Preface

This manual describes the MHL Series and MHM Series, 2.5-inch hard disk drives.

These drives have a built-in controller that is compatible with the ATA interface.

This manual describes the specifications and functions of the drives and explains in

detail how to incorporate the drives into user systems. This manual assumes that

the reader has a basic knowledge of hard disk drives and their implementations in

computer systems.

This manual consists of seven chapters and sections explaining the special

terminology and abbreviations used in this manual:
