Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 5 3.0 General description Barracuda 4LP drives combine magnetoresistive (MR) heads, partial response/maximum likelihood (PRML) read channel electronics, embedded servo technology, and a SCSI-3 (Fast-20) interface to provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Fast-20 (also known as Ultra SCSI) is a negotiated transfer rate. This transfer rate will occur only if your host adapter also supports Fast-20 data transfer rates. This drive also operates at SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 data transfer rates for backward compatibility with non-Fast-20 capable SCSI host adapters. Table 1 lists the features that differentiate the various Barracuda 4LP SCSI-3 Fast-20 (Ultra SCSI) models.

General description
Barracuda 4LP drives combine magnetoresistive (MR) heads, partial response/maximum likelihood (PRML)
read channel electronics, embedded servo technology, and a SCSI-3 (Fast-20) interface to provide high perfor-
mance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network serv-
ers, mainframes, and supercomputers.
Fast-20 (also known as Ultra SCSI) is a negotiated transfer rate. This transfer rate will occur only if your host
adapter also supports Fast-20 data transfer rates. This drive also operates at SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 data transfer
rates for backward compatibility with non-Fast-20 capable SCSI host adapters.
Table 1 lists the features that differentiate the various Barracuda 4LP SCSI-3 Fast-20 (Ultra SCSI) models.

Drive model number vs. differentiating features
The drive records and recovers data on 3.5-inch (86 mm) non-removeable discs.
The drive supports the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI-2 interface
specifications to the extent described in this manual (volume 1), which defines the product performance char-
acteristics of the Barracuda 4LP family of drives, and the
SCSI Interface Product Manual
(volume 2), part num-
ber 77738479, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI
drives.
