3 Fixed Disk Subsystem Description
3.1 Control Electronics
The drive is electronically controlled by a microprocessor, several logic modules, digital/analog modules, and various
drivers and receivers. The control electronics performs the following major functions:
Controls and interprets all interface signals between the host controller and the drive.
Controls read write accessing of the disk media, including defect management and error recovery.
Controls starting, stopping, and monitoring of the spindle.
Conducts a power-up sequence and calibrates the servo.
Analyzes servo signals to provide closed loop control. These include position error signal and estimated
velocity.
Monitors the actuator position and determines the target track for a seek operation.
Controls the voice coil motor driver to align the actuator in a desired position.
Constantly monitors error conditions of the servo and takes corresponding action if an error occurs.
Monitors various timers such as head settle and servo failure.
Performs self-checkout (diagnostics).
3.2 Head Disk Assembly
The head/disk assembly (HDA) is assembled in a clean room environment and contains disks, a spindle motor,
actuator assembly, and voice coil motor. Air is constantly circulated and filtered when the drive is operational.
Venting of the HDA is accomplished via a breather filter.
The spindle is driven directly by a brushless, sensorless DC drive motor. Dynamic braking is used to stop the spindle
quickly.
3.3 Actuator
The read/write heads are mounted in the actuator. The actuator is a swing-arm assembly driven by a voice coil
motor. A closed-loop positioning servo controls the movement of the actuator. An embedded servo data pattern
supplies feedback to the positioning servo to keep the read/write heads centered over the desired track.
The actuator assembly is balanced to allow vertical or horizontal mounting without adjustment.
Heads are moved out from the disks (unloaded) to protect the disk data during shipping, moving, or storage. At
power down, the heads are automatically unloaded from over the disk area and the head actuator locking
mechanism will secure the heads in the unload position.
HGST Ultrastar C15K600 Hard Disk Drive Specification
Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:
- Command overhead
- Mechanical head positioning
o Seek time
o Latency
- Data transfer speed
- Buffering operation (read ahead/write cache)
Note: All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the
performance of the actual system. This specification tries to define the bare drive characteristics, not system
throughput, which depends on the system and the application.
4.4.1 Mechanical Positioning
4.4.1.1 Average Seek Time (including settling)
Table 6 Mechanical Positioning Performance
The terms “Typical” and “Max” are used throughout this specification with the following meanings:
Typical The average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental and voltage conditions.
Max Themaximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and voltage
conditions. (See section 8 “Environment” and section 9 “DC Power Requirements”)
The seek time is measured from the start of the actuator’s motion to the start of a reliable read or write operation.
“Reliable read or write” implies that error correction or recovery is not used to correct arrival problems. The average
seek time is measured as the weighted average of all possible seek combinations.
Weighted average =
Where:
max = Maximum seek length
n = Seek length (1 to max)
Tn.in = Inward measured seek time for an n track seek
Tn.out = Outward measured seek time for an n track seek

directions (inward and outward).

Notes:
- For this table, '1 MB / Sec' is defined as 1,000,000 bytes per Second.
- Instantaneous disk-buffer transfer rate is derived by: (Number of sectors on a track) x (sectors/track) x
(revolutions/sec)
- The number of sectors per track will vary by radial zone because linear bit density is approximately constant
while track radius decreases with increasing zone number.
- Sustained disk-buffer transfer rate is the average rate measured while transferring multiple tracks of data.
It differs from the instantaneous transfer rate because of the time required to change tracks (track skew). In
addition, time is added for the occasional missed track switch.
This hard disk drive has a buffer for read ahead (see section 20.8 “Segmented Caching”)
This hard disk drive has a buffer for write cache (see section 20.6 “Write Cache”)
