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.

ST3146855FC, ST373455FC, ST3300655FC specifications

Seagate is renowned for its commitment to high-performance data storage solutions, and their range of enterprise drives, including the ST3300655FC, ST373455FC, and ST3146855FC, demonstrates this dedication. These models cater to businesses requiring robust, reliable, and efficient hard disk drives (HDDs) designed for demanding environments.

The ST3300655FC offers a capacity of 300 GB, making it suitable for a variety of enterprise applications. It utilizes a 15,000 RPM spindle speed, which significantly enhances its performance, delivering quick read and write times. This drive supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, ensuring faster data transfer rates and reliability essential for critical computing environments. The dual-port connectivity of SAS allows for enhanced fault tolerance and redundancy, making the ST3300655FC ideal for data centers and enterprise storage systems.

Following closely, the ST373455FC provides a slightly larger capacity of 734 GB while maintaining the same 15,000 RPM speed. This drive's design focuses on high availability, making it an excellent choice for applications that require continuous uptime. Like its counterpart, it also benefits from the SAS interface, ensuring that data can be accessed quickly and reliably. The robust construction of the ST373455FC guarantees consistent performance under heavy workloads, an essential characteristic for enterprise use.

The ST3146855FC, with a capacity of 146 GB, offers a balance between speed and storage for enterprises that do not require the larger capacities provided by the other two models. It also operates at 15,000 RPM, benefiting from similar technological advancements as the ST3300655FC and ST373455FC. This drive maintains compatibility with existing systems, making it a versatile option for organizations looking to upgrade their storage solutions without overhauling their infrastructure.

All three models exhibit Seagate's commitment to durability and low power consumption, which is critical for reducing operational costs in data centers. They also feature advanced error recovery and data integrity technologies, ensuring that critical data remains intact and accessible. Enhanced thermal and vibration tolerance further extends the lifespan of these drives in challenging environments.

In summary, the Seagate ST3300655FC, ST373455FC, and ST3146855FC are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise environments. Their high spindle speeds, SAS connectivity, and robust designs make them exemplary choices for businesses seeking reliable and efficient storage solutions. Their distinctive features and technologies ensure that they deliver outstanding performance, data integrity, and durability, making them invaluable assets in any data-driven organization.
