CHAPTER 1  
General Description  
1.1 Standard Features  
1.2 Hardware Structure  
1.3 System Configuration  
This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the hard disk drives (HDD).  
The HDD are high performance large capacity 2.5" fixed disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached SCSI  
(SAS) controller.  
The interface used to connect the HDD to the host system complies with ANSI T10/1601-D Serial Attached  
SCSI-1.1 (SAS-1.1), which covers items ranging from SAS physical layers to SCSI command protocols.  
The high-speed data transfer and long-distance transmission capabilities of SAS technology and the powerful  
command set the HDD facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk subsystems with large  
storage capacities.  
C141-E219  
1-1  
General Description  
1.1  
Standard Features  
(1)  
Compactness  
The disk drive is a compact enclosure which complies with the 2.5" disk drive form factor.  
SAS Standard  
(2)  
The HDD is equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a host interface.  
Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps  
Number of SAS ports: One  
Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported.  
SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing, regardless of the physical  
characteristics of the disk drive. This enables software to accommodate expansion of system  
functionality.  
(3)  
Single SAS port support  
The HDD has single pair of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support single SAS port  
connection.  
On MAV2073RC and MAV2036RC, Primary Port on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus  
power connections) is used for SAS port connection.  
(4)  
(5)  
High-speed data transfer  
The maximum data-transfer speed on the SAS is 300.0 MB/s. The large-capacity data buffer of the  
HDD enables the effective use of such high-speed data transfers available on the SAS connection.  
Continuous block processing  
The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator can access data by  
specifying block number in a logically continuous data space without concerning the physical  
structure of the track or cylinder boundaries.  
The continuous processing up to [64K-1] blocks in a command can be achieved, and the HDD can perform  
continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.  
(6)  
Multi-segment data buffer  
The data buffer is 8M bytes. Data is transferred between SAS port and disk media through this data  
buffer. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.  
1-2  
C141-E219  
1.1 Standard Features  
(7)  
Cache feature  
After executing the READ command, the HDD reads automatically and stores (prefetches) the  
subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-ahead caching).  
The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transferring the data from the data buffer without  
reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks.  
The Write Cache feature is supported. When this feature is enabled, the status report is issued  
without waiting for completion of write processing to disk media, thereby enabling high speed write  
processing.  
When Write Cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cached data is  
surely flushed to the disk media before you turn off the drive's power.  
To ensure it, you should issue either the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE  
command or the STOP UNIT command with specifying “0” to the  
Immediate bit, and then confirm that the command is surely terminated  
with the GOOD STATUS.  
(8)  
Command queuing feature  
The HDD can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued commands  
by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.  
(9)  
Reserve and release functions  
The HDD can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the  
reserve and release functions.  
(10)  
Error recovery  
The HDD can try to recover from errors in the disk drive using its powerful retry processing. If a  
recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected  
in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing  
by these error recovery functions of the HDD.  
(11)  
(12)  
Automatic alternate block reassignment  
If a defective data block is detected during read or write the HDD can automatically reassign its  
alternate data block.  
Programmable data block length  
Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and can be  
specified at initializing with a multiple of four within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.  
C141-E219  
1-3  
General Description  
Error rate increase  
1. The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes.  
2. The recoverable Error of the drive might increase when the format would  
be modified from 512 bytes to the following values:  
516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes.  
3. The recoverable Error referred here is sense data (1-13-xx).  
(13)  
Defective block slipping  
A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data block at  
formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a revolution delay  
due to defective data block.  
(14)  
(15)  
High speed positioning  
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning with high performance access control.  
Large capacity  
A large capacity can be obtained from the HDD by dividing all cylinders into several partitions and  
changing the recording density on each partition (constant density recording). The disk subsystem  
with large capacity can be constructed in the good space efficiency.  
(16)  
(17)  
Start/Stop of spindle motor  
Using the SAS primitive or the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.  
Diagnosis  
The HDD has a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and drive operations  
to facilitate testing and repair.  
(18)  
(19)  
Low power consumption  
By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the HDD is very low, and this  
enables the unit to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.  
Low noise and low vibration  
The noise level is low; approx. 2.9 Bels at Ready for the drive. This makes it ideal for office use.  
1-4  
C141-E219  
1.1 Standard Features  
(20)  
Microcode downloading  
The HDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintainability of  
the HDD and function enhancing.  
1.2  
Hardware Structure  
The HDD is composed of the disks, heads, and spindle motor mounted disk enclosure (DE) with  
actuator as well as read/write pre-amp with the printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the controller.  
(1)  
(2)  
(3)  
Disks  
The disks have an outer diameter of 65 mm (2.56 inch).  
Heads  
The heads have MR (Magnet-Resistive) read element Ramp Load type slider.  
Spindle motor  
The disks are rotated by a direct-drive hall-less DC motor. The motor speed is controlled by a  
feedback circuit using the counter electromotive current to precisely maintain the specified speed.  
(4)  
(5)  
(6)  
Actuator  
The actuator, which uses a rotary voice coil motor (VCM), consumes little power and generates little  
heat. The heads at the end of the actuator arm are controlled and positioned via feedback servo loop.  
The heads are positioned on the ramp when the power is off or the spindle motor is stopped.  
Read/write circuit  
The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed  
transmission and an MEEPR4ML (Modified Enhanced Extended Partial Response Class 4 Maximum  
Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external  
noise and to improve data reliability.  
Controller circuit  
The controller circuit uses LSIs to increase the reliability and uses a high speed microprocessing unit  
(MPU) to increase the performance of the SAS controller.
