenever the disk drive encounters errors.
(6)Automatic error corrections
The controller uses
(7)Parameter save feature
The controller saves the controller/device parameters (MODE SELECT parameters) specified by the host onto the disk drive. The parameters are automatically restored at
