O E M FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION ULTRASTAR XP (DFHC) SSA MODELS 1.12/2.25 GB - 1.0" H I G H
6.0 Reliability
Note: The reliability projections are based on the conditions stated below. All of the SSA models will meet
the projections as long as reliability operating conditions are not exceeded.
6.1 Error Detection
Error reporting
99%
Error detection
99%
FRU isolation = 100%
6.2 Data Reliability
Probability of not recovering data
Recoverable read errors
Probability of miscorrecting unrecoverable data
Note: Eighteen bytes of ECC and two bytes of L R C are provided for each data block.
6.3 Seek Error Rate
The drives are designed to have less than 10 errors in 10,000,000 seeks. In the field, a seek error rate of 40 in
100, 000 seeks will trip PFA (Predictive Failure Analysis) error.
The drives are designed to achieve Soft Seek Error rate of 1 error in 100,000,000 seeks.
6.4 Power On Hours Examples:
Maximum power on hours (with minimum power on/off cycles)
Nominal power on hours (with nominal power on/off cycles)
