5.2Seek performance characteristics

See Section 12.4.1, "SAS physical interface" on page 61 and the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) for additional timing details.

5.2.1Access time

			Including controller overhead1,2 (ms)		Not including controller overhead1,2 (ms)
			Read	Write	Read	Write

	Average	600GB	4.0	4.6	3.8	4.4
	Single track	600GB	0.50	0.76	0.30	0.56
	Single track	Typical3,4	0.50	0.76	0.30	0.56
	Full stroke		8.01	8.38	7.81	8.18
	Average	450GB	4.0	4.6	3.8	4.4
	Single track	450GB	0.50	0.76	0.30	0.56
	Single track	Typical3,4	0.50	0.76	0.30	0.56
	Full stroke		7.96	8.51	7.76	8.31

1.Execution time measured from receipt of the Command to the Response.

2.Assumes no errors and no sector has been relocated.

3.Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal orientation as measured on a representative sample of drives.

4.Access time = controller overhead + average seek time and applies to all data transfer commands. Access to data = access time + latency time.
