4.2 Seek performance characteristics
See Section 10.4.1, "SAS physical interface" on page 56 and the
SAS Interface Manual
(part number
100293071) for additional timing details.
4.2.1 Access time
Including controller overhead
2 1
1. Execution time measured from receipt of the Command to the Response.
,
(msec)
Average Typical
4 3
3. Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal orientation as
measured on a representative sample of drives.
,
4. Access time = controller ov average seek time and applies to all data transfer commands.
Access to data = access time + latency time.
4.2 4.6 4.0 4.4
Single track Typical
3,4
0.4 0.7 0.4 0.7
Full stroke Typical
3,4
7.68 8.15 7.48 7.95
2. Assumes no errors and no sector has been relocated.
Not including controller overhead
1,2
