Conventions for Alert Messages  
This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert message consists of an  
alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of an alert symbol and a signal word or just a  
signal word.  
The following are the alert signals and their meanings:  
This indicates a hazardous situation likely to result in serious personal  
injury if the user does not perform the procedure correctly.  
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in personal injury if the  
user does not perform the procedure correctly.  
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in minor or moderate  
personal injury if the user does not perform the procedure correctly. This  
alert signal also indicates that damages to the product or other property,  
may occur if the user does not perform the procedure correctly.  
This indicates information that could help the user 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)  
IMPORTANT  
HA (host adapter) consists of address decoder, driver, and receiver.  
ATA is an abbreviation of "AT attachment". The disk drive is  
conformed to the ATA-4 interface  
The main alert messages in the text are also listed in the “Important Alert Items.”

Overview and features are described in this chapter, and specifications and power requirement are  
described.  
The MPG3xxxAH-E series are a 3.5-inch hard disk drive with a built-in ATA controller. The disk drive is  
compact and reliable.  
1.1  
Features  
1.1.1  
(1)  
Functions and performance  
Compact  
The disk has 1 or 2 disks of 95 mm (3.5 inches) diameter, and its height is 26.1 mm (1 inch).  
(2)  
(3)  
Large capacity  
The disk drive can record up to 20.49 GB (formatted) on one disk using the 48/52 EEPR4ML  
recording method and 15 recording zone technology. The MPG3xxxAH-E series have a formatted  
capacity of 20.49 GB to 40.99 GB respectively.  
High-speed Transfer rate  
The disk drive has an internal data rate up to 60.7 MB/s. The disk drive supports an external data  
rate up to 16.7 MB/s (PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2), 66.6 MB/s (ultra DMA mode 4) or 100MB/s  
(ultra DMA mode 5).  
C141-E116-01EN  
1 - 1  
(4)  
Average positioning time  
Use of a rotary voice coil motor in the head positioning mechanism greatly increases the  
positioning speed. The average positioning time is 8.5 ms (at read).  
1.1.2  
Adaptability  
(1)  
Power save mode  
The power save mode feature for idle operation, stand by and sleep modes makes the disk drive  
ideal for applications where power consumption is a factor.  
(2)  
(3)  
Wide temperature range  
The disk drive can be used over a wide temperature range (5°C to 55°C).  
Low noise and vibration  
In Ready status, the noise of the disk drive is only about 3.3 bels (MPG3409AH-E, Typical Sound  
Power per ISO7779 and ISO9296).  
1.1.3  
Interface  
(1)  
Connection to interface  
With the built-in ATA interface controller, the disk drive can be connected to an ATA interface of  
a personal computer.  
(2)  
(3)  
2MB data buffer  
The disk drive uses a 2MB data buffer to transfer data between the host and the disk media.  
In combination with the read-ahead cache system described in item (3) and the write cache  
described in item (6), the buffer contributes to efficient I/O processing.  
Read-ahead cache system  
After the execution of a disk read command, the disk drive automatically reads the subsequent data  
block and writes it to the data buffer (read ahead operation). This cache system enables fast data  
access. The next disk read command would normally cause another disk access. But, if the read  
ahead data corresponds to the data requested by the next read command, the data in the buffer can  
be transferred instead.  
(4)  
Master/slave  
The disk drive can be connected to ATA interface as daisy chain configuration. Drive 0 is a  
master device, drive 1 is a slave device.  
1 - 2  
C141-E116-01EN  
(5)  
(6)  
Error correction and retry by ECC  
If a recoverable error occurs, the disk drive itself attempts error recovery. The 40 bytes ECC has  
improved buffer error correction for correctable data errors.  
Write cache  
When the disk drive receives a write command, the disk drive posts the command completion at

Reliability  
(1)  
Mean time between failures (MTBF)  
The mean time between failures (MTBF) is 500,000 POH (power on hours) or more (operation: 24  
hours/day, 7 days/week).  
This does not include failures occurring during the first three months after installation.  
MTBF is defined as follows:  
Total operation time in all fields  
MTBF=  
(H)  
number of device failure in all fields  
"Disk drive defects" refers to defects that involve repair, readjustment, or replacement. Disk drive  
defects do not include failures caused by external factors, such as damage caused by handling,  
inappropriate operating environments, defects in the power supply host system, or interface cable.  
(2)  
(3)  
Mean time to repair (MTTR)  
The mean time to repair (MTTR) is 30 minutes or less, if repaired by a specialist maintenance staff  
member.  
CSS cycle  
The number of CSS must be less than 50,000.  
C141-E116-01EN  
1 - 9  
(4)  
Service life  
In situations where management and handling are correct, the disk drive requires no overhaul for  
five years when the DE surface temperature is less than 48°C. When the DE surface temperature  
exceeds 48°C, the disk drives requires no overhaul for five years or 20,000 hours of operation,  
whichever occurs first. Refer to item (3) in Subsection 3.3 for the measurement point of the DE  
surface temperature.  
(5)

(1)  
Data assurance in the event of power failure  
Except for the data block being written to, the data on the disk media is assured in the event of any  
power supply abnormalities. This does not include power supply abnormalities during disk media  
initialization (formatting) or processing of defects (alternative block assignment).  
Error Rate  
Known defects, for which alternative blocks can be assigned, are not included in the error rate  
count below. It is assumed that the data blocks to be accessed are evenly distributed on the disk  
media.  
Unrecoverable read error  
Read errors that cannot be recovered by read retries without user's retry and ECC corrections shall  
occur no more than 10 times when reading data of 1015 bits. Read retries are executed according to  
the disk drive's error recovery procedure, and include read retries accompanying head offset  
operations.  
(2)  
Positioning error  
Positioning (seek) errors that can be recovered by one retry shall occur no more than 10 times in  
107 seek operations.  
1.9  
Media Defects  
Defective sectors are replaced with alternates when the disk is formatted prior to shipment from the  
factory (low level format). Thus, the host sees a defect-free device.  
Alternate sectors are automatically accessed by the disk drive. The user need not be concerned  
with access to alternate sectors.  
Chapter 6 describes the low level format at shipping.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION

2.2  
Device Configuration  
System Configuration  
2.1  
Device Configuration  
Figure 2.1 shows the disk drive. The disk drive consists of a disk enclosure (DE), read/write  
preamplifier, and controller PCA. The disk enclosure contains the disk media, heads, spindle  
motors actuators, and a circulating air filter.  
Figure 2.1 Disk drive outerview  
C141-E116-01EN  
2 - 1  
(1)  
Disk  
The outer diameter of the disk is 95 mm. The inner diameter is 25 mm. The number of disks used  
varies with the model, as described below. The disks are rated at over 50,000 start/stop  
operations.  
MPG3204AH-E: 1 disks  
MPG3307AH-E: 2 disks  
MPG3409AH-E: 2 disks  
(2)  
Head  
The heads are of the contact start/stop (CSS) type. The head touches the disk surface while the  
disk is not rotating and automatically lifts when the disk starts.  
(3)  
(4)  
Spindle motor  
The disks are rotated by a direct drive Hall-less DC motor.  
Actuator  
The actuator uses a revolving voice coil motor (VCM) structure which consumes low power and  
generates very little heat. The head assembly at the tip of the actuator arm is controlled and  
positioned by feedback of the servo information read by the read/write head. If the power is not on  
or if the spindle motor is stopped, the head assembly stays in the specific CSS zone on the disk and  
is fixed by a mechanical lock.  
(5)  
Air circulation system  
The disk enclosure (DE) is sealed to prevent dust and dirt from entering. The disk enclosure  
features a closed loop air circulation system that relies on the blower effect of the rotating disk.  
This system continuously circulates the air through the recirculation filter to maintain the  
cleanliness of the air in the disk enclosure.  
(6)  
(7)  
Read/write circuit  
The read/write circuit uses a LSI chip for the read/write preamplifier. It improves data reliability  
by preventing errors caused by external noise.  
Controller circuit  
The controller circuit consists of a LSI chip to improve reliability. The high-speed microprocessor  
unit (MPU) achieves a high-performance AT controller.

2.2  
System Configuration  
ATA interface  
2.2.1  
Figures 2.2 and 2.3 show the ATA interface system configuration. The drive has a 40-pin PC AT  
interface connector and supports the PIO transfer till 16.7 MB/s (PIO mode 4), the DMA transfer  
till 16.7 MB/s (Multiword DMA mode 2), the ultra DMA transfer till 66.6 MB/s (Ultra DMA  
mode 4), and the ultra DMA transfer till 100 MB/s (Ultra mode 5).

IMPORTANT  
HA (host adapter) consists of address decoder, driver, and receiver.  
ATA is an abbreviation of "AT attachment". The disk drive is  
conformed to the ATA-5 interface.  
At high speed data transfer (PIO mode 3, mode 4, DMA mode 2, ultra  
DMA mode 4 or ultra DMA mode 5), occurrence of ringing or  
crosstalk of the signal lines (AT bus) between the HA and the disk drive  
may be a great cause of the obstruction of system reliability. Thus, it is  
necessary that the capacitance of the signal lines including the HA and  
cable does not exceed the ATA-3, ATA-4 and ATA-5 standard, and the  
cable length between the HA and the disk drive should be as short as  
possible.
