Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the landing zone when power is removed. An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock automatically disengages when power is applied to the drive and the head load process begins. A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation. 3.1 Standard features The Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI family has the following standard features: • Integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller • Multimode SCSI drivers and receivers-single-ended (SE) and low voltage differential (LVD) • 16 bit I/O data bus • Asynchronous and synchronous data transfer protocol • Firmware downloadable via SCSI interface • User-selectable logical block size (512 to bytes per logical block) in any multiple of four bytes • Programmable sector reallocation scheme • Flawed sector 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 • Sealed head and disc assembly • No preventative maintenance or adjustment required • Dedicated head landing zone • Embedded servo design • Self diagnostics performed when power is applied to the drive • Zoned bit recording (ZBR) • Vertical, horizontal, or top down mounting • Dynamic spindle brake • 8,192 kbytes data buffer • Hot plug compatibility (Section 9.6.4.2 lists proper host connector needed) for LC model drives • Drive Self Test (DST) • BackGround Media Scan (BGMS) • Data Integrity Check • Power Save • Supports SCSI bus fairness 3.2 Media characteristics 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. 8 Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI Product Manual, Rev.
