    Barracuda 2LP Product Manual, Rev. D General description Barracuda drives are low-cost, high-performance, random-access storage devices designed to meet the needs of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) marketplace. The Barracuda drive’s interface supports disconnect/reconnect, multiple initiators, self-configuring host software, and automatic features that relieve the host from knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical block addressing is used).
  • Page 16 Barracuda 2LP Product Manual, Rev. D Barracuda drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the landing zone when the power is removed.

    They are designed to be connected directly to a back panel . 11.7.1.2.3 General cable characteristics Note. Use only non-shielded cable connectors with ST31250N/ND and ST32550N/ND drives. Use a 50-conductor flat cable or 25-conductor twisted-pair cable. Use a minimum conductor size of 28 AWG to minimize noise effects.

    These signals must be terminated with 110 ohm active terminator circuits at each end of the total cable. Single-ended circuits use open collector or three-state drivers. ST31250N, ST31250W, ST32550N and ST32550W drives can be configured to provide the SCSI termination.

All single initiator/single target (non-daisy-chain) applications require you to terminate the initiator and drive.
