 The same appears to be the case for the 5k3000's as well (page 96 in
 that document).

Be careful with the smaller 5k3000 drives. The 1TB and 2TB drives are
not manufactured on the same line as the Ultrastar and seem to have
lower reliability. Only the 3TB 5k3000 shares specs with the Ultrastar
5k3000.

[zfs-discuss] Deskstars and CCTL (aka TLER)

2011-09-07 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
Hi all

Reading the docs for the Hitachi drives, it seems CCTL (aka TLER) is settable 
for Deskstar drives. See page 97 in http://goo.gl/ER0WD

Does anyone know if this is possible from OI/Solaris, or if this needs to be 
done on driver level?

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

roy

You should be able to do it via smartctl. The setting does not persist
through power cycles, so you'll want to add it to a startup script.

Note, however:

   These timers do not apply to streaming commands, or to queued
   commands when out-of-order data delivery is enabled. 

I presume the latter is the common case for NCQ reads?  That would
appear to limit the usefulness of this specific knob, even if it's
better than binding it to the model number as other vendors do.
