9.5.2.5Receiver characteristics

The drive receiver is A.C. coupled. The receive network terminates the TxRx connection by a 100 ohm equiva- lent impedance as specified in table 23.

The receiver operates within a BER of 10-12when a SAS signal with valid voltage and timing characteristics is delivered to the compliance point from a 100 ohm source. The received SAS signal are considered valid if it meets the voltage and timing limits specified in table 20.

Additionally the receiver operates within the BER objective when the signal at a receiving phy has the addi- tional sinusoidal jitter present that is specified in table 22 and the common mode signal VCM over frequency range FCM as specified in table 18. The jitter tolerance is shown in Figure 22 for all Rx compliance points in a TxRx connection. The figure given assumes that any external interference occurs prior to the point at which the test is applied. When testing the jitter tolerance capability of a receiver, the additional 0.1 UI of sinusoidal jitter may be reduced by an amount proportional to the actual externally induced interference between the applica- tion point of the test and the input to the receiving phy. The additional jitter reduces the eye opening in both voltage and time.

ST3300555SS, ST3146755SS, ST373355SS specifications

The Seagate ST373355SS, ST3146755SS, and ST3300555SS represent a range of high-performance hard drives designed for enterprise applications, particularly in server environments requiring reliability, speed, and high capacity.

The ST373355SS is a 73.5 GB SCSI hard drive operating at 15,000 RPM, which ensures rapid data access and superior performance, making it ideal for transactional applications and data-intensive tasks. With its 4 MB cache, the drive leverages fast read and write speeds, enhancing overall system responsiveness. The SCSI interface, operating at 80 MB/s, allows for high-speed data transfers, making it a suitable choice for demanding environments where quick access to information is critical. Its hot-swappable feature enables maintenance without shutting down the system, maximizing uptime and productivity.

The ST3146755SS, with a capacity of 146.8 GB, builds on the performance of its predecessor while introducing improvements in data handling and reliability. Operating at the same impressive 15,000 RPM, this model also features a 16 MB cache that greatly improves data throughput and access speed. The drive is designed to reduce latency, which is crucial for applications where timing is everything. It is equipped with advanced error recovery features and Seagate’s innovative PowerTrim technology, which improves power efficiency during read and write operations. The ST3146755SS also features a higher mean time between failures (MTBF), underscoring its reliability in high-demand environments.

Lastly, the ST3300555SS offers even greater capacity with 300 GB. This drive maintains the 15,000 RPM rotation speed and benefits from a 16 MB cache, providing a balance of speed and storage capacity. Its advanced SCSI interface supports not just speed but also data integrity, ensuring consistent performance during extensive data transfers. The drive is designed to handle workloads naturally associated with enterprise servers, data warehouses, and video editing applications. Its rugged build supports continuous operation and is tested for high-temperature environments to ensure durability.

In summary, the Seagate ST373355SS, ST3146755SS, and ST3300555SS hard drives are engineered for enterprise environments, combining impressive RPM speeds, significant storage capacities, and advanced technologies to deliver reliability, performance, and efficiency for critical applications. These hard drives represent Seagate's commitment to providing solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern data environments.
