Preface

This manual describes the MHA2021AT and MHA2032AT, 2.5-inch hard disk

drives. These drives have a built-in controller that is compatible with the ATA

interface.

This manual describes the specifications and functions of the drives and explains

in detail how to incorporate the drives into user systems. This manual assumes

that the reader has a basic knowledge of hard disk drives and their implementations

in computer systems.

This manual consists of seven chapters and sections explaining the special

terminology and abbreviations used in this manual:

use the product more efficiently.

In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A

wider line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert

message begins and ends. The following is an example:

(Example)

Data corruption: Avoid mounting the disk drive near strong

magnetic sources such as loud speakers. Ensure that the disk drive is
