Page 28: Hot Plug Support
Product Features WD Scorpio MX375M Hot Plug Support SATA supports hot plugging (also known as “hot swapping”), the ability to swap out a failed hard drive without having to power down the system or reboot. This capability contributes to both data availability and serviceability without any associated downtime, making it a critical feature for extending SATA into enterprise applications. - Page 29 WD Scorpio MX375M Product Features voltage busses. This residual droop needs to be eliminated or at least reduced to a very small value because most power distribution budgets do not provide allowances for this droop. Low ESR bulk capacitors installed on the backplane voltage busses for each hot plug connector can minimize this droop.
-
Page 30: Active Led Status
Product Features WD Scorpio MX375M could also be a problem with backward compatibility. Both these issues need new specification items in drive specifications to set limits for both the disk drive designers and designers of hot plug enclosures. 3.7.1.6 Hot Plug Removal Issues Generally, removal of hot plug disk drives does not present any technical issues. -

Page 53: Glossary
WD Scorpio MX375M Glossary LOSSARY Active LED Status - WD SATA drives support external LED requirements. It provides an activity LED output which is ON during command execution and OFF otherwise. Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) - A method of measuring failure rates or trends for a group of units at a site. - Page 54 Glossary WD Scorpio MX375M Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - In PMR, the magnetization of each data bit is aligned vertically rather than longitudinally to the spinning disk. The adjacent bits attract instead of repel (as with bar magnets placed side by side), creating more thermally stable bits. PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) - A read channel using sampled data, active equalization and Veterbi detection to accurately retrieve the user data off the disk.
