Notes for Sections 4.2.
[1]
Execution time is measured from receipt of the last byte of the Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to the
request for a status byte transfer to the initiator (excluding connect/disconnect).
[2]
Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal ori-
entation as measured on a representative sample of drives. These access times do not include average
rotational latency time.
[3]
Assumes no errors and no sector reallocations.
[4]
Rate measured from the start of the first sector transfer to or from the host.
[5]
Assumes system ability to support the rates listed 1 byte wide and no cable loss.
[6]
Assumes system ability to support the rates listed 2 bytes wide and no cable loss.
[7]
Access time = controller overhead + average seek time.
Access data time = controller overhead + average seek time + latency.
