• Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) recording heads 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 intervention.

• Quiet operation.

• 300 Gs nonoperating shock.

• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.

• 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).
