• Authenticated firmware download 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 • Programmable multi-segmentable cache buffer • 400 Mbytes/sec maximum instantaneous data transfers per port • 15k RPM spindle; average latency = 2.0 msec • Command queuing of up to 128 commands • Background processing of queue • Supports start and stop commands (spindle stops spinning) • Adaptive seek velocity; improved seek performance Note. There is no significant performance difference between Self-Encrypting Drive and standard (nonSelf-Encrypting Drive) models 3.4 Reliability • Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.55% • Increased LSI circuitry integration • Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) • Dithering • 5-year warranty 3.5 Formatted capacities Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is selectable at format time and must be one of the supported sizes listed in the table below. Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current guaranteed operating points for this product are: ST3600057FC ST3600957FC ST3450857FC ST3450757FC ST3300657FC ST3300557FC Sector Size Decimal Hex Decimal Hex Decimal Hex 512 1,172,123,568 45DD2FB0 879,097,968 3465F870 585,937,500 22ECB25C 520 1,147,307,694 446286AE 860,480,771 3349E503 573,653,848 22314358 524 1,132,015,600 43792FF0 849,011,700 329AE3F4 566,007,800 21BC97F8 528 1,115,749,560 4280FCB8 836,812,167 31E0BD87 557,874,778 21407E5A Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given block size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between other drive families and from generation to generation, depending on how each block size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts. This added capacity potential may range from 0.1 to 1.3 percent above the guaranteed capacities listed above. Using the drives in this manner gives the absolute maximum capacity potential, but the user must determine if Cheetah 15K.7 FC Product Manual, Rev. B 7
