Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and i nterfac e spec ifi cations for the Medalist Medalist 4321 (ST34321A), Medalist 3221 (ST33221A) and Medalist 2110 (ST32110A). 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 33.3 Mbytes per

second) using Ultra DMA mode 2

• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capabili ty without local processor intervention

• 128-Kbyte cache

• State-of-the-art caching 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)

• MR recording heads and PRML technology, which provides the drives with increased areal density
