Format Capacity - Fujitsu MAN3367FC - Enterprise 36.7 GB Hard Drive Product/Maintenance Manual

(5) BCRC
It is a 4-byte error detection code. Errors in the ID field. Single burst errors with lengths of up to 32
bits for each logical block can be detected.
(6) ECC
This is the 60-byte code that allows detection and correction of errors in the data field, which is
capable of correcting the single burst error up to 240 bits max. on the fly.
(7) PAD
A specified length of x'00' pattern shown in Figure 3.6 is written in this field. This field includes the
variation by rotation and circuit delay till reading/writing.

Format capacity

The size of the usable area for storing user data on the IDD (format capacity) varies according to the
logical data block or the size of the spare sector area. Table 3.2 lists examples of the format capacity
when the typical logical data block length and the default spare area are used. The following is the
general formula to calculate the format capacity.
[Number of sectors of each zone] = [number of sectors per track
number of alternate spare sectors per cylinder]
[Formatted capacity] = [total of sectors of all zones] – [number of sectors per track in last zone
number of tracks (heads)
block] [logical data block length]
The following formula must be used when the number of logical data blocks are specified with the
parameter in the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command.
[Format capacity] = [logical data block length]
The logical data block length, the maximum logical block address, and the number of the logical data
blocks can be read out by a READ CAPACITY, MODE SENSE, or MODE SENSE EXTENDED
command after initializing the disk medium.
