The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If the cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual), data requested by the host with a read command is retrieved from the buffer, if possible, before any disc access is initiated.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceed the size of the segment being written into, when the end of the segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that was written there at the beginning of the operation;...

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 Service life Preventive maintenance Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.
5.1.2 Unrecoverable errors Unrecoverable Data Errors (Sense Key = 03h) are specified at less than 1 sector in error per 10 ferred. Unrecoverable Data Errors resulting from the same cause are treated are 1 error for that block. 5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track.
5.2.3 Hot plugging the drive Inserting and removing the drive on the FC-AL will interrupt loop operation. The interruption occurs when the receiver of the next device in the loop must synchronize to a different input signal. FC error detection mecha- nisms, character sync, running disparity, word sync, and CRC are able to detect any error.
Performance impact S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the disc so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recre- ated. The drive measures and saves parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the FC-AL bus.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. Cheetah 10K.7 36GB FC Product Manual, Rev. A...

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.
5.2.7 Product warranty Beginning on the date of shipment to the customer and continuing for a period of five years, Seagate warrants that each product (including components and subassemblies) that fails to function properly under normal use due to defect in materials or workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replaced, at Seagate’s option and at no charge to the customer, if returned by customer at cus-...

Shipping When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep your original box. Seagate approved containers are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty. Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in tran- sit.
DC power requirements The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown below. Values indicated apply at the drive connector. Table 11: DC power requirements ST336807FC Voltage Regulation Avg idle current DC Maximum starting current (peak DC) DC...
See paragraph 6.2.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and transient response. Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads at 254 I/Os per second. Current and power specified at nominal voltages. Decreasing +5 volt supply by 5% increases 5 volt cur- rent by <0.5%.
Figures 2 and 3 identify the drive current profiles. The current during the various times is as shown: Note: All times and currents are typical. See Table 11 for maximum current requiremST336807FC Figure 2. Typical ST336807FC drive, 2 Gbit, +12V current profile Figure 3. Typical ST336807FC drive, 2 Gbit, +5V current profile...

Non-operating –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive. HDA Temp.
>600 cu in (>9,800 cu cm) Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or equivalent.
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%.
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.
Figure 7. Mounting configuration dimensions Notes: Mounting holes are 6-32 UNC 2B, three on each side and four on the bottom. Max screw penetration into side of drive is 0.15 in. (3.81 mm). Max screw tightening torque is 6.0 in-lb (3.32 nm) with minimum full thread engagement of 0.12 in.
Defect and error management The drive, as delivered, complies with this product manual. The read error rates and specified storage capaci- ties are not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator). Defect and error management in the SCSI protocol involves the drive internal defect/error management and FC-AL system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).

Table 12 equates the read and write retry count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write recovery of individual LBAs. The times given do not include time taken to perform reallocations. Reallocations are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the RC bit is zero, and the recov- ery time limit for the command has not yet been met.
FC-AL system errors Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. The FCP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive. Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual.
