1.3 USB
A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host, a multitude of downstream USB ports, and multiple peripheral devices connected in a tiered-star topology. Additional USB hubs may be included in the tiers, allowing branching into a tree structure, subject to a limit of 5 levels of tiers. USB host may have multiple host controllers and each host controller may provide one or more USB ports. Up to 127 devices, including the hub devices, may be connected to a single host controller.
USB supports three data rates: A Low Speed (1.1, 2.0) rate of 1.5Mbit/s (187.5kB/s) that is mostly used for Human Interface Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks. A Full Speed (1.1, 2.0) rate of 12Mbit/s (1.5MB/s). Full Speed was the fastest rate before the USB 2.0 specification and many devices fall back to Full Speed. Full Speed devices divide the USB bandwidth between them in a first-come first-served basis and it is not uncommon to run out of bandwidth with several isochronous devices. All USB Hubs support Full Speed. A Hi-Speed (2.0) rate of 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s).

DESCRIPTION
CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION
This chapter summarizes general functions and key features of the Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive, as well as the standards and regulations they meet.
2.1 Introduction
The Samsung Spinpoint M8U 2.5 inch hard disk drive is high capacity, high performance random access storage device, which uses non-removable 2.5-inch disks as storage media. Each disk incorporates thin film metallic media technology for enhanced performance and reliability. And for each disk surface there is a corresponding movable head actuator assembly to randomly access the data tracks and write or read the user data.
The Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive includes the USB controller embedded in the disk drive PCB electronics. The drive’s electrical interface is compatible with all mandatory, optional and vendor-specific commands within the USB specification.
Drive size conforms to the industry standard 2.5-inch form factor and mini USB interface.
The Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive incorporates TuMR head and Noise Predictive PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) signal processing technologies. These advanced technologies allow for areal density of about 700.0 Gigabits per square inch and storage capacity of maximum 500.0 Gigabytes per disk.
The heads, disk(s), and actuator housing are environmentally sealed within an aluminum-alloy base and cover. As the disks spin, air circulates within this base and cover, commonly referred to as the head and disk assembly (HDA), through a non-replaceable absolute filter ensuring a contamination free environment for the heads and disks throughout the life of the drive.

4.6 System Startup Procedure
Once the Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive and along with the adapter board (if required) have been installed in your system, the drive can now be partitioned and formatted for operation. To set up the drive correctly, follow these instructions:
1. Power on the system.
2. Typically the system will detect a configuration change automatically. If so, then jump to step 5.
3. Connected Drive Detection normally as removable disk but can not access drive folder, please create partition & format first.
4. Perform the following steps that applies to your system: (example for XP)
I. Select Control Panel - Computer Management - Disk Manager in OS Utility. II. Click the right mouse button of Selected USB device disk, and select New Partition. III. Step 1. Click Next Button. IV. Step 2. Select Partition Type and Click Next Button. V. Step3. Select Partition Size and Click Next Button VI. Step 4. Assign Drive Letter and Click Next Button. VII. Step 5. Select File System, quick format option and Click Next Button. VIII. Step 6. Click Finish Button
5. If the system recognizes the drive but experiences problem on properly handling the full capacity of the drive, run Disk Manager utility program provided by Samsung and follow the instructions. The Disk Manager utility program is available from Samsung on a floppy diskette, or downloadable from the Samsung website at system will not boot up, then contact technical support.

CHAPTER 5 DISK DRIVE OPERATION
This chapter describes the operation of the Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive functional subsystems. It is intended as a guide to the operation of the drive, rather than a detailed theory of operation.
5.1 Head / Disk Assembly (HDA)
The Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive consists of a mechanical sub-assembly and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), as shown in Figure 5-1. This section describes the mechanism of the drive.
The head / disk assembly (HDA) contains the mechanical sub-assemblies of the drive, which are sealed between the aluminum-alloy base and cover. The HDA consists of the base casting assembly (which includes the DC spindle motor assembly), the disk stack assembly, the head stack assembly, and the rotary voice coil motor assembly (which includes the actuator latch assembly). The HDA is assembled in a clean room. These subassemblies cannot be adjusted or field repaired.
CAUTION: To avoid contamination in the HDA, never remove or adjust its cover and seals. Disassembling the HDA voids your warranty.
The Spinpoint M8U hard disk drive models and capacities are distinguished by the number of heads and
The ST320LM008 have one (1) disk and two (2) read/write heads. The ST500LM016 has one (1) disk
disks. and two (2) heads. The ST750LM024 have two (2) disks and four (4) read/write heads. The ST1000LM026 has two (2) disks and four (4) read/write heads.
5.1.1 Base Casting Assembly
A one piece, aluminum-alloy base casting provides a mounting surface for the drive mechanism and PCBA. The base casting also serves as the flange for the DC spindle motor assembly. A gasket provides a seal between the base and cover castings that enclose the drive mechanism.
5.1.2 DC Spindle Motor Assembly
The DC spindle motor assembly consists of the brush-less three-phase motor, spindle bearing (FDB) assembly, disk mounting hub, and a lab yrinth seal. The entire spindle motor assembly is completely enclosed in the HDA and integrated to the base castin g. The labyrinth seal prevents bearing lubricant from coming out into the HDA.
