standard form factor.
(11) DEFERRED ERROR REPORTING
The deferred error function reports an error to the subsequent command received
from the host computer if an error occurs after the completion with the GOOD
status returned.
(12) DOWN-LOADABLE SCSI FIRMWARE
The SCSI firmware can be changed by the multi-WRITE BUFFER commands
through the SCSI BUS.
(13) FAST-20/FAST-40/Fast-80(Ultra SCSI/Ultra 2 SCSI/Ultra 3 SCSI)
Fast-20(Ultra SCSI), Fast-40(Ultra 2 LVD SCSI), Fast-80(Ultra 3 LVD SCSI),
Fast-160 Synchronous Data Transfer Mode and other modes are available as
follows.
· Max. 320MB/S (Fast-160 Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
· Max. 160MB/S (Fast-80 Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
· Max. 80MB/S (Fast-40 Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
· Max. 40MB/S (Fast-20 Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
· Max. 20MB/S (Fast-10 Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
· Max. 10MB/S(Synchronous w/16-bit bus)
(14) MULTI-HOST/MULTI-TARGET CONNECTION
The disk drive can be connected to up to sixteen(16) host computers and
targets(including itself) in 16-bit Wide SCSI.
(15) MULTI-SEGMENTED BUFFER
The large capacity data buffer is equipped and this is maintained as a multi-
segmented buffer. A multi-segmented buffer scheme provides a high performance
for a read/write from the host computer which has the multi-tasking feature.
Refer to the Product Specifications for the data buffer size.
(16) READ AHEAD CACHE
The read ahead cache function provides a high performance for a sequential read
access. Reading data which the host computer has not yet requested into data
buffer is done in advance and directly transferring data to the host computer is
done without any latency at sequential access.
(17) SECTOR INTERLEAVE
A 1 : 1 interleave is supported.
(18) SELECTABLE BLOCK LENGTH
A 512 bytes block length is supported as a default and other block length is also
available after the disk re-format.
Refer to the Product Specification for details.
(19) SMART(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting)
