'Cuda V 120GB 8MB Cache PATA (ST3120024A) has AAM?
I'm building a new P4 2.8C system this month, and had planned to purchase the 'Cuda V PATA 120GB w/ 8MB cache (ST3120024A). I've read about the AAM lawsuit and how it's not enabled w/ the new SATA and 7200.7 drives. Even though some posts here indicated that AAM was enabled on the PATA versions (in particular the ST3120024A), I was worried. I wrote Seagate (text below), who replied that the drive does not support AAM. Can anyone who's purchased a ST3120024A _recently_ refute this? Thanks!
Hoping for a quiet HD,

Hello,
This drive does not support acoustic management. There are also no
utilities available from Seagate to manage the acoustics on this drive
family.

Dear Seagate,
I've read a great deal lately about how the new 7200.7 and Barracuda V
SATA's
are shipping with AAM disabled. Can the 120GB 8MB cache PATA Barracuda V
(ST3120024A) do AAM?

ok sooo?
the ibm/hitachi drives do have this contested technology and continue to use it? if compaq and seagate were told to stop, who's still using it?
