SAFETY
Observe the following to prevent failure, malfunction or data loss.
NOTE
●Follow the specifications for 6. POWER SUPPLY (page16), 8. ENVIRONMENT (page 22, 24),
etc. when using.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the drive.
●Observe cautions in 7.3 MOUNTING INSTRUCTION (page18) and 9.5 LOAD / UNLOAD
(page28 ) when handling, setting up, or using the drive.
●Take anti-static measures in order to avoid damage to the drive when handling it.
The drive uses parts susceptible to damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge).
Wear ESD proof wrist strap in accordance with the usage specified when handling a drive that is not in an anti-static
protection bag.
●There is a certain probability of the drive causing failure including data error or data loss.
Take preventive steps such as backing up data etc. without exception in order to prevent loss etc. in cases where data
loss may result in loss or damage.
Please include this in the instruction manual etc. of the system in which this device is used and ensure that users are
made thoroughly aware of it.
●Inserting or pulling out the drive when the power is turned on may cause damage to the drive.
Exchange the drive etc. after the power of HDD is turned off.
●Extreme shock to the drive may cause damage to it, data corruption, etc..
Do not subject the drive to extreme shock such as dropping, upsetting or crashing against other objects.
●Do not touch the top cover since application of force to it may cause damage to the drive.
●Do not stack the drive on another drive or on other parts etc. or stack them on top of it during
storage or transportation.
Shock or weight may cause parts distortion etc..
●Labels and the like attached to the drive are also used as a seal for maintenance of its
performance.
Do not remove them from the drive.
●Attachment of dielectric materials such as metal powder, liquid, etc. to live parts such as printed
circuit board patterns or pins etc. may cause damage to the drive.
Avoid attachment of these materials.
●Do not place objects which generate magnetic fields such as magnets, speakers, etc. near the
drive.
Magnetism may cause damage to the drive or data loss.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH which is noted hereinafter as
“ MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH” or as “ the drive ” comprises a series of intelligent disk
drives .
The drive features an ATA-2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 interface embedded controller that requires a simplified adapter
board for interfacing to an AT or AT compatible bus. The drives employ Winchester technology and a closed
loop servo control system which have made high recording density of 149.6 M bit/mm
2
bit/in
)(MK3006GAL/MK6006GAH), 131.7 M bit/mm2(85.0G bit/in2)(MK4006GAH)and average access time
of 15 msec with highest reliability of 300,000 hours for MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) possible.
The drive is distinctive for its small and light body.
The
MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH consists of an HDA (Head Disk Assembly) and a
printed circuit board. The HDA has a sealed module which contains a disk spindle assembly, a head
actuator assembly and an air filtration system. This HDA adopts Winchester technology which enhances
high reliability. The actuator is a rotary voice coil motor which enables high-speed access.
2
(96.5G
The disk is driven directly by a DC spindle motor. Air filtration is provided by a high performance air filtration
system using both breather and circulation filters.
The drive provides a carriage lock mechanism which is activated automatically upon power down in order to
prevent head/media from being damaged when it is not operating or under shipment.
The printed circuit board which is set externally to the HDA and equipped with all the electric circuitry
necessary to operate the drive except the head drivers . The power supply and interface signal connectors
are mounted on the board. Only the head control IC’s are located within the HDA. The circuitry perform the
following functions:
Read/Write, Task File Control, Spindle Motor Control, Seek and Head Positioning Servo Control, Abnormal
Condition Detection and Shock Sensor Control.

SAFETY
●There is a certain probability of the drive causing failure including data error or data
loss.
Take preventive steps such as backing up data etc. without exception in order to
■Do not disassemble, remodel or repair.
Disassembly, remodeling or repair may cause injury,
failure, or data loss.
NOTE
prevent loss etc. in cases where data loss may result in loss or damage.
●Do not touch the top cover since application of force to it may cause damage to the
drive.
●Do not stack the drive on another drive or on other parts etc. or stack them on top of
it during storage or transportation.
Shock or weight may cause parts distortion etc..
●Labels and the like attached to the drive are also used as hermetic sealing for
maintenance of its performance.
Do not remove them from the drive.

SAFETY
●Take anti-static measures in order to avoid damage to the drive when handling it.
The drive uses parts susceptible to damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge).
Wear ESD proof wrist strap in accordance with the usage specified when handling
a drive that is not in an anti-static protection bag.
●Extreme shock to the drive may cause damage to it, data corruption, etc..
Do not subject the drive to extreme shock such as dropping, upsetting or crashing
against other objects.
NOTE
●Do not place objects which generate magnetic fields such as magnets, speakers,
etc. near the drive.
Magnetism may cause damage to the drive or data loss.

7.3.1 Installation
1) The drive should be interconnected of mounted carefully on the surface of 0.1mm or less flatness to avoid
excessive distortion.
2) The drive can be easily damaged by shocks. In order to prevent the damege, avoid giving shock to the
drive.
3) Don’t apply any force to the top cover.
4) The drive contains several parts which may be easily damaged by ESD(Electric Static Discharge). Avoid
touching the interface connector pins and surface of PCB.
5) The temperature of top cover and the base must always be kept under 65°C to maintain the required
reliability. (If the drive runs continuousely or spins-up frequently, the temperature of the top cover may rise
to 15°C maximum. If the drive is used in ambient temperature of 50 °C or more, it should be kept where
adequate ventilation is available to keep the temperature of top cover under 65°C)
6) Be careful when removing the drive from the host device. The drive may have heated up during operation.
7) Do not disassemble, modify or repair.
8) A rattle heard when the drive is moved is not a sign of failure.
9) Provision for tying the DC logic ground and the chassis ground together or for separating these ground is
user specific.
Agreeable locations of chassis ground are in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

9. RELIABILITY
A failure is defined as an inability of the drive to perform its specified function described in the requirements
of this document when being operated under the normal conditions or conditions specified in this document.
However , damages caused by operation mistake, mishandling, accidents, system errors and other
damages that can be induced by the customers are not defined as failure.
.
9.1 Error Rate

9.2 Product Life
Approximately 5 years or 20,000 power on hours whichever comes earlier under the following conditions.
- Power on hours (note1) : Less than 333 hours/month
- Operating (note2) : Less than 20% of power on hour
- Number of seek : 1.30 x 10
- Enviroment : Normal ( 25oC, 101.3 kPa ( 1,013 mb ) )
- Do not apply electrical static discharge, vibration and shock to the drive.
- Do not press top cover and bottom PCBA surface of the drive.
- All others condition should be within specification shown in section 6/7/8/9.
(note1) Power on hour includes sleep and standby mode.

9.5 Load/Unload
Be sure to issue and complete the following commands for unloading before cutting off the power
supply.
Following table shows the specification for normal load/unload cycles.
Load/unload cycle (Times) Environment
600,000 Room temperature
300,000 Operational temperature range
Unload is executed by the following commands :
・Standby
・Standby Immediate
・Sleep
・Hard reset
Load/Unload is also executed as one of the idle modes of the drive.
If power is removed from the drive while the heads are over the media an Emergency
Unload will take place. An Emergency Unload is performed by routing the back-EMF
of the spindle motor to the actuator voice coil. An Emergency Unload is mechanically
much more stressful to this drive than a controlled Unload. The minimum number of
Emergency Unloads that can be successfully performed is 20,000. Emergency Unload
should only be performed when it is not possible to perform a controlled Unload.
