Maxtor Atlas 10K III 4-11
Table 4-9 provides the error rates for the Maxtor Atlas 10K III hard disk drive.
Error Rates
1. Recovered read errors are errors which require retries for data correction.
Errors corrected by ECC on-the-fly are not considered recovered read
errors. Read on arrival is disabled to meet this specification.
2. Uncorrectable read errors are those that are not correctable using an Error
Correcting Code (ECC), or retries within the retry limits specified in the
mode pages. The drive terminates the command either when a repeating
error pattern occurs, or after both the specified number of retries and
application of triple burst error correction fail to correct the error.
3. A seek error occurs when the actuator fails to reach or remain on the
requested cylinder, and/or the drive requires the execution of the full
calibration routine to locate the requested cylinder.
Recovered read errors <10 events per 10 bits read
Uncorrectable read errors
1 event per 10 bits read
Seek Errors
<10 events per 10 seeks
