An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur-
ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock automatically disengages when power is applied to the drive and 
the head load process begins.

A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides 
excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

The Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI family has the following standard features:

• Perpendicular recording technology.

• Integrated Ultra320 SCSI interface.

• Multimode SCSI drivers and receivers—single-ended (SE) and low voltage differential (LVD)

• 16 bit I/O data bus

• Asynchronous and synchronous data transfer protocol

• Firmware downloadable via SCSI interface

• Selectable even byte sector sizes from

512 to 528 bytes/sector

• Programmable sector reallocation scheme

• Flawed sector reallocation at format time

• Programmable auto write and read reallocation

• Reallocation of defects on command (post format)

• ECC burst correction length of up to

400.

• Sealed head and disc assembly

• No preventative maintenance or adjustment required

• Dedicated head landing zone

• Embedded servo design

• Self diagnostics performed when power is applied to the drive

• Zoned bit recording (ZBR)

• Vertical, horizontal, or top down mounting

• Dynamic spindle brake

• 16,384 kbytes data buffer

• Hot plug compatibility (Section 10.6.4.2 lists proper host connector needed) for LC model drives

• Drive Self Test (DST)

• Supports SCSI bus fairness

The media used on the drive has an aluminum substrate coated with a thin film magnetic material, overcoated 
with a proprietary protective layer for improved durability and environmental protection.
