4.5 CACHE OPERATION Note. Refer to the SAS Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits. Of the 16 Mbytes physical buffer space in the drive, approximately 13,000 kbytes can be used as a cache. The buffer is divided into logical segments from which data is read and to which data is written. The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If the cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the SAS Interface Manual ), data requested by

4.5.1 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. If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made available for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed indep

5.2.1 Annualized Failrue Rate (AFR) and Mean time between failure (MTBF) These drives shall achieve an AFR of 0.55% (MTBF of 1,600,000 hours) when operated in an environment that ensures the HDA case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Section 6.4. Operation at case temperatures outside the specifications in Section 6.4 may increase the AFR (decrease the MTBF). AFR and MTBF statistics are population statistics that are not relevant to individual units. AFR and MTBF specificat

Performance impact S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the disk so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recreated. The drive measures and saves parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the drive interfaces. The process of measuring off-line attribute data and saving data to the disk is uninterruptable. The maximum on-line only processing delay is summarized below: Table 2: Maximum processing delay On-line only delay Fully-enabled delay DEXCPT = 0,

The current algorithm implements two temperature trip points. The first trip point is set at 68°C which is the maximum temperature limit according to the drive specification. The second trip point is user-selectable using the Log Select command. The reference temperature parameter in the temperature log page (see Table 2) can be used to set this trip point. The default value for this drive is 68°C, however, you can set it to any value in the range of 0 to 68°C. If you specify a temperatur
