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 MBA3xxxRC.
The HDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) controller.
The interface used to connect the HDDs 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.
1.1 Standard Features
(1) Compactness
The HDDs are a compact enclosure which complies with the 3.5-inch hard disk drive form factor.
(2) Environmental Protection
The HDDs comply with the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (RoHS) directive issued by European Union (EU).
(3) SAS Standard
The HDDs are equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a host interface.
• Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps
• Number of SAS ports: Two
• Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported.
C141-E252 13
General Description
(4) Dual SAS port support
The HDDs have two pairs of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support dual SAS port
connection.
On the HDDs, Primary and Secondary Ports on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus power
connections) are used for SAS port connection.
(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
HDDs enable the effective use of such high-speed data transfers available on the SAS connection.
(6) 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 HDDs can
perform continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.
(7) Multi-segment data buffer
The data buffer is 16M bytes. Data are transferred between SAS port and disk media through this
data buffer. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.
(8) Cache feature
After executing the READ command, the HDDs read automatically and store (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 HDDs 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.
14 C141-E252
1.1 Standard Features
(9) Command queuing feature
The HDDs can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued
commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.
(10) Reserve and release functions
The HDDs can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the
reserve and release functions.
(11) Error recovery
The HDDs can try to recover from errors in the HDD 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 HDDs.
(12) Automatic alternate block reassignment
If a defective data block is detected during read or write the HDDs can automatically reassign their
alternate data block.
(13) 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.
Error rate increase
1. The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes.
2. The recoverable Error 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).
(14) 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.
(15) High speed positioning
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning with high performance access control.
C141-E252 15
General Description
(16) Large capacity
A large capacity can be obtained from the HDDs 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.
(17) Start/Stop of spindle motor
Using the SAS primitive or the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.
(18) Diagnosis
The HDDs have a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and HDD
operations. Also, for early detection of and recovery from the errors on the disk, the HDD has a
function for periodically implementing a full scan of the disk.
(19) Low power consumption
By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the HDDs is very low, and
this enables the units to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.
(20) Low acoustic noise
The acoustic noise level is low; approx. 3.6 Bels at Idle. This makes it ideal for office use.
(21) Microcode downloading
The HDDs implement the microcode download feature. This feature easily achieves maintenance
and function enhancement of the HDDs.
16 C141-E252
1.2 Hardware Structure
1.2 Hardware Structure
The HDDs have a disk enclosure (DE) and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The DE
includes heads on an actuator and disks on a spindle motor mounted on the DE. The PCBA includes
a read/write circuit and a controller circuit.
(1) Disks
The disks have an outer diameter of 70 mm (2.8 inch).
(2) Heads
The heads have MR (Magnet – Resistive) read element Ramp Load type slider.
(3) 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) 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.
(5) Read/write circuit
The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed
transmission and an MEEPRML (Modified Enhanced Extended Partial Response Maximum
Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external
noise and to improve data reliability.
(6) 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.
C141-E252 17
General Description
1.3 System Configuration
For the Serial Attached SCSI, the ANSI standard defines Point-to-Point technology. Figure 1.1 and
Figure 1.2 give examples of the SAS system configuration.
Figure 1.1 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal cabled environment)
Figure 1.2 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal backplane environment)
(1) Port addressing
Every device connected with the SAS protocol has a unique address (SAS address). SAS addresses
are in the Name Address Authority (NAA) IEEE Registered format defined by SCSI Primary
Command-2 (SPC-2).
An SAS address consists of 8 bytes as a unique value set for each device.
The initiator can implement an I/O operation on an HDD by using the corresponding SAS address
stored by the HDDs.

space. See Chapter 3 for the further information. The formatted capacity listed in the table is an
estimate for 512 bytes per sector.
(*2) One gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes; accessible capacity will be less and actual capacity depends
on the operating environment and formatting.
(*3) The seek time is as follows:
(*4) The start time is the time from power on or start command to when the HDDs are ready, and the stop
time is the time for disks to completely stop from power off or stop command.
(*5) This value indicates in idle mode. Power supply at nominal voltage ±1%. 25°C ambient.
(*6) The maximum data transfer rate may be restricted to the response speed of initiator and by
transmission characteristics. 1 MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s.
(*7) Refer to 1.1 (13).

2.1.4 Error rate
Errors detected during initialization and replaced by alternate block assignments are not included in
the error rate. Data blocks to be accessed should be distributed over the disk equally.
(1) Unrecoverable error rate
Errors which cannot be recovered within 63 retries and ECC correction should not exceed 10 per 10
16
bits read.
(2) Positioning error rate
Positioning errors which can be recovered by one retry should be 10 or less per 10

2.1.5 Reliability
(1) Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
MTBF of the HDDs during their life time is 1,400,000 hours (operating: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
average DE surface temperature: 50°C or less). Continual or sustained operation at case DE surface
temperature above 50°C may degrade product reliability.
24 C141-E252
2.1 Hardware Specifications
Note:
The MTBF is defined as:
Operating time (hours) at all field sites
MTBF =
The number of equipment failures from all field sites
Failure of the equipment means failure that requires repair, adjustments, or replacement.
Mishandling by the operator, failures due to bad environmental conditions, power trouble, host
system trouble, cable failures, or other failures not caused by the equipment are not considered.
(2) Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
MTTR is the average time taken by a well-trained service mechanic to diagnose and repair an HDD
malfunction. The HDD is designed for a MTTR of 30 minutes or less.
(3) Service life
The service life under suitable conditions and treatment is as follows.
The service life is depending on the environment temperature. Therefore, the user must design the
system cabinet so that the average DE surface temperature is as low as possible.
• DE surface temperature: from 5ºC to 40ºC 5 years
• DE surface temperature: from 41ºC to 45ºC 4.5 years
• DE surface temperature: from 46ºC to 50ºC 4 years
• DE surface temperature: from 51ºC to 55ºC 3.5 years
• DE surface temperature: from 56ºC to 60ºC 3 years
• DE surface temperature: more than 60ºC or less than 5ºC
No guarantee (Keep the DE surface
temperature from 5°C to 60°C.)
Even if the HDDs are used intermittently, the longest service life is 5 years.
The maximum storage period without turning the power on is six months.
Note:
The "average DE surface temperature" means the average temperature at the DE surface
throughout the year when the HDDs are operating.

(4) Data security at power failure
Integrity of the data on the disk is guaranteed against all forms of DC power failure except on blocks
where a write operation is being performed. The above does not applied to formatting disks or
assigning alternate blocks.
