ATA V ST3120023A, ST380023A, ST360015A,
ST340017A, and ST330013A model drives. These drives provide the following
key features:
• 7,200-RPM spindle speed and 2-Mbyte buffer combine for superior desktop
performance.
• High instantaneous (burst) data transfer rates (up to 100 Mbytes per second)
using Ultra DMA mode 5.
• Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) recording heads and EPRML technology,
which provide the drives with increased areal density.
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor interven-
tion.
• Quiet operation.
• 350 Gs nonoperating shock.
• The innovative, shock-absorbing SeaShield
®
cover protects the drive against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other handling damage. It also includes
installation instructions and jumper settings.
• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates
unnecessary drive returns.
• The 3D Defense System™, which includes Drive Defense, Data Defense,
and Diagnostic Defense, offers the industry’s most comprehensive protec-
tion for disc drives.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands.
• Support for autodetection of master/slave drives that use cable select
(CSEL).
