A Most errors on intelligent interfaces are treated automatically as HARD errors The soft error counter represents the total number of soft errors detected by the test system Soft errors are non repeatable errors These types of errors are mainly detectable on older primitive interfaces ST506 ESDI etc Primary errors are drive media related errors that are typically read from the drives P list These are errors that the drive has already identified and mapped Grown errors are errors that are detected by the device or test system and have been added since the creation of the PRIMARY list Recoverable errors are drive reported errors that can be recovered by the use of ECC or other correction methods Non recoverable errors are drive reported errors that cannot be corrected by the drive These errors are 190 always considered to be HARD errors Compare errors occur when data received from the drive in the read buffer does not match the contents of the write buffer data written to the drive 4 he hard seek error counter is maintained for legacy compatibility but is not supported in Orion 4 he soft seek error counter is maintained for legacy compatibility but is not supported in Orion 4 he Sync error counter is used to show the total number of SCSI Sync loss errors The Record Not Found Address Mark Not Found error counter records totals for both types of errors A typical reason for these errors is trying to

Compare Description The Orion tester utilizes software data compare to validate data integrity during WRITE READ testing This is done by first writing a known pattern to the Device Under Test DUT The desired pattern is built in the WRITE BUFFER before the WRITE command is issued to the device As the WRITE command is running the data from the WRITE BUFFER will be sent to the device to write into its media The data is read back either in a sequential or random fashion using READ commands Before the READ command is issued to the device the WRITE BUFFER is rebuilt if necessary with the data that was written to the device During the READ command the data is received from the device and is read into the READ BUFFER of the tester The two buffers are compared by software to verify that the data read back is the same as the written data There are a several pre defined data patterns supported by the tester The following describes the differences and how it affects the data build compare operation Data Pattern Commands Currently there are six commands that build data patterns in the write buffer They are 1 8 Byte Pattern builds repeating one to eight byte user defined data patterns 2 Byte Pattern builds a 2 byte user defined repeating data pattern 12 Byte Pattern builds a 12 byte user defined repeating data pattern Set Data Mode supports several fixed patterns see below and section 6 2 1 4 Set Random Pattern random data r
