4.2.2
Format command execution time (minutes)
When changing sector sizes, the format times shown below may need to be increased by 30 minutes.
Note.
There is no significant difference in the format time between FDE and non-FDE models of the same
capacity.
Execution time 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).
4.2.3
General performance characteristics
4.3
Start/stop time
The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has
been applied.
If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START
STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20
seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
