Cheetah 18LP Product Manual, Rev. F table of logical block disk medium addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If cache opera- tion is enabled (RCD bit = 0 in Mode Page 08h, byte 2, bit 0. See the appropriate SCSI Interface Product Man- ual), data requested by the host with a Read command is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access is initiated.
Cheetah 18LP Product Manual, Rev. F while writing the data to the medium, and GOOD status has already been returned, a deferred error will be generated. The Synchronize Cache command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium. Upon completion of a Synchronize Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have been written to the medium.

Cheetah 18LP Product Manual, Rev. F Drive orientation The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive perfor- mance characterization, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations.
(F) is applied to the fourth point. Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Tech- nology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be considered by designers when designing a system in which this family of drives can properly operate. Seagate declares that the drives operate in accordance with the appropriate ANSI Standards referenced in various places herein, with exceptions as noted herein or in the appropriate Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual (P/N 77738479 for ST318203 and ST39103 drives and P/N 75789509 for ST318233 and ST39133 drives).
