The SMART(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting) function is supported. This
function enables to perform an analysis, logging and reporting the error to the host
computer by the disk drive itself .
(20) TRACK/CYLINDER SKEW
In order to avoid a rotational latency for the seek to the adjacent head or cylinder,
Head/ Cylinder Skew function which shifts the sector configuration at the head/
cylinder boundary (between the last sector of the head/ cylinder and the first sector
of the next head/ cylinder) is supported, so that the read write head can be
positioned to the first sector of the next head/ cylinder. Therefore, reading/
writing of contiguous blocks is done without an extra rotational delay, even if an
access is done over the physical track/cylinder boundary.
(21) WRITE CACHE
The write cache function provides a high performance for a sequential write access.
It may return the completion with the GOOD status for a WRITE command after
successfully receiving the data from the host computer and prior to having
successfully stored the data on the disk medium.
(22) ULTRA3 SCSI
The Parallel Protocol Request Message and READ BUFFER/WRITE BUFFER
command(echo buffer mode) is supported for ULTRA3 SCSI.
(23)
SCSI Bus Fairness
The SCSI bus fairness function is supported. This function guarantee the
opportunity of an arbitration to all the hosts connected to same SCSI bus, and
target.
(24)
Information Unit Transfer(IUS)
The Information Unit Transfer(IUS) function is supported. This function can raise
the performance of the whole system sharply.
Non-data transmission of the status transmitted to a host can be transmitted and
received at synchronization eggplant data transmission speed from the command
transmitted to a controller from a host, and controller.
More I/O processes can be processed, without disconnectting.
(25)
Quick Arbitration(QAS)
The Quick Arbitration(QAS) is supported. This function can perform an
arbitration through a bus free phase.
