www.seagate.com Introduction

1.1.1 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.

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.

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: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment”

specification. The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

1.2.5.4 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoiceTM

Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for

reduced power consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from

highest power consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time)

as follows: Idle_a power >= Idle_b power >= Idle_c power >= Standby_z power. The further users go down in the

table, the more power savings is actualized. For example, Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a

power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and

saved settings persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time

of manufacture, the default, saved and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer

values may be customized and enabled using the Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the

standardized Set Features command interface.

Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power

Condition" subcommand to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Immediate

and Idle Immediate also provide a method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)

Power on reset

+5v = 250 mV pp from 100 Hz to 20 MHz.

+12v = 800 mV pp from 100 Hz to 8 KHz.

Default power condition timer values have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A

minimum timer value threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive maintenance

activities occur. Attempting to set a timer values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in

an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer" subcommand.

Setting power condition timer values less than the manufacturer specified defaults or issuing the EPC "Go to Power

1.2.7 Acoustics

Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All measurements

are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions

over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.

NOTE For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks

per second is defined by the following equation:

(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time

)

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification,

which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

1.2.8 Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is

the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern

tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios

according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

1.2.9 Electromagnetic immunity

When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in

performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:

1.2.10 Reliability

1.2.10.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.87% (MTBF of 1,000,000 hours) over a 5 year

service life when used in Enterprise Storage field conditions as limited by the following:

8760 power-on hours per year.

HDA temperature as reported by the drive <= 30°C

Ambient wet bulb temp <= 26°C

Typical workload

The AFR (MTBF) is a population statistic not relevant to individual units

ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards (as

measured at the device)

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal drive

temperature and humidity. Occasional excursions in operating conditions between the rated MTBF conditions and

the maximum drive operating conditions may occur without significant impact to the rated MTBF. However continual

or sustained operation beyond the rated MTBF conditions will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

1.2.11 Agency and Safety Certifications

Each Hard Drive and Solid State Drive ("drives") has a product label that includes certifications that are applicable to

that specific drive. The following information provides an overview of requirements that may be applicable to the

drive.

1.2.11.1 Safety certification

The drives are recognized in accordance with UL/cUL 62368 -1 and EN 62368 -1.

1.2.11.2 Regulatory Models

The following regulatory model number represent all features and configurations within the series:

Regulatory Model Numbers: STL006

Nonrecoverable read errors 1 per 1015 bits read, max

Load unload cycles 600,000 cycles

Maximum Rated Workload Maximum rate of <180TB/year

Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the drive MTBF and impact product

reliability. The Annualized Workload Rate is in units of TB per year, or TB per 8760 power on hours.

Workload Rate = TB transferred * (8760 / recorded power on hours).

1.2.12.3 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.

1.2.13 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 hard disk drives are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate

contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. 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.

number is required to determine remaining warranty information.

Shipping

When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep the original box. Seagate

approved containers are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved

container voids the drive warranty.

Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in transit.

Contact the authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-

ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.

Storage

Maximum storage periods are 180 days within original unopened Seagate shipping package or 60 days unpackaged

within the defined non-operating limits (refer to environmental section in this manual). Storage can be extended to 1

year packaged or unpackaged under optimal environmental conditions (25°C, <40% relative humidity non-

condensing, and non-corrosive environment). During any storage period the drive non-operational temperature,

humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field specifications should be

followed.

Product repair and return information

Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not

sanction any third-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the

warranty.

www.seagate.com Configuring and mounting the drive

1.3 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

1.3.1 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:

1.3.2 Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/

slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. 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.

1.3.3 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).

See Table 8 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

illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. IronWolf Serial ATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

Caution

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground oneself 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.

1.3.4 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. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions

when mounting the drive:

Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 in (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).

1.3.4.1 Mechanical specifications

Refer to Figure 3 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 1.3.4, “Drive mounting.”

NOTE These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8301

and SFF-8323, found at www.snia.org/technology-communities/sff/specifications.

1.4 Serial ATA (SATA) interface

These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA

programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6.

For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment”

specification.

1.4.1 Hot-Plug compatibility

IronWolf Serial ATA drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the

Serial ATA Revision 3.3 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Caution:

The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 1.2.4)

prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

1.4.2 Serial ATA device plug connector pin definitions

Notes:

1. All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27mm (0.050”) pitch.

2. The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the

mating sequences are:

• the ground pins P4 and P12.

• the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins.

• the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.

3. There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge when installed in a

blind-mate backplane configuration.

4. All used voltage pins (Vx) must be terminated.

1.4.3 Supported ATA commands

The following table lists Serial ATA standard commands that the drive supports. For a detailed description of the ATA

commands, refer to the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment specification. See “S.M.A.R.T. commands”

1.4.3.3 Set Features command

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:

NOTE At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the

features are as indicated above.

1.4.3.4 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.

NOTE If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is

aborted and 0x 04 (abort) is written to the Error register.
