1,673,624,336 63C17B10h 2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between 10K and 15K families and from generation to gener- ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
Programmable drive capacity Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Commands Reference Manual. Refer to the Parameter list block descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have.

Cache operation Note. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits. Of the 64 Mbytes physical buffer space in the drive, approximately 30,000 kbytes are available as a data cache. The remaining buffer space is reserved for internal drive use. The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer.
5.5.1 Caching write data Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command. If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail- able for future read cache hits.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all inter- face timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Read Error Rates Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data Interface error rate: Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) Annualized Failure Rate (AFR): Preventive maintenance:...
6.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
The Pass-through state is disabled while the drive performs self test of the FC interface. The control line for an external port bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state while self test is running. If the bypass circuit is present, loop operation may continue.
Reporting control Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method. For example, if the MRIE is set to one, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5D00 sense code.
DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not ready” cause. While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a failed drive.
Page 25
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions: • Motor will not spin • Motor will not lock to speed • Servo will not lock on track • Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disk In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.

General DC power requirement notes. 1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.2% of the maximum operating current shown. 2. The +5V and +12V supplies should employ separate ground returns. 3. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive power requirements should be noted.

There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.
The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.
Mechanical specifications Refer to Figure 10 for detailed physical dimensions. See Section 9.4, “Drive mounting.” 300GB models 450GB models Weight: 600GB models 900GB models Note. These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8201 and SFF-8222, found at www.sffcommittee.org. Figure 10.
SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and FC system error con- siderations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive). In addition, Seagate provides the following technologies used to increase data integrity and drive reliability: •...
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consist of 20 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re- read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts.
DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.
Information to be stored on the media, but the 8 bytes will not be transferred to the host during a read com- mand. Type 3 - Seagate products do not support Type 3. 8.8.2 Setting and determining the current Type Level A drive is initialized to a type of PI by using the format command on a PI capable drive.
8.8.3 Identifying a Protection Information drive The Standard Inquiry provides a bit to indicate if PI is support by the drive. Vital Product Descriptor (VPD) page 0x86 provides bits to indicate the PI Types supported and which PI fields the drive supports checking. Note.
Installation Savvio 10K.5 FC disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or termina- tors on the drive. Simply plug the drive into the host’s 40-pin Fibre Channel backpanel connector (FC-SCA) no cables are required. See Section 10.5 for additional information about this connector. Use the FC-AL interface to select drive ID and all option configurations for devices on the loop.
(F) is applied to the fourth point. Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Technology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
Grounding Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electri- cally isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mount- ing the drive in the host equipment.
