4.1.1
Format command execution time
Maximum (with verify)
Maximum (without verify)
Execution time measured from receipt of the last byte of the Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to the request for a Status Byte Transfer to the
Initiator (excluding connect/disconnect).
When changing sector sizes, the format times shown above may need to be increased by 30 minutes.
4.1.2
General performance characteristics
Minimum sector interleave
Maximum Internal data rate*
Sustained transfer rate
SAS Interface maximum instantaneous transfer rate
Logical block sizes
4096
Read/write consecutive sectors on a track
Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time using the spare
sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.)
Average rotational latency
*Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logical block transfer to or from the host.
** MiB/s x 1.048 = MB/s
