Minimum sector interleave 1 to 1
Data buffer to/from disc media (one 512-byte logical block)*
Minimum 63 MBytes/sec
Maximum 94 MBytes/sec
SAS Interface maximum instantaneous transfer rate 300 Mbytes/sec* per
port (dual port = 600
Mbytes/sec*)
Logical block sizes
Default is 512-byte data blocks
Variable 512 to 528 bytes per sector in evenly divisible by 4 number
of bytes per sector (512, 516, 520, 524, or 528). If n (number of bytes
per sector is not divisible by 4, the next lowest number that is devisi
-
ble by 4 will be used.
Read/write consecutive sectors on a track Yes
Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time
using the spare sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.)
Negligible
Average rotational latency 3.0 msec
*Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logi-
cal block transfer to or from the host.
