- MICROPOLIS 1991 SERIES/SCSI INTERFACE
-
- SCORPIO
-
- The Model 1991 5.25-inch disk drive is ideally suited for
- mission critical applications, where reliability is
- paramount, for digital audio/video environments where
- capacity and data rate are important, or for any user
- interested in the best cost per megabyte and highest
- reliability.
-
- The Model 1991 provides 9.1 gigabytes for Super-Capacity,
- and enhanced SCSI features for improved performance.
- Multiple Zone Recording (MZR) technology provides
- greater capacity and faster data rate. Drive reliability
- is assured with up to 1 million hours MTBF backed by a
- 5-year warranty.
-
- Micropolis Model 1991 sets a new benchmark for cost-
- effective disk storage. For the first time, users can
- replace their near-on-line optical jukeboxes with higher
- performance on-line disk storage at a lower cost.
- Scorpio's low cost per megabyte makes it ideal for the
- growing number of applications requiring large amounts
- of on- line storage including data base libraries,
- digital audio/video editing and multimedia, desktop
- publishing and disk-to-disk back- up.
-
- Micropolis' high performance standards have been
- maintained with the 1991. It utilizes 5400 RPM spindle
- speed and advanced SCSI features to achieve optimal
- performance in a 5.25-inch drive. The high-performance
- SCSI-2/3 controller provides many high-performance
- advantages including:
-
- Multi-Segmented, Read-Ahead Caching:
- Improves read performance by allowing many accesses to
- be serviced from the cache instead of the media.
-
- Write Coalescing:
- Improves write performance by appending multiple
- consecutive write commands into a single disk revolution
- write operation.
-
- Write Caching Option:
- Improves write performance by immediately reporting
- completion status without waiting for delays in drive
- positioning.
-
- Tagged Command Queuing:
- Dramatically increases data throughput by enabling the
- drive to process multiple commands in sequence that
- provides seek and latency optimization and minimizes
- other delays.
-
- The Micropolis 1991 Disk Drive offers several features
- and options for easy integration into any operating
- environment:
-
- - Standard 512 KB buffer and optional 2048 KB buffer
- - Fast SCSI-2/3 single-ended and differential interfaces
- - Fast SCSI-2/3 with 50 pin connector
- - Fast Wide SCSI-2/3 with 68 pin connector
- - Spindle synchronization supported for multiple-drive
- applications
-
- Micropolis provides enhanced data integrity with buffer
- data protection, automatic retries using servo and data
- strobe offsets, and a 126-bit Reed-Solomon ECC with
- on-the-fly correction. Additionally, rugged construction
- and advanced servo techniques protect against shock and
- environmental variations.
-
- Micropolis has received the International Standards
- Institute ISO 9000 Certification Award for manufacturing
- excellence. This worldwide standard of achievement
- underscores Micropolis' commitment to offering the
- highest quality disk drive solutions available.
