. Recovered read errors are errors which require retries for data correction.

 

 

Errors corrected by ECC on-the-fly are not considered recovered read

 

 

errors. Read on arrival is disabled to meet this specification.

.

Uncorrectable read errors are those that are not correctable using an Error

 

 

Correcting Code (ECC), or retries within the retry limits specified in the

 

 

mode pages. The drive terminates the command either when a repeating

 

 

error pattern occurs, or after both the specified number of retries and

 

 

application of triple burst error correction fail to correct the error.

3.

A seek error occurs when the actuator fails to reach or remain on the

 

 

requested cylinder, and/or the drive requires the execution of the full

 

 

calibration routine to locate/#:+/7/the requested￿07/cylinder$'4￿1(. ￿'44145
