The Post Command Processing time of .26 ms is defined as the average ti me required for process

cleanup after the command has completed. If a re-instruct period faster tha n this time is used, the

difference is added to the Command Execution Overhead of the next operation.

Data Transfer to/from Disk

The average time used to transfer the data between the media and the drive's internal data buffer.

This is calculated from:

(Data Transferred)/(Media Transfer Rate).

There are four interpretations of Media Transfer Rate. How it is to be used helps decide which

interpretation is appropriate to use.

1. Instantaneous Data Transfer Rate

The same for a given notch formatted at any of the supported logical block lengths. It varies

by notch only and does not include any overhead.

2. Track Data Sector Transfer Rate

Varies depending upon the formatted logical block length and varies from notch to notch. It

includes the overhead associated with each individual sector. This is calculated from:

(user bytes/sector)/(individual sector time)

(Contact an IBM Customer Representative for individual sector times of the various for-

matted block lengths.)

3. Theoretical Data Sector Transfer Rate

Also includes time required for track and cylinder skew and overhead associated with each

track. (See 3.3.2.1, “Theoretical Data Sector Transfer Rate” on page 43 for a description on

how to calculate it.)

4. Typical Data Sector Transfer Rates

Also includes the effects of defective sectors a nd skipped revolutions due to error recovery.

See Appendix B of the Ultrastar XP (DFHC) SSA Models Interface Specification for a

description of error recovery procedures.

Rates for drives formatted at 512 bytes/block are locatedin Table 7 on page 42.
