are 2.5-inch hard disk drives with built-in disk
C141-E057-01EN1-1
Device Overview
1.1 Features
1.1.1 Functions and performance
The fillowing features of the MHE Series and MHF Series are described.
(1) Compact
The MHE2064AT and MHE2043AT have 3 disks, and its height is 12.5 mm
(0.492 inch). The MHF2043AT and MHF2021AT have 1 disk or 2 disks of 65
mm (2.5 inches) diameter, and its height is 9.5 mm (0.374 inch).
(2) Large capacity
The disk drive can record up to 2.16 GB (formatted) on one disk using the (16/17)
EPR4ML recording method and 14 recording zone technology. The MHE Series
and MHF Series
(MHE2043AT), 4.32 GB (MHF2043AT), 2.16 GB (MHF2021AT) respectively.
have a formatted capacity of 6.49 GB (MHE2064AT), 4.32 GB
(3) High-speed Transfer rate
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) have an internal data rate up to
13.6 MB/s. The disk drive supports an external data rate up to 33.3 MB/s (UDMA mode 2).
(4) Average positioning time
Use of a rotary voice coil motor in the head positioning mechanism greatly
increases the positioning speed. The average positioning time is 13 ms (at read).
1.1.2 Adaptability
(1) Power save mode
The power save mode feature for idle operation, stand by and sleep modes makes
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) ideal for applications where
power consumption is a factor.
(2) Wide temperature range
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) can be used over a wide
temperature range (5°C to 55°C).
(3) Low noise and vibration
In Ready status, the noise of the disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) is
only about 30 dBA (measured at 1 m apart from the drive under the idle mode).
1-2C141-E057-02EN
1.1.3 Interface
(1) Connection to interface
With the built-in ATA interface controller, the disk drives (the MHE Series and
MHF Series) can be connected to an ATA interface of a personal computer.
(2) 512-KB data buffer
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) uses a 512-KB data buffer to
transfer data between the host and the disk media.
In combination with the read-ahead cache system described in item (3) and the
write cache described in item (7), the buffer contributes to efficient I/O
processing.
(3) Read-ahead cache system
After the execution of a disk read command, the disk drive automatically reads the
subsequent data block and writes it to the data buffer (read ahead operation). This
cache system enables fast data access. The next disk read command would
normally cause another disk access. But, if the read ahead data corresponds to the
data requested by the next read command, the data in the buffer can be transferred
instead.
1.1 Features
(4) Master/slave
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) can be connected to ATA
interface as daisy chain configuration. Drive 0 is a master device, drive 1 is a
slave device.
(5) Error correction and retry by ECC
If a recoverable error occurs, the disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series)
themselves attempt error recovery. The ECC has improved buffer error correction
for correctable data errors.
(6) Self-diagnosis
The disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) have a diagnostic function to
check operation of the controller and disk drives. Executing the diagnostic
command invokes self-diagnosis.
(7) Write cache
When the disk drives (the MHE Series and MHF Series) receive a write
command, the disk drives post the command completion at completion of
transferring data to the data buffer completion of writing to the disk media. This
feature reduces the access time at writing.
