Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F _____________________________________________________________________________________ Start/stop time After DC power has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds (15 seconds typical) if the Motor Start Option is disabled (i.e. the motor starts as soon as the power has been applied). During this time the drive responds to some commands over the SCSI interface* in less than 3 seconds.
Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F _____________________________________________________________________________________ Case B - A Read command requests data, the first LB of which is not in any segment of the cache: 1. The drive fetches the requested LB’s from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and from there to the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification referred to in case A.
Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F _____________________________________________________________________________________ Caching write data Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored in one or more segments while the drive performs the write command. Write caching is enabled along with read caching.
Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F _____________________________________________________________________________________ Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, and environmental requirements. Seek Errors Less than 1 in 10 seeks Read Error Rates [1] Unrecovered Data...
Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F _____________________________________________________________________________________ 6.1.3 Write errors Write errors can occur as a result of media defects, environmental interference, or equipment malfunction. Therefore, write errors are not predictable as a function of the number of bits passed. If an unrecoverable write error occurs because of an equipment malfunction in the drive, the error is classified as a failure affecting MTBF.
6.2.7 Product warranty Beginning on the date of shipment to customer and continuing for a period of five years, Seagate warrants that each product (including components and subassemblies) or spare part that fails to function properly under normal use due to defect in materials on workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replaced, at Seagate’s option and at no charge to customer, if returned by...
