9.3.2Mode Sense data

The Mode Sense command provides a way for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator. The drive maintains four sets of mode parameters:

1.Default values

Default values are hard-coded in the drive firmware stored in flash E-PROM (nonvolatile memory) on the drive’s PCB. These default values can be changed only by downloading a complete set of new firmware into the flash E-PROM. An initiator can request and receive from the drive a list of default values and use those in a Mode Select command to set up new current and saved values, where the values are change- able.

2.Saved values

Saved values are stored on the drive’s media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are allowed to be changed can be changed by this method. Parameters in the saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from default values storage.

When power is applied to the drive, it takes saved values from the media and stores them as current val- ues in volatile memory. It is not possible to change the current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select command before the drive achieves operating speed and is “ready.” An attempt to do so results in a “Check Condition” status.

On drives requiring unique saved values, the required unique saved values are stored into the saved val- ues storage location on the media prior to shipping the drive. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique default values also.

It employs Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface technology, which ensures high data transfer rates and reliable connectivity. This model is designed to handle a multitude of demanding applications, such as online transaction processing and enterprise resource planning, requiring fast access to data and minimized latency.

The ST3300656FC, with a capacity of 300GB, continues the trend of high performance set by its predecessor. This drive also features the 10,000 RPM spindle speed and SAS interface, providing enhanced data throughput and optimized performance for intensive workloads. The drive is built with advanced error recovery features that enhance data integrity and reliability, making it suitable for critical applications where data loss is unacceptable.

The ST3450856FC offers even greater capacity, with a robust 450GB storage option. Like the other models, it operates at 10,000 RPM and utilizes the SAS interface. This drive is designed for scalability, ensuring that it can meet the evolving storage demands of enterprises. It is also equipped with sophisticated technologies such as Seagate's Enhanced S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), providing continual monitoring of the drive’s health and performance metrics.

All three models share key characteristics, including advanced thermal and power management technologies that help maintain optimal operating temperatures and reduce energy consumption. This is crucial in data center environments where maximizing efficiency is vital for operational cost management. Additionally, Seagate's commitment to low acoustic noise levels ensures quieter operation, which is beneficial in environments where sound levels must be controlled.

In summary, the Seagate ST3146356FC, ST3300656FC, and ST3450856FC drives are engineered for enterprise environments demanding high reliability, speed, and capacity. Their advanced technologies, including SAS interface and enhanced error management systems, make these drives ideal for critical applications in data-intensive sectors. With reinforced durability, effectiveness in managing large volumes of data, and a focus on energy efficiency, these drives symbolize the pinnacle of Seagate's storage innovations for enterprise solutions.
