DiamondMax 21 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. C 1
1.0 Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following DiamondMax
®
21 Serial ATA model drives:
These drives provide the following key features:
• 7,200 RPM spindle speed.
• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 300 Mbytes per second).
• Perpendicular recording, Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) recording heads and EPRML technology, for
increased areal density.
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
• Native Command Queueing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.
• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.
• Quiet operation.
• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.
