3.5 Unformatted and formatted capacities
Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocation sectors reserved and the number of bytes per
sector. The following table shows the standard OEM model capacities:
Notes.
[1] Sector size selectable at format time. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block
size before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed. See
Mode Select Command and Format Command in the SCSI Interface Product Manual.
[2] User available capacity depends on spare reallocation scheme selected, the number of data tracks per
sparing zone, and the number of alternate sectors (LBAs) per sparing zone.
3.6 Programmable drive capacity
Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the
Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Refer to the Parameter list block
descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not
change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number in the number of blocks field that is less than
the maximum number of LBAs changes the total drive capacity to the value in the block descriptor number of
blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.
