Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the Medalist

2132 hard disc drive. The drive is referred to

throughout this manual by its model number, ST32132A. The ST32132A drive is designed to meet the needs of entry-level to

midrange desktop computers. It is a standard 3.5-inch form-factor drive that features PRML recording technology, advanced transfer modes, multiple block read/ write, segmented cache, power management and S.M.A.R.T. capabilities. The drive’s 2.1-Gbyte capacity provides ample space to store large sof tware programs and allows these programs to run efficiently.

Fast ATA-3 performance is available on this drive. The Medalist 2132 supports advanced PIO modes 3 and 4 and advanced multiword DMA modes 1 and 2 for burs t transfer rates up to 16.6 Mbytes per second. The drive supports multiple block read/write, which allows it to store contiguous blocks of data in its 128-Kbyte segmented cache and to transfer the blocks in a single burst.

The drive supports power-management modes f or energy-efficient operation. Power dissipation falls to 0.84W (typical) in Standby mode. The drive enters power-saving modes at the reques t of t he host. I t can also be programmed to automatically enter power-saving modes using the Idle timer or Standby timer commands. The power-management modes the drive supports are discussed in Section 1.7.1 on page 8. The power-management commands the drive supports are listed in the ATA-command table on page 25.

1.0 Drive Specifications

1.1 Formatted Capacity

The drive is low-level formatted at the factory. You do not need to low-level format the drive.

This drive supports cylinder-head-sector (CHS) and logical-block addressing (LBA) translation modes. You can use the Identify drive (EC command to verify the address modes t he drive supports, the num ber of cylinders, sectors per t rack, total number of sectors, heads and other parameters. The Identify drive parameters are listed in Section 3.3.1. on page 26.

1.5 Seek time

Seek value is the interval between the time the actuator begins to m o ve and the time the head has settled ov er the target trac k. Seek time is a true statistical average of at least 10,000 measurements of seek time. All measurements are taken under nominal conditions of temperature and voltage with the drive mounted horizontally. T he specifications in the table below are defined as follows:

• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.

• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 10,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, l ess overhead.

• Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the first data cylinder to the maximum data cylinder and back to the first data cylinder. The full-stroke average is determined by measuring 100 full-stroke seeks in both directions.
