3.0 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 the disks and actuator
assembly. 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 an in-hub, brushless, sensorless DC drive motor. Dynamic braking is used to
quickly stop the spindle.
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 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.
When the drive is powered off, the actuator automatically moves the head to the actuator ramp outside of the
disk where it parks.

4.4.1 Drive format
Upon shipment from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies manufacturing the drive satisfies the sector
continuity in the physical format by means of the defect flagging strategy described in Section 5.0 on page
14 in order to provide the maximum performance to users.
4.4.2 Cylinder allocation
Physical cylinder is calculated from the starting data track of 0. It is not relevant to logical CHS. Depending
on the capacity some of the inner zone cylinders are not allocated.
Data cylinder
This cylinder contains the user data which can be sent and retrieved via read/write commands and a spare
area for reassigned data.
Spare cylinder
The spare cylinder is used by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies manufacturing and includes data sent
from a defect location.

4.5 Performance characteristics
Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:
Command overhead
Mechanical positioning
- Seek time
- Latency
Data transfer speed
Buffering operation (Look ahead/Write cache)
All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the
performance of the actual system. This specification defines the characteristics of the drive, not the
characteristics of the system throughput which depends on the system and the application.
4.5.1 Command overhead
Command overhead is defined as the time required
 from the time the command is written into the command register by a host
 to the assertion of DRQ for the first data byte of a READ command when the requested data is not
in the buffer
 excluding Physical seek time and Latency
The table below gives average command overhead.
Command type (Drive is in quiescent state) Time (Typical)
(ms)
Time (Typical)

command (ms)*
Read (Cache not hit) (from Command Write to Seek Start) 0.5 0.5
Read (Cache hit) (from Command Write to DRQ) 0.1 0.2
Write (from Command Write to DRQ) 0.015 0.2
Seek (from Command Write to Seek Start) 0.5 not applicable
* SATA only

1D/2DCommand Type Typical (ms) Max (ms)
Read 14.0 14.7
Write 15.0 15.7
Table 5 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. The maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and
voltage conditions. (See Section 6.4, “Environment” on page 41 and Section 6.5, “DC Power
Requirements” on page 43.
Seek time is measured from the start of the motion of the actuator to the start of a reliable read or
write operation. "Reliable read or write" implies that error correction/recovery is not used to correct
arrival problems. The average seek time is measured as the weighted average of all possible seek
combinations.

__________________________________________________

where: max = maximum seek length
n = seek length (1 to max)
TnBin B= inward measured seek time for an n-track seek
TnBout B= outward measured seek time for an n-track seek
4.5.2.2 Full stroke seek (without command overhead, including settling)
1D/2DCommand Type Typical (ms) Max (ms)
Read 27.0 30.0
Write 28.0 31.0
Table 6 Full stroke seek time
Full stroke seek is measured as the average of 1000 full stroke seeks with a random head switch from both
directions (inward and outward).
4.5.2.3 Single track seek time (without command overhead, including settling)
Common to all models and all seek modes
Function Typical (ms) Max (ms)
Read 0.8 1.5
Write 1.3 2.0
Table 7 Single Track Seek Time
Single track seek is measured as the average of one (1) single track seek from every track with a random
head switch in both directions (inward and outward).

Table 9 Drive ready time
Ready The condition in which the drive is able to perform a media access command
(such as read, write) immediately.
Power on This includes the time required for the internal self diagnostics.
Note: Max Power On to ready time is the maximum time period that Device 0 waits for Device 1 to assert
PDIAG–.
4.5.4 Operating modes
4.5.4.1 Operating mode descriptions
Operating mode Description
Spin-up Start up time period from spindle stop or power down
Seek Seek operation mode
Write Write operation mode
Read Read operation mode
Unload Idle Spindle rotation at 7200 RPM with heads unloaded
Idle Spindle motor and servo system are working normally. Commands can be
