Introduction 
Drive overview  
The Seagate® STT3401A and STT2401A extend the Seagate family of one-inch 
high Travan drives that feature high performance, high reliability, and quiet operation. 
The drives transfer data at up to 120 megabytes per minute (Mbytes/min) without 
compression.  
With optimal system resources and compressible data structures, nominal transfer 
rates of up to 240 Mbytes per minute can be obtained using software data 
compression (assuming a 2:1 compression ratio). The compression ratio is 
dependent on the specific system and the nature of the files being compressed. 
These drives are internal devices, providing affordable storage in either 3.5-inch 
(STT3401A) or half-high 5.25-inch (STT2401A) form factors, for easy installation in 
today's computers. 
Key features 
• 
Automated cartridge loading: When a cartridge is inserted into the drive, it is 
automatically drawn into the drive mechanism. The cartridge is fully loaded within 
the drive and does not extend beyond the front of the bezel during operation. 
Pressing the Eject button causes the drive to unload the cartridge until it extends 
out about one inch beyond the bezel. 
• 
Backward read-compatible with Industry Standard QIC-3220-MC Travan
