QUANTUM  DAYTONA DRIVES

 Overview
 --------
 The Quantum Daytona products are high-capacity 2.5-inch hard disk
 drives that provide unmatched mass storage solutions for slim sub-
 notebook and full-featured notebook computers.

 The Daytona 256 is the first device to offer subnotebook users 256 MB
 of formatted storage capacity in a 12.5-mm-high drive for subnote-
 books and a 341 MB, 19-mm-high drive for notebooks.

 All four Daytona drives bring desktop PC performance to notebook
 computing with a fast internal data transfer rate of 36 Mbits/second.
 Daytona performance benefits from a common architecture shared with
 two Quantum families of high-performance 3.5-inch drives. Matching
 features include a multi-segmented adaptive cache, local bus support
 with fast multiword DMA and AutoRead and AutoWrite technology.

 The Daytona drives leverage most strongly off the design of Quantum's
 earlier GoDrive GLS line of 2.5-inch devices. They share GLS' highly
 integrated electronics, which consists of only five chips, as well as
 its firmware base. This leveraged approach to design eases
 qualifications and improves product availability.

 The Daytona drives feature exceptional ruggendness with a very high
 level of protection against non-operating shock. For energy
 efficiency, the drives comply with industry standards on power
 consimption, drawing only 0.2 watts of power in standby mode.


 Reliability Features
 ====================

 ShockLock Pivoting Magnetic Latch
 ---------------------------------
 An innovative pivoting magnetic latch protects the drives from short-
 duration, non-operating shocks as high as 300 Gs, which is the high-
 est level of protection offered by 2.5-inch disk drives. The magnetic
 latch swings away from the drive's actuator to eliminate disturbances
 when inner tracks are read.


 Error Correction Code (ECC) On-the-Fly
 --------------------------------------
 The Daytona product use a custom ASIC to implement a state-of-the-art
 error correction code that maintains data integrity at high through-
 put rates.


 Performance Features
 ====================

 Adaptive Segmentation
 ---------------------
 The Daytona products feature Adaptive segmentation for more efficient
 cache use. With this feature, the buffer space needed for read and
 write operations is dynamically allocated, which yields higher
 throughput from a given buffer side.


 DisCache and WriteCache Firmware
 --------------------------------
 DisCache firmware optimizes disk drive performance by speeding data
 access times and data retrieval, and increasing throughput. Quantum's
 proprietary WriteCache firmware allows the host-to-buffer transfer of
 data to occur while the buffer-to-disk transfer of a prior command is
 still executing.

 Upper 32 KB Buffer used for firmware.


 Power Conservation Features
 ===========================

 StackWrite Firmware
 -------------------
 StackWrite firmware can save up to 13 percent of battery power while
 providing faster system response. The unique firmware accumulates
 write requests in buffer memory instead of directly onto the disk
 when the Daytona drives are in standby mode under battery power.


 AutoIdle and AutoPark
 ---------------------
 To conserve battery power, the actuator motor on the Daytona products
 can be shut down after five seconds of inactivity - without host
 intervention. With the new AutoPark mode, Daytona's heads are auto-
 matically parked over the dedicated landing zone when AutoIdle is
 initiated.


 ATA Compliance
 --------------
 Daytona drives with an AT interface incorporate all the energy-
 efficient modes defined by ATA/CAM (AT Attachment/Common Access
 Method).


 Versatility Features
 ====================

 MCC Compatibility
 -----------------
 The Daytona disk drives conform to the latest standards of the
 Manufactures Compatibility Committee (MCC). As a result, the drives
 can easily slide into position and connect directly to a hard-mounted
 connector on a notebook's motherboard.


 AT Bus Cable Select Hardware
 ----------------------------
 Automatic cable-select hardware simplifies disk drive installation by
 eliminating the need for a physical master/slave jumper. This is
 ideal for removable drive applications, when the same Daytona drive
 is a master in a notebook computer and a slave when used with a
 desktop computer.
