Naresh,

The SATA 2.6 spec explains the relationship of FER and BER.  You can relate
the two by the calculation you describe.  Since all data is passed in
frames, and errors are detected on frames, FER is the observable parameter,
not BER.

=20
Hi All,

While doing FER (Frame Error Rate) Testing for Serial ATA Interface, I
came across some max. FER no. allowed.=20
Can I use BER Tester for measuring this by multiplying my whole max.
FIS(Frame Information Structure) with the no. of bits contained in FIS.

Regards
Naresh
