(2) AUTOMATIC ALTERNATE ASSIGNMENT/ACCESS
By the FORMAT UNIT or REASSIGN BLOCKS command, alternate sectors are
automatically assigned in place of defective sectors. An alternate sector is
allocated next to the defective sector on FORMAT UNIT, so, extra rotational
latency may be avoided. The access to an alternate sector is done automatically on
the read or write operation.
(3) AUTOMATIC ERROR CORRECTION
The automatic error correction scheme with ECC is capable for an error correction
of the medium defect. The On the Fly error correction is also capable for the
medium defect and does not require the extra rotational delay.
Refer to the Product Specifications for details.
(4) AUTOMATIC ERROR RETRY
The error recovery function is automatically initiated in case that an error
occurred during access to the disk drive.
(5) AUTOMATIC POWER-SAVING CONTROL
The automatic power-saving function is supported to reduce the power
consumption and increase the life time of the magnetic heads and the electronic
circuits. This is automatically initiated in an idle condition whenever there are
no pending process by the host command.
(6) AUTOMATIC READ/WRITE REALLOCATION
The automatic read/ write reallocation function is supported. When an error is
detected on reading the data(assuming a data field recoverable error) or writing
the data(assuming a servo field error), this function automatically assigns an
alternate sector in place of the defective sector and stores the data on the
alternated sector prior to sending the completion status.
(7) COMMAND LINK
The command link function transits to next COMMAND phase directly from
current MESSAGE IN phase at the successful command termination.
(8) 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).
(9) 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.
(10) COMPACT DRIVE w/EMBEDDED CONTROLLER
The disk drive with fully embedded SCSI controller has the 3 1/2 inch industrial
