Category:Western Digital Marvell Pinnacle

This category lists all Western Digital drives that are members of the WD Marvell family Pinnacle. Pinnacle succeeds STG Twin Lakes, increasing density from 250 to 320 GB/platter. Compared to its successor, Pinnacle is very similar to STG Twin Lakes, even keeping the same R/N, using the same spindle motor as STG Twin Lakes and also integrating its cache RAM into the MCU. Pinnacle received two successor families; the Cypress family trades the MCU for a Western Digital in house WD70SC56-G one and splits the MCU and RAM into separate chips. It existed only in small quantities. Pinclite was a much more mainstream family that introduced a brand new PCB design that returns to a Marvell made MCU once and for all.
