Seagate FireCuda Product Manual, Rev. H 6
1.0 Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate® FireCuda™ model drives:
These drives provide the following key features:
• 1000 Gs non-operating shock and 400 Gs of operating shock.
• 128MB buffer.
• 5400-RPM spindle speed.
• Flash-accelerated drives combining 8GB NAND technology with massive HDD storage capacity up to 2TB.
• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.
• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 6Gb/s).
• MTC TechnologyTM, proprietary data flow management.
• Native Command Queuing (NCQ) with command ordering.
• Quiet operation. Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor.
• SeaToolsTM diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
• Shingled magnetic recording with perpendicular magnetic recording heads/media.
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
• Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.
1.1 About the Serial ATA Interface
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include:
• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.
• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
• Scalability to higher performance levels.
In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow users to
install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as normal.
The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating
system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0
(master) devices.
The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing
host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.
The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the Shadow
Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to
the Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA (Revision 2.6). The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Note
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on separate Serial ATA ports
are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host
adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

2.7.4 Power management modes
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, power management is controlled
through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:
•Active mode
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.
nIdle mode
The electronics remains powered, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.
•Standby mode
The drive enters Standby mode immediately when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the
drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is
established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the electronics are in low power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is
at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.
nSleep mode
The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the electronics are in low power mode, the heads
are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset,
the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode.
nIdle and standby timers
Each time the drive performs an active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins counting down from its
specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode.
In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.

2.11 Reliability
2.11.1 Data loss under power interruption with write cache enabled
Drive preserves its data during all operations except in cases where power to the drive is interrupted during write operations. This
could result in either an uncorrected data error being reported, or the entire sector/track becoming unreadable. This can be
permanently recovered by rewriting to the same location on the drive. Additionally any data present in the DRAM buffer will not be
written to the disk media, additionally, the drive will not be able to return the original data.
In order to prevent this data loss, the host should issue a standby immediate or flush cache command before a controlled power off
operation to the drive.

2.14.3 Taiwan Requirements — Taiwan RoHS
Taiwan RoHS refers to the Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection’s (BSMI) requirements in standard CNS 15663, Guidance to
reduction of the restricted chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Seagate products must comply with the “Marking of
presence” requirements in Section 5 of CNS 15663, effective January 1, 2018. This product is Taiwan RoHS compliant.
The following table meets the Section 5 “Marking of presence” requirements.
2.15 Corrosive Environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments
containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every
potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive
component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are
especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic
components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient
relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should
be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free
alternatives.
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous contamination
should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1
Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.

3.0 Configuring and Mounting the Drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.
3.1 Handling and Static-Discharge Precautions
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the
following standard handling and static-discharge precautions.
3.2 Configuring the Drive
Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter,
the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0
(master) devices.
3.2.1 Serial ATA Cables and Connectors
The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26
AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). Refer to Table 11 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be
attached to the drive or host.
For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host receptacle incorporate
features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable. For installations which require cables, users can connect the
drive as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Attaching SATA Cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation.
CAUTION
• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until ready for installation to limit the
drive’s exposure to ESD.
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by
touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a
grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.
• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.
• The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.
• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until mounting it in the computer.
• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional
labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information
needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

Configuring and Mounting
3.3 Drive Grounding
Care should be taken when mounting the drive in a system chassis. The drive should be mounted using four screws in the side
mounting holes (positions A, B, C, and D as in Figure 4 and Figure 5) or bottom mounting holes (positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 as in Figure
5) grounded to the system chassis. At least one mounting screw is required for proper grounding. See Figure 4 for drive grounding
using four screws in the side mounting holes and Figure 5 for drive grounding using four screws in the bottom mounting holes. The
sidewall surfaces A1, A2, A3 (cross-hatched green shaded areas as in Figure 4) and the green highlighted area (as labeled in Figure 5)
should not be used for system grounding purposes.
Figure 4 Drive Grounding Side Mounting for 1-disk and 2-disk models)
The green highlighted area (PCBA as in Figure 5) should never make contact with the system chassis to prevent electrical shorting of
the drive. Contact must be limited to side mounting holes (positions A, B, C, and D as in Figure 4 and Figure 5) or bottom mounting
holes (positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 as in Figure 5).
Figure 5 Drive Grounding Bottom Mounting for 1-disk and 2-disk models
Notes:
• Side Mounting - Use four metal screws in positions A, B, C, and D.
• Bottom Mounting - Use four metal screws in positions 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• Do NOT use sides A1, A2 or A3 for grounding purposes.
• If less than four screws are used, at least one mounting screw is required for proper grounding.

Configuring and Mounting
3.4 Drive Mounting
Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. Refer to
Figure 6 through Figure 8 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
• Use only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb (0.4519 N-m).
• Four (4) threads (0.080 in, 2.032 mm) minimum screw engagement recommended.
• Avoid excessive drive distortion when mounting. Refer to the following specifications for stiffness/deflection information:

This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks
the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive
supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled.
The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:

4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined drive attributes that
are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host.
Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T.
commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-5 Standard.
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4H) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. The
diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/.
This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this
feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
