5.2.2
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 approximately a 1.5 increase in time to format a SED drive versus a non-SED drive of the same capacity.

5.3
Start/stop time
If the Motor Start option is disabled, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds after DC power is applied. If a
recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure and
the time to become ready may exceed 20 seconds. During spin up to ready time, the drive responds to some
commands over the FC interface in less than 3 seconds after application of power. Stop time is 30 seconds
(maximum) from removal of DC power.
If the Motor Start option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the
Fibre Channel
Interface Manual
less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start command has
been received, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery
procedure). The Motor Start command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle.
There is no power control switch on the drive.
