General performance characteristics

 

Sustained transfer rate

79 to 112 Mbytes/sec

Fibre Channel Interface maximum instantaneous transfer rate

400 Mbytes/sec* per port

 

 

(dual port = 800 Mbytes/sec*)

Logical block sizes

 

- 512 (default)

 

- 520

 

 

- 524

Read/write consecutive sectors on a track

Yes

Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time

Negligible

using the spare sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.)

 

Average rotational latency

2.0 msec

*Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logical block transfer to or from the host.

4.3Start/stop time

The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied.

If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).

If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive, the drive waits for a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1. After receiving a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1, the drive waits for a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive. After receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).

If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit and IMMED bit equal to 1 and does not receive a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive within 5 seconds, the drive fails the START STOP UNIT command.
