2.1.4
Error rate
Errors detected during initialization and replaced by alternate block assignments are not included
in the error rate. Data blocks to be accessed should be distributed over the disk medium equally.
(1)
Unrecoverable error rate
Errors which cannot be recovered within 63 retries and ECC correction should not exceed 10 per
15
10
bits.
(2)
Positioning error rate
Positioning errors which can be recovered by one retry should be 10 or less per 10

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
MTBF of the IDD during its life time is 1,000,000 hours (operating: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
average DE surface temperature: 40°C or less).
Note:
The MTBF is defined as:
MTBF =
*1
Failure of the equipment means failure that requires repair, adjustments, or replacement.
Mishandling by the operator, failures due to bad environmental conditions, power trouble, host
system trouble, cable failures, or other failures not caused by the equipment are not considered.
