4.2.2 Format command execution time for 512-byte sectors (minutes) Maximum (with verify) Maximum (without verify) ST973401SS 52 26 ST936701SS 26 13 4.2.3 General performance characteristics Minimum sector interleave 1 to 1 Data buffer to/from disc media (one 512-byte logical block)* Minimum Maximum 63 MBytes/sec 94 MBytes/sec SAS Interface maximum instantaneous transfer rate 300 Mbytes/sec* per port (dual port = 600 Mbytes/sec*) Logical block sizes Default is 512-byte data blocks Variable 512 to 528 bytes per sector in evenly divisible by 4 number of bytes per sector (512, 516, 520, 524, or 528). If n (number of bytes per sector is not divisible by 4, the next lowest number that is devisible by 4 will be used. Read/write consecutive sectors on a track Yes Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time Negligible using the spare sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.) Average rotational latency 3.0 msec *Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logical block transfer to or from the host. 12 Savvio SAS Product Manual, Rev. D
