    At present, the permissible limits on the use of certain materials specified by the RoHS directive have not been determined. In such cases, we are using the original criteria set by Fujitsu Limited while referring to the restrictions already established by End-of-Life (ELV) Directive or by the national environmental laws of the EU member nations.
  • Page 18 General Description SAS Standard The HDDs are equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a host interface. • Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps • Number of SAS ports: Two • Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported. SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing, regardless of the physical characteristics of the disk drive.
  • Page 19 1.1 Standard Features When Write Cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cached data is surely flushed to the disk media before you turn off the drive's power. To ensure it, you should issue either the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command or the STOP UNIT command with specifying “0” to the Immediate bit, and then confirm that the command is surely terminated with the GOOD STATUS.
  • Page 20 General Description (14) Defective block slipping A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data block at formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a revolution delay due to defective data block. (15) High speed positioning A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning with high performance access control.

  • Page 32: Alternate Spare Area

    Data Format 3.1.2 Alternate spare area The alternate spare area consists of the last track of each cell in the user space and an alternate cylinder allocated to the last cylinder of each zone. The spare area in each cell is placed at the end of the last track as shown in Figure 3.2. These spare sectors are located in the end of the track logically, not necessarily located at the end physically because of track skew or cylinder skew.
  • Page 33: Track Format

    3.1 Data Space 3.1.3 Track format Physical sector allocation Figure 3.4 shows the allocation of the physical sectors in a track. The length in bytes of each physical sector and the number of sectors per track vary depending on the logical data block length. The unused area (G4) exists at the end of the track in formats with most logical data block lengths.

Sync Mark (SM1, SM2) In this field, special pattern is written. This special pattern indicates the beginning of the data field. Data field (DATA1-DATA4) User data is stored in the data field of the sector.
  • Page 36: Format Capacity

    Data Format 3.1.5 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 3.1 lists examples of the format capacity when the typical logical data block length and the default spare area are used.
  • Page 37: 3.2 Logical Data Block Addressing

    3.2 Logical Data Block Addressing Block address of user space The logical data block address number is consecutively assigned to all of the data blocks in the user space starting with 0 to the first data block. The HDDs treat sector 0, track 0, cylinder 0 as the first logical data block. The data block is allocated in ascending order of addresses in the following sequence (refer to Figure 3.5): 1) Logical data blocks are assigned in ascending order of sector number in the same track.

    3.3 Defect Management Alternate block allocation during FORMAT UNIT command execution When the FORMAT UNIT command is specified, the allocation of the alternate block to those defective sectors included in the specified lists (P, G, or D) is continued until all spare sectors in the same cell are used up.
  • Page 40: Figure 3.8 Alternate Block Allocation By Reassign Blocks

    Data Format If above errors are detected during FORMAT UNIT command, the HDDs allocate the alternate block(s) to the defective data blocks. Reassign procedure itself is the same as one in REASSIGN BLOCKS command. Certification is permitted when DCRT flag is cleared (DCRT flag=0) in FORMAT UNIT command.
  • Page 41 3.3 Defect Management Automatic alternate block allocation • Automatic alternate block allocation at read operation If the ARRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, the HDDs automatically execute the alternate block allocation and data duplication on the defective data block detected during the READ or READ EXTENDED command.
