Introduction

Maxtor Corporation

Maxtor Corporation has been providing high-quality computer storage products since 1982. Along the way,

we’ve seen many changes in data storage needs. Not long ago, only a handful of specific users needed more than

a couple hundred megabytes of storage. Today, downloading from the Internet and CD-ROMs, multimedia,

networking and advanced office applications are driving storage needs even higher. Even home PC applications

need capacities measured in gigabytes, not megabytes.

Products

Maxtor’s products meet those demanding storage capacity requirements with room to spare. They feature

proven compatibility and reliability. While DiamondMax®VL 20 is the latest addition to our family of high

performance 5,400 RPM desktop hard drives, DiamondMax®40 series hard drives deliver industry-leading

capacity and performance for demanding desktop and workstation applications.

Support

No matter which capacity, all Maxtor hard drives are supported by our commitment to total customer

satisfaction and our No Quibble®Service guarantee. One call – or a visit to our home page on the Internet

(http://www.maxtor.com) – puts you in touch with either technical support or customer service. We’ll

provide you the information you need quickly, accurately and in the form you prefer – a fax, a downloaded

file or a conversation with a representative.

DIAMONDMAX VL 20 – INTRODUCTION

1 – 2

Conventions

If there is a conflict between text and tables, the table shall be accepted as being correct.

Key Words

The names of abbreviations, commands, fields and acronyms used as signal names are in all uppercase type

(e.g., IDENTIFY DRIVE). Fields containing only one bit are usually referred to as the “name” bit instead of

the “name” field.

Names of drive registers begin with a capital letter (e.g., Cylinder High register).

Numbering

Numbers that are not followed by a lowercase “b” or “h” are decimal values. Numbers that are followed by

a lowercase “b” (e.g., 01b) are binary values. Numbers that are followed by a lowercase “h” (e.g., 3Ah) are

hexadecimal values.

Signal Conventions

Signal names are shown in all uppercase type.

All signals are either high active or low active signals. A dash character (-) at the end of a signal name

indicates that the signal is low active. A low active signal is true when it is below ViL and is false when it is

above ViH. A signal without a dash at the end indicates that the signal is high active. A high active signal is

true when it is above ViH and is false when it is below ViL.

When a signal is asserted, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its true state.

When a signal is negated, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its false state.

When a signal is released, it means the signal is not actively driven to any state. 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.

Product Description

Maxtor DiamondMax®VL 20 AT disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices

which incorporate an on-board ATA-5/Ultra DMA 66 controller. High capacity is achieved by a balanced

combination of high areal recording density and the latest data encoding and servo techniques.

Maxtor's latest advancements in electronic packaging and integration methods have lowered the drive's power

consumption and increased its reliability. Advanced giant magneto-resistive read/write heads and a state-of-the-art

head/disk assembly - using an integrated motor/spindle design - allow up to four disks in a 3.5-inch package.

The new DiamondMax VL 20 (Value Line) series from Maxtor are 1- and 2-disk products expressly designed for

entry-level commercial systems and consumer electronics applications where disk storage value is paramount.

Available in capacities up to 20 GB, the VL series provides the proven quality and reliability of the original

DiamondMax products and includes an UltraDMA 66 interface, 512 KB buffer and 9.5 ms seek performance.

DiamondMax VL 20 Key Features

ANSI ATA-5 compliant PIO Mode 4 interface (Enhanced IDE)

Supports Ultra DMA Mode 4 for up to 66.7 MB/sec data transfers

512 KB buffer with multi-adaptive cache manager

5,400 RPM spin speed

9.5 ms seek time

Zone density and I.D.-less recording

Outstanding shock resistance at 250 Gs

High durability with 50K contact start/stop cycles

Advanced multi-burst on-the-fly Error Correction Code (ECC)

Extended data integrity with ECC protected data and fault tolerant servo synchronization fields

Supports EPA Energy Star Standards (Green PC Friendly) with ATA powering savings commands

Auto park and lock actuator mechanism

Low power consumption

S.M.A.R.T. Capability

Note: Maxtor defines one megabyte as 10

or one million bytes and one gigabyte as 10

or one billion bytes.
