10 Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 4.2.3 General performance characteristics ST19171FC Minimum sector interleave Data buffer to/from disc media (512-byte logical block) Data transfer rate (≤ 1 logical block), variable with zone/cylinder Sustained transfer rate (across track and cylinder boundaries) FC-AL interface data Maximum instantaneous transfer rate 1 to 1 80.0 Mbits/sec (minimum)* 124.4 Mbits/sec (maximum)* 56.0 Mbits/sec (minimum)* 88.8 Mbits/sec (maximum)* 106.
Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 11 Since data that is prefetched replaces data already in some buffer segments, the host can limit the amount of prefetch data to optimize system performance. The Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) limits the amount of prefetch. The drive does not use the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11). 4.5 Note. Cache operation Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits. Of the 1,024 Kbytes physical buffer space in the drive, 967.
12 4.5.1 Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 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 while the drive performs the Write command. Write caching is enabled independently of read caching. Write caching is disabled by default on ST19171FC drives. To enable the write cache, use the Write Caching Enable (WCE) bit.
Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 5.0 13 Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, and environmental requirements. Seek error rate: Recoverable media error rate (using OEM default settings): Unrecovered media data: Miscorrected media data: Interface error rate: MTBF: Service life: Preventive maintenance: 5.
14 Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 5.2 S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs. Note. The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation over time but can’t predict instantaneous drive failures.
Barracuda 9FC Product Manual, Rev. C 15 Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to set thresholds for the number of errors and their interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of errors does not exceed the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable.
