This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the ST310014ACE. This drive provides the following key
features:
• Low power consumption
• High instantane ous (bur st) dat a-trans fer rate s (up to 100 Mb yte s per
second) using Ultra DMA mode 5
• Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) recording heads and GPRML technol-
ogy, which 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
• 350 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 drive self-test (DST) with S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line
Immediate
• Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands
• Support for autodetection of master/slave drives that use cable select
(CSEL)
