5.0 Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Read Error Rates1 Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data Interface error rate: MTBF: Preventive maintenance: Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks Less than 10 errors in 1012 bits transferred (OEM default settings) Less than 1 sector in 1015 bits transferred Less than 1 sector in 1021 bits transferred Less than 1 error in 1012 bits transferred with minimum receive eye. Less than 1 error in 1014 bits transferred with typical receive eye. See Section 9.6.4, "Differential PECL input." on page 72 1,400,000 hours None required 1. Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated. 5.1 Error rates The error rates stated in this manual assume the following: • The drive is operated in accordance with this manual using DC power as defined in paragraph 6.2, "DC power requirements." • Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations. • Assume random data. • Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write retries and full retry time. 5.1.1 Recoverable Errors Recovereable errors are those detected and corrected by the drive, and do not require user intervention. Recoverable Data errors will use correction, although ECC on-the-fly is not considered for purposes of recovered error specifications. Recovered Data error rate is determined using read bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a read, and using write bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a write. 5.1.2 Unrecoverable Errors Unrecoverable Data Errors (Sense Key = 03h) are specified at less than 1 sector in error per 1015 bits transferred. Unrecoverable Data Errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1 error for that block. Cheetah 15K.4 FC Product Manual, Rev. C 17
