4.5.5 Throughput
4.5.5.1 Simple sequential access
The following table illustrates simple sequential access for the enclosure.
The above table gives the time required to read a total of 8000h consecutive blocks (16,777,216 bytes) accessed by 128 read
commands. Typical and Max values are given by 105% and 110% of T respectively throughout following performance
description.
T = A + B + C + 16,777,216/D + 512/E (READ)
where
T = Calculated time (sec)
A = Command process time (Command overhead) (sec)
B = Average seek time (sec)
C = Average latency (sec)
D = Sustained disk-buffer transfer rate (byte/sec)
E = Buffer-host transfer rate (byte/sec)
Note: It is assumed that a host system responds instantaneously and host data transfer is faster than sustained data rate.
4.5.5.2 Random access
The following table illustrates simple sequential access for three-disk enclosure.
Table 13: Random Access performance
The above table gives the time required to execute a total of 1000h read commands which access a single random LBA. Typi-
cal and Max values are given by 105% and 110% of T respectively throughout following performance description.
T = 4096(A + B + C+ 512/D + 512/E) (READ)
where
T = Calculated time (sec)
A = Command process time (Command overhead) (sec)
B = Average seek time (sec)
C = Latency
D = Average sustained disk-buffer transfer rate (byte/s)
E = Buffer-host transfer rate (byte/s)
