are designed to improve the performance of high-end workstations, file servers, and
storage systems. Among their features are the following:
• 18.3 GB, 36.7 GB, or 73.4 GB formatted capacity (512 bytes/block)
• MR heads and banded recording for higher overall bit-densities
• Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.)
Revision 2 support
• ORCA (Optimized Reordering Command Algorithm) and tagged
command queuing for greater throughput
• SCAM-2 (SCSI Configured AutoMatically) Auto ID configuration
• 8 MB Track-oriented segmented cache buffer with prefetch
• Automatic Power Management System with power-saving sub-states
• 10,000 rpm rotational speed yielding 3 ms average latency
• 4.5 ms/5.0 ms average read/write random seek time for 18.3/36.7/73.4
GB disk drives
• Embedded servo system for exceptional head positioning accuracy and
long life
•“Zero latency” reads and writes reduce data access time
• Full SCSI-3 compliance
(compatible with SCSI-2 and SCSI-1)
Note:
The drives are in compliance with the SCSI-3 draft proposed ANSI
standards as they exist at the time of product release; SCSI-3 features
may not be enabled on drives when shipped.
