Some signals have bias circuitry that pull the signal to either a true or false state when no signal driver is actively asserting or negating the signal. These instances are noted under the description of the signal. Maxtor DiamondMax16 60/80/120/160GB...

    16 60/80/120/160 hard disk drive, as well as the applicable standards and regulations. Product Overview Maxtor hard disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices which incorporate an on-board Ultra ATA/133 interface controller. High capacity is achieved by a balanced combination of high areal recording density and the latest data encoding and servo techniques.

  • Page 13: Cache Management

    A disk write task begins to store the host data to disk. Host write commands continue to be accepted and data transferred to the buffer until either the write command stack is full or the data buffer is full. The drive may reorder write commands to optimize drive throughput. Maxtor DiamondMax16 60/80/120/160GB...
