IBM DCAS-32160 - Ultrastar 2.1 GB Hard Drive, Specifications

Page: 99 / 232

The drive will attempt to read data after a seek before the head has fully settled on track. This is done to aid
performance. However as a result there is a high incidence of error recovery invoked which normally uses
ECC or a retry to recover the data. As a consequence of this an error recovered by a single retry is not
reported by the error counters.
Additionally the drive does not report data recovered by ECC on the fly as it is not possible to distinguish
between ECC errors caused by reading before settling and other causes.
