Dual port support, SCSI commands supported

Page 52 highlights

12.2 Dual port support Cheetah 15K.7 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 Cheetah 15K.7 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. 12.3 SCSI commands supported Table 19 lists the SCSI commands supported by Cheetah 15K.7 drives.

12.2
Dual port support
Cheetah 15K.7 SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or differ-
ent 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 Cheetah 15K.7 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.
