'Cuda V 120GB 8MB Cache PATA (ST3120024A) has AAM?
Posted: Fri May 09, 2003 8:48 am
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!

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?
