(7) COMMAND QUEUING
One command per initiator(host computer) is enqueued(Untagged Command
Queuing) and/or maximum 128 commands as total number of commands from all
host computers are enqueued(Tagged Command Queuing).
(8) COMMAND RE-ORDERING
The disk drive executes the multiple tagged commands with the advanced
command re-ordering algorithm. It can optimize the execution time of enqueued
commands and provide the high performance for a random or multi-threading
access environment.
(9) COMPACT DRIVE w/EMBEDDED CONTROLLER
The disk drive with fully embedded SCSI controller has the 3 1/2 inch industrial
standard form factor.
(10) 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.
(11) DOWN-LOADABLE FIRMWARE
The firmware can be changed by the multi-WRITE BUFFER commands.
(12) HIGH-SPEED DATA TRANSFER
High-Speed Data Transfer modes are available as follows.
· Max. 200MB/S
· Max. 100MB/S
(13) MULTI-HOST/MULTI-TARGET CONNECTION
Based on the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL), maximum 126
devices(including host computers) and one fabric can be connected on the same
loop. Therefore, a flexible system configurations can be available.
However, the number of connectable host computers is a maximum of 32.
(14) 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.
(15) 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.
