Page 57 highlights

12.2 Dual port support Savvio SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports have the capability of independent port clocking (e.g. both ports can run at 6Gbit/sec or the first port can run at 6Gbit/sec while the second port runs at 3Gbit/sec.) The supported link rates are 1.5, 3.0, or 6.0 Gbits/sec. Subject to buffer availability, the Savvio drives support: • Concurrent port transfers-The drive supports receiving COMMAND, TASK management transfers on both ports at the same time. • Full duplex-The drive supports sending XFER_RDY, DATA and RESPONSE transfers while receiving frames on both ports.

12.2
Dual port support
Savvio SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI
domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address.
The two ports have the capability of independent port clocking (e.g. both ports can run at 6Gbit/sec or the first
port can run at 6Gbit/sec while the second port runs at 3Gbit/sec.) The supported link rates are 1.5, 3.0, or 6.0
Gbits/sec.
Subject to buffer availability, the Savvio drives support:
Concurrent port transfers—The drive supports receiving COMMAND, TASK management transfers on both
ports at the same time.
• Full duplex—The drive supports sending XFER_RDY, DATA and RESPONSE transfers while receiving
frames on both ports.
