5.5 Ultra DMA Feature Set

5.5.4 Ultra DMA data out commands

5.5.4.1 Initiating an Ultra DMA data out burst

The following steps shall occur in the order they are listed unless otherwise specifically allowed (see 5.6.3.7 and 5.6.3.2 for specific timing requirements):

1)The host shall keep DMACK- in the negated state before an Ultra DMA burst is initiated.

2)The device shall assert DMARQ to initiate an Ultra DMA burst.

3)Steps (3), (4), and (5) may occur in any order or at the same time. The host shall assert STOP.

4)The host shall assert HSTROBE.

5)The host shall negate CS0-, CS1-, DA2, DA1, and DA0. The host shall keep CS0-, CS1-, DA2, DA1, and DA0 negated until after negating DMACK- at the end of the burst.

6)Steps (3), (4), and (5) shall have occurred at least tACK before the host asserts DMACK-. The host shall keep DMACK- asserted until the end of an Ultra DMA burst.

7)The device may negate DDMARDY- tZIORDY after the host has asserted DMACK-. Once the device has negated DDMARDY-, the device shall not release DDMARDY- until after the host has negated DMACK- at the end of an Ultra DMA burst.

8)The host shall negate STOP within tENV after asserting DMACK-. The host shall not assert STOP until after the first negation of HSTROBE.

9)The device shall assert DDMARDY- within tLI after the host has negated STOP. After asserting DMARQ and DDMARDY- the device shall not negate either signal until after the first negation of HSTROBE by the host.

10)The host shall drive the first word of the data transfer onto DD (15:0). This step may occur any time during Ultra DMA burst initiation.

11)To transfer the first word of data: the host shall negate HSTROBE no sooner

than tLI after the device has asserted DDMARDY-. The host shall negate HSTROBE no sooner than tDVS after the driving the first word of data onto DD (15:0).

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
