3.1 Standard features Savvio drives have the following standard features: • Perpendicular recording technology • 1.5 / 3 Gbit Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface • Integrated dual port SAS controller supporting the SCSI protocol • Support for SAS expanders and fanout adapters • Firmware downloadable using the SAS interface • 128-deep task set (queue) • Supports up to 32 initiators • Jumperless configuration • User-selectable logical block size (512, 520, 524, or 528 bytes per logical block) • Industry standard SFF 2.5-inch dimensions • Programmable logical block reallocation scheme • Flawed logical block reallocation at format time • Programmable auto write and read reallocation • Reallocation of defects on command (Post Format) • ECC maximum burst correction length of 320 bits • No preventive maintenance or adjustments required • Dedicated head landing zone • Embedded servo design • Automatic shipping lock • Self diagnostics performed when power is applied to the drive • Zone bit recording (ZBR) • Vertical, horizontal, or top down mounting • Dynamic spindle brake • 16 Mbyte data buffer (see Section 4.5) • Drive Self Test (DST) • Background Media Scan (BGMS) • Idle Read After Write (IRAW) • Power Save 3.2 Media description The media used on the drive has an aluminum substrate coated with a thin film magnetic material, overcoated with a proprietary protective layer for improved durability and environmental protection. 3.3 Performance • Firmware-controlled multisegmented cache designed to dynamically adjust segments for enhanced system performance • 300 Mbytes/sec maximum instantaneous data transfers • 15k RPM spindle. Average latency = 2.0 msec • Background processing of queue • Supports start and stop commands (spindle stops spinning) • Adaptive seek velocity; improved seek performance 8 Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev.
