Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B Scope This manual describes the Seagate Technology®, Inc. Barracuda 4XL™ disc drives. Barracuda 4XL drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 (Fast-20) interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Inter- face Product Manual (part number 77738479) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives.
Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4. Standards Barracuda 4XL family drives comply with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this man- ual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual , part number 77738479 (Vol. 2).
(volume 1), which defines the product performance char- acteristics of the Barracuda 4XL family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part num- ber 77738479, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives.
Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B Barracuda 4XL drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns. A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.
Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B Standard features The Barracuda 4XL family has the following standard features: • Integrated SCSI controller • Single-ended and differential SCSI drivers and receivers • 8 bit and 16 bit I/O data bus models available •...
Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B Unformatted and formatted capacities Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocation sectors reserved and the number of bytes per sector. The following table shows the standard OEM model read capacity data. Total LBAs = read capacity data shown below + 1.

Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B Notes for Section 4.2. Execution time is 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). Maximum times are specified over the worst case conditions of temperature, voltage margins and drive orientation.
Barracuda 4XL Product Manual, Rev. B “miss”, all data transfers to the host are in accordance with “buffer-full” ratio rules. On a cache “hit” the drive ignores the “buffer-full” ratio rules. See explanations associated with Mode page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in the SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 77738479). The following is a simplified description of a read operation with cache operation enabled: Case A - A Read command is received and the first logical block (LB) is already in cache: 1.
