Maxtor Atlas 15K
RPL
Rotational Position Locking is used for spindle synchronization in storage
arrays. The modes are:
00b – Disabled
10b – Master
01b – Slave
11b – Not supported
RPL can be overridden if the Maxtor (Vendor) Special Function Control
page Auto field value = 1. This drive does not support spindle synchroniza-
tion.
Rotational Offset
Rotational Offset indicates the amount of rotational offset that the drive
uses when synchronized. The rotational offset is applied in the retarded di-
rection (lagging the synchronized spindle master). The value in the field is
determined by the following formula:
Offset
= 0 … 255
256
For example, a numerator of 128 indicates an offset of 1/2 revolution
(180°).
The valid parameter values are 0 to 255.
The specified value may be rounded. Rotational offset is not used when the
drive is configured as the synchronized-spindle master.
Medium Rotation Rate
The disk rotation speed in RPM.
