ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 1 Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the ST310014ACE. This drive provides the following key features: • Low power consumption • High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 100 Mbytes 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)

Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifi-
cations for the ST310014ACE. This drive provides the following key
features:
Low power consumption
High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 100 Mbytes 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)
