Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the Medalist (ST313032A), Medalist 10232 (ST310232A), Medalist 8422 (ST38422A) and the Medalist 4312 (ST34312A). These drives are referred to throughout this manual by their model numbers. These drives provide the following key features:

Low power consumption

•

Quiet operation

•

Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting

•

High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 66.6 Mbytes per

•

second) using Ultra DMA mode 4 Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor

•

intervention 512-Kbyte cache

•

State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms

•

Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands

•

Support for autodetection of master/slave drives that use cable select

•

(CSEL) These drives use MR recording heads and EPRML technology, which

•

provide the drives with increased areal density.
