Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifi-

cations for the Medalist®2520 hard disc drive. This drive is referred to

throughout this manual by its model number, ST32520A.

Seagate®desktopproductstakeastepintothefuturewiththeST32520A.

The drive featuresadvanced thin-filmproximity headsand PRMLrecord-

ing technology, Ultra ATA performance, segmented cache, embedded

servo technology, low noise, power management and S.M.A.R.T. capa-

bilities.

Ultra ATA performance means that the drive supports PIO mode 4,

multiword DMA mode 2 transfer modes and synchronous DMA mode.

When the host chooses Ultra DMA mode 2, the drive provides burst-

transfer rates of up to 33.3 Mbytes per second. The drive supports

multiple block read/write, which allows it to store contiguous blocks of

datainits256-Kbytesegmentedcacheandtransfertheblocksinasingle

burst.

The ST32520A has other features that ensure fast data throughput.

Embeddedservotechnologyallowthedrivetopositiontheheadsfordata

retrieval efficiently and accurately while eliminating the periodic thermal

recalibration that can interrupt during data transfers. An intelligent con-

troller provides data streaming: direct data transfers between the drive

and the host without microprocessor intervention. These features allow

for asustaineddata-transferratethatfacilitatesvideoplayback andother

multimedia operations.

The drive supports Active, Idle and Standbypower-managementmodes.

Power-saving modes can be controlled by the host computer. Standby

modereducespowerconsumptionto1.618watts(typical)whileretaining

drive accessibility.

Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is

available on the drive. This feature is discussed on page 35. To use the

feature, you must have a BIOS, a software driver or application software

that supports S.M.A.R.T.

The ATA commands with specific applications for the drive and the

Seagate-unique commands the drive uses are discussed in Section 3.0

on page 25. A complete list of the commands the drive supports is found

in the table on page 27.
