When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different
standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage.
Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment
and other factors. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for
more information, visit www.bis.doc.gov), and controlled for import and use outside of the U.S. Seagate reserves the right to change, without notice, product offerings or specifications.

Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 13
2.0 General description
Exos 7E2000 SAS drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network
servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. The Serial Attached SCSI interface is designed to meet next-generation computing demands for
performance, scalability, flexibility and high-density storage requirements.
Exos 7E2000 v3 drives are random access storage devices designed to support the Serial Attached SCSI Protocol as described in the ANSI
specifications, this document, and the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) which describes the general interface characteristics of this
drive. Exos 7E2000 v3 drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.
The SAS connectors, cables and electrical interface are compatible with Serial ATA (SATA), giving future users the choice of populating their systems
with either SAS or SATA hard disk drives. This allows integrators to continue to leverage existing investment in SCSI while gaining a 12Gb/s serial
data transfer rate.
The Self-Encrypting Drive models indicated on the cover of this product manual have provisions for “Security of Data at Rest” based on the
standards defined by the Trusted Computing Group (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).
The head and disk assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HDA through a non-replaceable filter to maintain a
contamination-free HDA environment.
Exos 7E2000 v3 drives use a dedicated load/unload zone at the outermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or
degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the ramp load/unload when power is removed from the drive and
during the deeper sleep modes.
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and handling. The
shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is applied to the drive.
These drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and
related reliability concerns.
The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent
performance with minimal power dissipation.

2.5 Formatted capacities
Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block for 512E (emulation) and 512N (native) drives and 4096 bytes per block for 4096N
(native) drives. The block size is selectable at format time. Supported block sizes are 512, 520, 524, and 528 for 512E and 512N drives and 4096, 4160,
4192, and 4224 for 4096N drives. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before issuing a format command and
obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.
To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate recommends product
planning in one of two modes:
Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet. We recommend
customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from
generation to generation. The current guaranteed operating points for this product are:
2.6 Programmable drive capacity
Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select (6) parameter list table
in the SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. A value of zero in the Number of Blocks field indicates that the drive will not change the
capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number other than zero and less than the maximum number of LBAs in the Number of Blocks field
changes the total drive capacity to the value in the Number of Blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to
the maximum capacity.
2.7 Factory-installed options
The following items may be ordered which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged before shipping. Some of
the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options):
• Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested.
• Single-unit shipping pack. The drive is normally shipped in bulk packaging to provide maximum protection against transit damage. Units
shipped individually require additional protection as provided by the single unit shipping pack. Users planning single unit distribution should
specify this option.
•The Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512, is usually included with each standard OEM drive shipped, but extra
copies may be ordered.

Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 17
3.3 Start/stop time
The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied.
If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit
equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive, the drive
waits for a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1. After receiving a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1, the
drive waits for a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive. After receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port, the drive becomes
ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
The START STOP UNIT command may be used to command the drive to stop the spindle. Stop time is 20 seconds (maximum) from removal of DC
power. SCSI stop time is 20 seconds. There is no power control switch on the drive. However, power can be cycled on the drive by utilizing SAS
Power Disable feature defined by T10 (i.e. drive Pin 3 high).
3.4 Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system
performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode
Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in page 08h. Prefetch and cache operations are independent features from the
standpoint that each is enabled and disabled independently using the Mode Select command; however, in actual operation, the prefetch feature
overlaps cache operation somewhat as described in sections 3.5.1 and 3.5.2.
All default cache and prefetch mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive family are given in Section 10.3.2.
3.5 Cache operation
Of the 128MB physical buffer space in the drive, approximately 60,000KB are available as a data cache. The remaining buffer space is reserved for
internal drive use.
The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If the cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the SAS
Interface Manual ), data requested by the host with a read command is retrieved from the buffer, if possible, before any disk access is initiated. If
cache operation is not enabled, the buffer is still used, but only as circular buffer segments during disk medium read operations (disregarding
Prefetch operation for the moment). That is, the drive does not check in the buffer segments for the requested read data, but goes directly to the
medium to retrieve it. The retrieved data merely passes through some buffer segment on the way to the host. All data transfers to the host are in
accordance with buffer-full ratio rules. See the explanation provided with the information about Mode Page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in
the SAS Interface Manual.
The following is a simplified description of the prefetch/cache operation:
Case A—read command is received and all of the requested logical blocks are already in the cache:
1. Drive transfers the requested logical blocks to the initiator.
Case B—A Read command requests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of the cache:
1. The drive fetches the requested logical blocks from the disk and transfers them into a segment, and then from there to the host in accordance
with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.
2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 3.5.2 for operation from this point.
Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circular buffer whose length is an integer number of logical blocks. The drive dynamically creates
and removes segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall
performance.
Note Refer to the SAS Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.
Note
The size of each segment is not reported by Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15.
The value 0XFFFF is always reported regardless of the actual size of the segment. Sending a size
specification using the Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) does not set up a new segment
size. If the STRICT bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the drive responds as it does
for any attempt to change an unchangeable parameter.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 18
3.5.1 Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored
while the drive performs the Write command. WCE=0 provides NVC-protected write caching over a small portion of the DRAM.
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made available for future read cache hits. The
same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently,
having nothing to do with the state of RCD. When a write command is issued, if RCD=0, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that are
to be written are already stored in the cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the respective cache segments are cleared. The
new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceed the size of the segment being written into, when the end of the segment is reached, the data is
written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that was written there at the beginning of the operation; however, the
drive does not overwrite data that has not yet been written to the medium.
If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return Good status on a write command after the data has been transferred into the cache,
but before the data has been written to the medium. If an error occurs while writing the data to the medium, and Good status has already been
returned, a deferred error will be generated.
The Synchronize Cache command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium. Upon completion of a Synchronize
Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have been written to the medium. Section 10.3.2 shows the mode default
settings for the drive.
3.5.2 Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disk immediately beyond that which was requested by a Read command
are retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the buffer to the host on subsequent Read commands that request those logical
blocks (this is true even if cache operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in the
buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation hit.
To enable Prefetch, use Mode Select page 08h, byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch.
The drive does not use the Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) or the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).
When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous blocks from the disk when it senses that
a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur.
Note Write caching in this section is the traditional SCSI write caching
(WCE=1) where writes are not protected on power loss.
Note Refer to the SAS Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.

4.0 Reliability specifications
The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages,
environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints.
4.1 Error rates
The error rates stated in this manual assume the following:
• The drive is operated in accordance with this manual using DC power as defined in paragraph 5.3, "DC power requirements."
• Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations.
•Assume random data.
• Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write retries and full retry time.
4.1.1 Recoverable Errors
Recoverable errors are those detected and corrected by the drive, and do not require user intervention.
Recoverable Data errors will use Error Correction when needed.
Recovered Data error rate is determined using read bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a read, and using write bits transferred
for recoverable errors occurring during a write.
4.1.2 Unrecoverable Errors
An unrecoverable data error is defined as a failure of the drive to recover data from the media. These errors occur due to head/media or write
problems. Unrecoverable data errors are only detected during read operations, but not caused by the read. If an unrecoverable data error is
detected, a MEDIUM ERROR (03h) in the Sense Key will be reported. Multiple unrecoverable data errors resulting from the same cause are treated as
1 error.
4.1.3 Seek errors
A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive
automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be
reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key. Recoverable seek errors are specified at Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks. Unrecoverable seek
errors (Sense Key = 04h) are classified as drive failures.
4.1.4 Interface errors
An interface error is defined as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the data as transmitted by the device port connected to the receiver. The
error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss of word sync, or CRC error.
Seek error rate: Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks
Read Error Rates1
1. Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.
Recovered Data Less than 10 error in 1012 bits transferred (OEM default settings)
Unrecovered Data Less than 1 sector in 1015 bits transferred
Miscorrected Data Less than 1 sector in 1021 bits transferred
Interface error rate: Less than 1 error in 1012 bits transferred
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): 2,000,000 hours
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR): 0.44%
Preventive maintenance: None required
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 20
4.2 Reliability and service
The reliability of Exos 7E2000 v3 disk drives can be enhanced by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling. Section 5.0 provides
temperature measurements and other information that may be used to enhance the service life of the drive. Section 9.2 provides recommended air-
flow information.
4.2.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.44% (MTBF of 2,000,000 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 <= 40C
• Ambient dew point temperature <= 26C
•Typical I/O 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.
4.2.2 Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.
4.2.3 Hot plugging the drive
When a disk is powered on by switching the power or hot plugged, the drive runs a self test before attempting to communicate on its’ interfaces.
When the self test completes successfully, the drive initiates a Link Reset starting with OOB. An attached device should respond to the link reset. If
the link reset attempt fails, or any time the drive looses sync, the drive initiated link is reset. The drive will initiate link reset once per second but
alternates between port A and B. Therefore each port will attempt a link reset once per 2 seconds assuming both ports are out of sync.
If the self-test fails, the drive does not respond to link reset on the failing port.
4.2.4 S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate
imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow an application to back up the data before an actual failure
occurs.
Nonrecoverable read errors 1 per 1015 bits read, max
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) 0.44% (nominal power, 40°C case temperature)
Load unload cycles 300,000 (25°C, 50% rel. humidity) (600,000 design life testing)
Maximum Rated Workload <550TB/year
Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the drive MTBF and impact product reliability. The
Average 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).

warranty information for the drive.
Preventive maintenance None required.
Note
It is the responsibility of the systems integrator to assure that no temperature, energy, voltage hazard,
shorting of PCBA to ground, or ESD potential hazard is presented during the hot connect/disconnect
operation. Discharge the static electricity from the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system.
Caution The drive motor must come to a complete stop prior to changing the
plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 21
Each monitored attribute has been selected to monitor a specific set of failure conditions in the operating performance of the drive and the
thresholds are optimized to minimize “false” and “failed” predictions.
Controlling S.M.A.R.T.
The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Use the
DEXCPT bit to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. feature. Setting the DEXCPT bit disables all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. collects on-
line data as the drive performs normal read and write operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is considered to be in “On-line Mode Only” and
will not perform off-line functions.
Applications can measure off-line attributes and force the drive to save the data by using the Rezero Unit command. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the
timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in one hour.
Applications can interrogate the drive through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measurement and data
logging process occurs. To accomplish this, issue a Log Sense command to log page 0x3E. This allows applications to control when S.M.A.R.T.
interruptions occur. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. with the RTZ command resets the timer.
Performance impact
S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the disk so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recreated. The drive measures and saves
parameters once every hour subject to an idle period on the drive interfaces. The process of measuring off-line attribute data and saving data to the
disk is interruptable. The maximum on-line only processing delay is summarized below
Reporting control
Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method. For example, if
the MRIE is set to one, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5D00 sense code. The FRU field contains the type of predictive failure that occurred.
The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles.
Determining rate
S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded errors increases to an unacceptable level. To
determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the number of total operations for a given attribute. The interval defines the number of
operations over which to measure the rate. The counter that keeps track of the current number of operations is referred to as the Interval Counter.
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of the number of errors for the current
interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.
Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to set thresholds for the number of
errors and their interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If
the number of errors does not exceed the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable. In either case, the
interval and failure counters are reset and the process starts over.
Predictive failures
S.M.A.R.T. signals predictive failures when the drive is performing unacceptably for a period of time. The firmware keeps a running count of the
number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accomplish this, a counter is incremented each time the error rate is
unacceptable and decremented (not to exceed zero) whenever the error rate is acceptable. If the counter continually increments such that it
reaches the predictive threshold, a predictive failure is signaled. This counter is referred to as the Failure History Counter. There is a separate Failure
History Counter for each attribute.
Note The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation
over time but can’t predict instantaneous drive failures.

Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 22
4.2.5 Thermal monitor
Exos 7E2000 v3 drives implement a temperature warning system which:
1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.
2. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceeds the threatening temperature value.
A temperature sensor monitors the drive temperature and issues a warning over the interface when the temperature exceeds a set threshold. The
temperature is measured at power-up and then at ten-minute intervals after power-up.
The thermal monitor system generates a warning code of 01-0B01 when the temperature exceeds the specified limit in compliance with the SCSI
standard.
This feature is controlled by the Enable Warning (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the Method of Reporting Informational
Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC) mode page (1Ch).
[a]. Do not reset the log parameter.
[b]. Do not make any requested changes in any field in any log parameter in any log page.
4.2.6 Drive Self Test (DST)
Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a failed unit. DST validates the
functionality of the drive at a system level.
There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:
1. Extended test
2. Short test
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical block address (LBA) of the drive. The
short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions
of the media.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to
Seagate for service.
4.2.6.1 DST failure definition
The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log page if a functional failure is
encountered during DST. The channel and servo parameters are not modified to test the drive more stringently, and the number of retries are not
reduced. All retries and recovery processes are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no failure condition will be reported regardless of the
number of retries required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Seek error after retries are exhausted
• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted
• Read error after retries are exhausted
• Write error after retries are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.

4.2.6.2 Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
4.2.6.2.1 State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagnostic command. There are multiple reasons why a drive may not be ready, some of
which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be in process of doing a format, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the
host application to determine the “not ready” cause.
While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a failed drive.
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:
• Motor will not spin
• Motor will not lock to speed
• Servo will not lock on track
• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disk
In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
4.2.6.2.2 Invoking DST
To invoke DST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short test or 010b for the extended test) in
bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7.
4.2.6.2.3 Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1. short
2. extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan segment.
Short test (Function Code: 001b)
The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within 120 seconds. The short test does not
scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media. A complete read/verify scan is not performed and
only factual failures will report a fault condition. This option provides a quick confidence test of the drive.
Extended test (Function Code: 010b)
The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive components. For example, the seek tests and on-track operations test
the positioning mechanism. The read operation tests the read head element and the media surface. The write element is tested through read/write/
read operations. The integrity of the media is checked through a read/verify scan of the media. Motor functionality is tested by default as a part of
these tests.
The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 24
4.2.6.2.4 Log page entries
When the drive begins DST, it creates a new entry in the Self-test Results Log page. The new entry is created by inserting a new self-test parameter
block at the beginning of the self-test results log parameter section of the log page. Existing data will be moved to make room for the new
parameter block. The drive reports 20 parameter blocks in the log page. If there are more than 20 parameter blocks, the least recent parameter
block will be deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized as follows:
1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command
2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh
3. The drive will store the log page to non-volatile memory
After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the drive updates the Self-Test Results Value field in its Self-Test Results Log page in non-volatile
memory. The host may use Log Sense to read the results from up to the last 20 self-tests performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit
field that reports the results of the test. If the field is set to zero, the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not set to zero, the
test failed for the reason reported in the field.
The drive will report the failure condition and LBA (if applicable) in the Self-test Results Log parameter. The Sense key, ASC, ASCQ, and FRU are used
to report the failure condition.
4.2.6.2.5 Abort
There are multiple ways to abort a diagnostic. Two examples are: using a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device message to abort the diagnostic
To abort a DST executing in background mode, use the abort code in the DST Function Code field. This will cause a 01 (self-test aborted by the
application client) code to appear in the self-test results values log. All other abort mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-test routine was
interrupted by a reset condition).
4.2.7 Product warranty
See “Seagate® Technology Support Services” on page 7. for warranty contact 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 an authorized Seagate
distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.
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.
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 to1 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.

5.0 Physical/electrical specifications
This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the drive.
5.1 PowerChoiceTM power management
Drives using the load/unload architecture provide programmable power management to tailor systems for performance and greater energy
efficiency.
The table below lists the supported PowerChoice modes. The further down in the table, the more power savings can be realized. For example,
Idle_B mode results in greater power savings than Idle_A mode. Standby modes results in the greatest power savings.
PowerChoice modes
PowerChoiceTM can be invoked using one of these two methods:
• Power Condition mode page method—Enable and initialize the idle condition timers and/or the standby condition timers. The timer values are
based on the values set in the Power Condition mode page.
• START STOP UNIT command method—Use the START STOP UNIT command (OPERATION CODE 1Bh). This allows the host to directly transition
the drive to any supported PowerChoice mode.
If both the Power Condition mode page and START STOP UNIT command methods are used, the START STOP UNIT command request takes
precedence over the Power Condition mode page power control and may disable the idle condition and standby condition timers. The REQUEST
SENSE command reports the current PowerChoice state if active and also the method by which the drive entered the PowerChoice state.
5.1.1 PowerChoice reporting methods
PowerChoiceTM provides these reporting methods for tracking purposes:
Request Sense command reports
• Current power condition
• Method of entry
Mode Sense command reports (mode page 0x1A)
• Idle conditions enabled / disabled
• Idle condition timer values (100ms increments) (default, saved, current, changeable)
Power Condition Vital Product Data (VPD) Page (VPD page 0x8A)
• Supported power conditions
• Typical recovery time from power conditions (1ms increments)
Start/Stop Cycle Counter Log Page reports (log page 0x0E)
• Specified and accumulated Start/Stops and Load/Unload cycles
Power Condition Transitions Log Page reports (log page 0x1A, subpage 0x00)
• Accumulated transitions to Active, Idle_A, Idle_B, Idle_C, Standby_Y, Standby_Z
Mode Description
Idle_A Reduced electronics
Idle_B Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM
Idle_C Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM
Standby_Y Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM
Standby_Z Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)
Note Processing the Request Sense command does not impact the drive’s power save state.

5.2 AC power requirements
None.
5.3 DC power requirements
The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown below. Values indicated apply at the drive connector.
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive controller
ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 10mA and a commensurate
increase of about 50mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply.
Operation at 6 Gb mode reduces the +5V supply load by 15mA with a commensurate power reduction of 75mW.
Note There is no measurable impact to the 12V supply load when running at lower interface speeds.

(number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C ambient.
[2] For +12 V, a -7.5%/+10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching 7,134 RPM. The ±5% must be
maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host
initiator.

[7] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 30 seconds to a random location within the band from three-quarters to maximum track.
General DC power requirement notes.
1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.7% of the maximum operating current shown.
2. The +5V and +12V supplies should employ separate ground returns.
3. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive power requirements should be
noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak starting current must be available to each device.
4. Parameters, other than spindle start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.

Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a defined frequency range. Maximum allowed noise values given
below are peak-to-peak measurements and apply at the drive power connector.
5.3.2 Power sequencing
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up and down.

5.5 Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and
atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C).
5.5.1 Temperature
a. Operating
41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.
The maximum allowable drive temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal drive temperature values (see Section 9.2). To confirm that the required cooling is pro-
vided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform random write/read operations. After the
temperatures stabilize, read drive temperature from Temperature Log Page (0Dh).
b. Non-operating
–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is
packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive.
5.5.2 Humidity
The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs. Maximum wet bulb temperature is 84.2°F (29°C).
a. Operating
5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 20% per hour.

b. Non-operating
–1000 to +40,000 feet (–304.8 to +12,192 meters)
5.5.4 Shock and vibration
Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is installed in an enclosure to which the
stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the
stated limits. If this situation is apparent, it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of the four methods shown in Figure 5,
and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 9.3.
5.5.4.1 Shock
a. Operating
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding:
• 40 Gs at a maximum duration of 11ms (half sinewave)
• 25 Gs at a maximum duration of 2ms (half sinewave)
Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than once every 2 seconds.
b. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both isolated drives and integrated
drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding the three values below, shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation.
• 80 Gs at a maximum duration of 11ms (half sinewave)
• 400 Gs at a maximum duration of 2ms (half sinewave)
• 300 Gs at a maximum duration of 0.5ms (half sinewave)
Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
Note To maintain optimal performance drives should be run at nominal drive temperature and humidity.
Note Operating drive temperature references temperature reported by the drive on Log Page 0Dh

5.5.5 Air cleanliness
The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.
5.5.6 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. 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.
5.5.7 Acoustics
Sound power during idle mode shall be 2.8 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.
Sound power during operating mode shall be 3.2 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 9 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when measured according to Seagate specification
30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.

6.0 About FIPS
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. Government Computer Security Standard used to accredit
cryptographic modules. It is titled 'Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS PUB 140-2)' and is issued by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).
Purpose
This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system protecting
sensitive but unclassified information. The standard provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4. These
levels are intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and environments in which cryptographic modules may be employed.
Validation Program
Products that claim conformance to this standard are validated by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) which is a joint effort
between National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) of the Government of
Canada. Products validated as conforming to FIPS 140-2 are accepted by the Federal agencies of both countries for the protection of sensitive
information (United States) or Designated Information (Canada).
In the CMVP, vendors of cryptographic modules use independent, accredited testing laboratories to have their modules tested. National Voluntary
Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratories perform cryptographic module compliance/conformance testing.
Seagate Enterprise SED
The SEDs referenced in this Product Manual have been validated by CMVP and have been thoroughly tested by a NVLAP accredited lab to satisfy
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. In order to operate in FIPS Approved Mode of Operation, these SEDs require security initialization. For more
information, refer to 'Security Rules' section in the 'Security Policy' document uploaded on the NIST website. To reference the product certification
visit - http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401vend.htm, and search for “Seagate”.
Security Level 2
Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the requirement for tamper-
evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the module. Tamper-evident coatings or seals are
placed on a cryptographic module so that the coating or seal must be broken to attain physical access to the critical security parameters (CSP)
within the module. Tamper-evident seals (example shown in Figure 7, page 35) are placed on covers to protect against unauthorized physical
access. In addition Security Level 2 requires, at a minimum, role-based authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the autho-
rization of an operator to assume a specific role and perform a corresponding set of services.

7.0 About self-encrypting drives
Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as “protection of data at
rest.” These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise Storage Specifications as detailed in Section 1.1.
The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital
communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG.
To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two SCSI commands:
• Security Protocol Out
• Security Protocol In
These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.
7.1 Data encryption
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each port, employing AES 256-bit data encryption keys with AES-XTS mode to encrypt all
data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engines are always in operation and
cannot be disabled.
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to the host
system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM) external to the encryption
engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data bands (see Section 7.5).
7.2 Controlled access
The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive security services.
Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is authorized to perform the
command.
7.2.1 Admin SP
The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 7.4). Access to the Admin SP is available
using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.
7.2.2 Locking SP
The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using the
BandMasterX or EraseMaster passwords. Since the drive owner can define up to 16 data bands on the drive, each data band has its own password
called BandMasterX where X is the number of the data band (0 through 15).
7.2.3 Default password
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be read by the host
electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password as the authority to
change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.
7.3 Random number generator (RNG)
The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide random numbers to the host for
system use, including using these numbers as Authentication Keys (passwords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.
7.4 Drive locking
In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 7.2.3, the owner should also set the data access controls for the individual bands.
The variable "LockOnReset" should be set to "PowerCycle" to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. In addition
"ReadLockEnabled" and "WriteLockEnabled" must be set to true in the locking table in order for the bands "LockOnReset" setting of "PowerCycle" to
actually lock access to the band when a "PowerCycle" event occurs. This scenario occurs if the drive is removed from its cabinet. The drive will not
honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been unlocked. This prevents the user data from being accessed without the appropriate
credentials when the drive has been removed from its cabinet and installed in another system.
When the drive is shipped from the factory, the firmware download port is unlocked.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 37
7.5 Data bands
When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (also known as the Global Data Band) which comprises
LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate Band1 by specifying a start LBA and an LBA range. The real estate for this band is taken from the
Global Band. An additional 14 Data Bands may be defined in a similar way (Band2 through Band15) but before these bands can be allocated LBA
space, they must first be individually enabled using the EraseMaster password.
Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one band ending at LBA (x) and the next beginning at LBA (x+1).
Each data band has its own drive-generated encryption key and its own user-supplied password. The host may change the Encryption Key (see
Section 7.6) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4096N LBA boundaries.
7.6 Cryptographic erase
A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the data encryption key
for a particular band. Once changed, the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and will be read using a different key. Since
the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes, the user data can never be recovered. This is tantamount to
an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be scrapped or redispositioned.
7.7 Authenticated firmware download
In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download files which
have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.
Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:
1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.
2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.
3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable to the correct
drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.
7.8 Power requirements
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive controller
ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 30mA and a commensurate
increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply. See the tables in Section 5.3 for power
requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.
7.9 Supported commands
The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED) models as listed in
Section 7.9, "Supported commands":
• Security Protocol Out (B5h)
• Security Protocol In (A2h)
7.10 Sanitize - CRYPTOGRAPHIC ERASE
This command cryptographically erases all user data on the drive by destroying the current data encryption key and replacing it with a new data
encryption key randomly generated by the drive. Sanitize CRYPTOGRAPHIC ERASE is a SCSI CDB Op code 48h and selecting the service action code
3 (CRYPTOGRAPHIC ERASE)
7.11 RevertSP
The SED models will support the RevertSP feature which erases all data in all bands on the device and returns the contents of all SPs (Security
Providers) on the device to their original factory state. In order to execute the RevertSP method the unique PSID (Physical Secure ID) printed on the
drive label must be provided. PSID is not electronically accessible and can only be manually read from the drive label or scanned in via the 2D
barcode.

8.0 Defect and error management
Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity,
perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation.
SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error considerations (errors in
communications between the initiator and the drive). In addition, Seagate provides the following technologies used to increase data integrity and
drive reliability:
• Background Media Scan (see Section 8.4)
• Deferred Auto-Reallocation (see Section 8.5)
• Idle Read After Write (see Section 8.6)
The read error rates and specified storage capacities are not dependent on host (initiator) defect management routines.
8.1 Drive internal defects/errors
During the initial drive format operation at the factory, media defects are identified, tagged as being unusable, and their locations recorded on the
drive primary defects list (referred to as the “P’ list and also as the ETF defect list). At factory format time, these known defects are also reallocated,
that is, reassigned to a new place on the medium and the location listed in the defects reallocation table. The “P” list is not altered after factory
formatting. Locations of defects found and reallocated during error recovery procedures after drive shipment are listed in the “G” list (defects
growth list). The “P” and “G” lists may be referenced by the initiator using the Read Defect Data command.
Details of the SCSI commands supported by the drive are described in the SAS Interface Manual. Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery
philosophy is presented in the SAS Interface Manual.
8.2 Drive error recovery procedures
When an error occurs during drive operation, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs error recovery procedures to attempt to recover the data.
The error recovery procedures used depend on the options previously set in the Error Recovery Parameters mode page. Error recovery and defect
management may involve using several SCSI commands described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, 75789509. The drive implements selectable
error recovery time limits required in video applications.
The error recovery scheme supported by the drive provides a way to control the total error recovery time for the entire command in addition to
controlling the recovery level for a single LBA. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a command can be limited using the Recovery
Time Limit bytes in the Error Recovery mode page. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a single LBA can be limited using the Read
Retry Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery mode page.
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consist of 20 levels for read recoveries and six levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps,
where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re-read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is
determined by the read and write retry counts.
Table 6 equates the read and write retry count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write recovery of individual LBAs. The times
given do not include time taken to perform reallocations. Reallocations are performed when the ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation) bit or AWRE (Auto
Write Reallocation) bit is one, the RC (Read Continuous) bit is zero, and the recovery time limit for the command has not yet been met. Time needed
to perform reallocation is not counted against the recovery time limit.
When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still perform data recovery actions within the
limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any
unrecovered errors.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 39
* For read retry count, every tick ~ 5% of total error recovery. Valid range setting is 1-20.
e.g. 1 ~ 5%
5 ~ 25%
20 ~ 100%
Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in degradation of the unrecovered error rate. For example, suppose the
read/write recovery page has the RC bit = 0 and if the read retry count is set to 5, this means ~ 25% of error recovery will be executed which
consumes 621.62 ms (please refer to the table above). If the limit is reached and a LBA has not yet been recovered (i.e. requires retries beyond
621.62 ms), the command will end with Check Condition status report and unrecoverable read error will be reported.
8.3 SAS system errors
Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SAS Interface Manual. The SSP Response returns
information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations
performed by the drive.
Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the SAS Interface Manual. Status reporting plays a role in systems error management and
its use in that respect is described in sections where the various commands are discussed.
8.4 Background Media Scan
Background Media Scan (BMS) is a self-initiated media scan. BMS is defined in the T10 document SPC-4 available from the T10 committee. BMS
performs sequential reads across the entire pack of the media while the drive is idle. In RAID arrays, BMS allows hot spare drives to be scanned for
defects prior to being put into service by the host system. On regular duty drives, if the host system makes use of the BMS Log Page, it can avoid
placing data in suspect locations on the media. Unreadable and recovered error sites will be logged or reallocated per ARRE/AWRE settings.
With BMS, the host system can consume less power and system overhead by only checking BMS status and results rather than tying up the bus and
consuming power in the process of host-initiated media scanning activity.
Since the background scan functions are only done during idle periods, BMS causes a negligible impact to system performance. The first BMS scan
for a newly manufactured drive is performed as quickly as possible to verify the media and protect data by setting the “Start time after idle” to 5ms,
all subsequent scans begin after 500ms of idle time. Other features that normally use idle time to function will function normally because BMS
functions for limited time bursts then suspends activity to allow other background functions to operate.
BMS interrupts immediately to service host commands from the interface bus while performing reads. BMS will complete any BMS-initiated error
recovery prior to returning to service host-initiated commands. Overhead associated with a return to host-servicing activity from BMS only impacts
the first command that interrupted BMS, this results in a typical delay of about 1ms.
8.5 Deferred Auto-Reallocation
Deferred Auto-Reallocation (DAR) simplifies reallocation algorithms at the system level by allowing the drive to reallocate unreadable locations on a
subsequent write command. Sites are marked for DAR during read operations performed by the drive. When a write command is received for an
LBA marked for DAR, the auto-reallocation process is invoked and attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite
fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.
This is in contrast to the system having to use the Reassign Command to reassign a location that was unreadable and then generate a write
command to rewrite the data. DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With
AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is
being attempted to a previously failing location.

Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 40
8.6 Idle Read After Write
Idle Read After Write (IRAW) utilizes idle time to verify the integrity of recently written data. During idle periods, no active system requests, the drive
reads recently written data from the media and compares it to valid write command data resident in the drives data buffer. Any sectors that fail the
comparison result in the invocation of a rewrite and auto-reallocation process. The process attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a
verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.
8.7 Protection Information (PI)
Protection Information is intended as a standardized approach to system level LRC traditionally provided by systems using 520 byte formatted
LBAs. Drives formatted with PI information provide the same, common LBA count (i.e. same capacity point) as non-PI formatted drives. Sequential
performance of a PI drive will be reduced by approximately 1.56% due to the extra overhead of PI being transferred from the media that is not
calculated as part of the data transferred to the host. To determine the full transfer rate of a PI drive, transfers should be calculated by adding the 8
extra bytes of PI to the transferred LBA length, i.e. 512 + 8 = 520. PI formatted drives are physically formatted to 520 byte sectors that store 512 bytes
of customer data with 8 bytes of Protection Information appended to it. The advantage of PI is that the Protection Information bits can be managed
at the HBA and HBA driver level. Allowing a system that typically does not support 520 LBA formats to integrate this level of protection.
Protection Information is valid with any supported LBA size. 512 LBA size is used here as common example.
8.7.1 Levels of PI
There are 4 types of Protection Information.
Type 0 - Describes a drive that is not formatted with PI information bytes. This allows for legacy support in non-PI systems.
Type 1 - Provides support of PI protection using 10 and 16 byte commands. The RDPROTECT and WRTPROTECT bits allow for checking control
through the CDB. Eight bytes of Protection Information are transmitted at LBA boundaries across the interface if RDPROTECT and WRTPROTECT bits
are nonzero values. Type 1 does not allow the use of 32 byte commands.
Type 2 - Provides checking control and additional expected fields within the 32 byte CDBs. Eight bytes of Protection Information are transmitted at
LBA boundaries across the interface if RDPROTECT and WRTPROTECT bits are nonzero values. Type 2 does allow the use of 10 and 16 byte
commands with zero values in the RDPROTECT and WRTPROTECT fields. The drive will generate 8 bytes (e.g.0xFFFF) 8 bytes of Protection
Information to be stored on the media, but the 8 bytes will not be transferred to the host during a read command.
Type 3 - Seagate products do not support Type 3.
8.7.2 Setting and determining the current Type Level
A drive is initialized to a type of PI by using the format command on a PI capable drive. Once a drive is formatted to a PI Type, it may be queried by a
Read Capacity (16) command to report the PI type which it is currently formatted to. PI Types cannot coexist on a single drive. A drive can only be
formatted to a single PI Type. It can be changed at anytime to a new Type but requires a low level format which destroys all existing data on the
drive. No other vehicle for changing the PI type is provided by the T10 SBC3 specification.
Type 1 PI format CDB command: 04 90 00 00 00 00, Write Buffer: 00 A0 00 00
Type 2 PI format CDB command: 04 D0 00 00 00 00, Write Buffer: 00 A0 00 00
8.7.3 Identifying a Protection Information drive
The Standard Inquiry provides a bit to indicate if PI is support by the drive. Vital Product Descriptor (VPD) page 0x86 provides bits to indicate the PI
Types supported and which PI fields the drive supports checking.
.
8.8 Seagate RAID Rebuild ™
Seagate RAID Rebuild is an industry standard feature to enable faster recovery from a failed drive in a RAID configuration. It improves RAID rebuild
performance by extracting easily readable data from a failing drive. It quickly identifies blocks that would take longer to recover from the failed
drive than to rebuild from the remaining drives in the RAID group.
This feature allows host control of error recovery, maximizes up time, and minimizes likelihood of 2nd drive failure in a RAID configuration.
Note For further details with respect to PI, please refer to SCSI Block
Commands - 3 (SBC-3) Draft Standard documentation.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 41
9.0 Installation
Exos 7E2000 v3 disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive.
SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accommodate the drive. In
such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray onto which the drive needs to be mounted. Mount the drive to the carrier or tray
provided by the host system using four M3 x 0.5 metric screws. When tightening the screws, use a maximum torque of 4.5 in-lb +/- 0.45 in-lb. Do not
over-tighten or force the screws. Mount the drive in any orientation.
.
Slide the carrier or tray into the appropriate bay in the host system using the instructions provided by the host system. This connects the drive
directly to the system’s SAS connector. The SAS connector is normally located on a SAS backpanel. See Section 10.4.1 for additional information
about these connectors.
Power is supplied through the SAS connector.
The drive is shipped from the factory low-level formatted in 512-byte logical blocks for 512E and 512N drives and 4096-byte logical blocks for 4096N
drives. Reformat the drive only if a different logical block size needs to be selected.
Figure 8. Physical interface
.
9.1 Drive orientation
The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been done with the drive in horizontal (discs
level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two preferred mounting orientations.
9.2 Cooling
Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive does not result in the drive
exceeding temperature conditions specified in Section 5.5.1, "Temperature."
The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal from the electronics and head and disk assembly (HDA). Confirm
that adequate heat removal is provided using the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 5.5.1.
Forced air flow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in Section 5.5.1 in which case the drive should be
oriented, or air flow directed, so that the least amount of air flow resistance is created while providing air flow to the electronics and HDA. Also, the
shortest possible path between the air inlet and exit should be chosen to minimize the travel length of air heated by the drive and other heat
sources within the rack, cabinet, or drawer environment.
Note
SAS drives are designed to be attached to the host system without I/O or
power cables. If the intent is to use the drive in a non-backplane host system,
connecting the drive using high-quality cables is acceptable as long as the I/
O cable length does not exceed 10 meters (32.8 feet).
Note Image is for reference only, may not represent actual drive.
Seagate Exos 7E2000 v3 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B 42
If forced air is determined to be necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 9. The air-flow patterns are created by one or more fans,
either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-flow patterns are acceptable as long as the
temperature measurement guidelines of Section 5.5.1 are met.
Figure 9. Air flow
.
9.3 Drive mounting
Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If mounting the drive using the bottom holes, ensure to not physically distort the drive
by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface.
The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allowable mounting surface
stiffness:
where K is the mounting surface stiffness (units in lb/in or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surface distortion (units in inches or millimeters). The
out-of-plane distortion (X) is determined by defining a plane with three of the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane
deflection of the fourth mounting point when a known force (F) is applied to the fourth point.
9.4 Grounding
Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the user. The equipment in which the drive
is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electrically isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be
connected to the HDA/PCBA ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mounting the
drive in the host equipment.
Increased radiated emissions may result if maximum surface area ground connection is not provided between system ground and drive ground.
This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.
Note Image is for reference only, may not represent actual drive.

10.3.2 Mode Sense data
The Mode Sense command provides a way for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator. The drive maintains four sets of mode
parameters:
1. Default values
Default values are hard-coded in the drive firmware stored in flash E-PROM (nonvolatile memory) on the drive’s PCB. These default values can
be changed only by downloading a complete set of new firmware into the flash E-PROM. An initiator can request and receive from the drive a
list of default values and use those in a Mode Select command to set up new current and saved values, where the values are changeable.
2. Saved values
Saved values are stored on the drive’s media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are allowed to be changed can be
changed by this method. Parameters in the saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from
default values storage.
When power is applied to the drive, it takes saved values from the media and stores them as current values in volatile memory. It is not possible
to change the current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select command before the drive achieves operating speed and is “ready.” An
attempt to do so results in a “Check Condition” status.
On drives requiring unique saved values, the required unique saved values are stored into the saved values storage location on the media prior
to shipping the drive. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique default values also.
On standard OEM drives, the saved values are taken from the default values list and stored into the saved values storage location on the media
prior to shipping.
3. Current values
Current values are volatile values being used by the drive to control its operation. A Mode Select command can be used to change the values
identified as changeable values. Originally, current values are installed from saved or default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus
Device Reset message.
4. Changeable values
Changeable values form a bit mask, stored in nonvolatile memory, that dictates which of the current values and saved values can be changed
by a Mode Select command. A one (1) indicates the value can be changed. A zero (0) indicates the value is not changeable. For example, in the
table in Section 10.3.2, refer to Mode page 81, in the row entitled “CHG.” These are hex numbers representing the changeable values for Mode
page 81. Note in columns 5 and 6 (bytes 04 and 05), there is 00h which indicates that in bytes 04 and 05 none of the bits are changeable. Note
also that bytes 06, 07, 09, 10, and 11 are not changeable, because those fields are all zeros. In byte 02, hex value FF equates to the binary pat-
tern 11111111. If there is a zero in any bit position in the field, it means that bit is not changeable. Since all of the bits in byte 02 are ones, all of
these bits are changeable.
The changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash E-PROM.
.
The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense command pages for SCSI implementation
(see the SAS Interface Manual ).
DEF = Default value. Standard OEM drives are shipped configured this way.
CHG = Changeable bits; indicates if default value is changeable.
Note
Because there are often several different versions of drive control firmware in
the total population of drives in the field, the Mode Sense values given in the
following tables may not exactly match those of some drives.

10.4.6 SAS transmitters and receivers
A typical SAS differential copper transmitter and receiver pair is shown in Figure 13. The receiver is AC coupling to eliminate ground shift noise.
Figure 13. SAS transmitters and receivers
10.4.7 Power
The drive receives power (+5 volts and +12 volts) through the SAS device connector.
Three +12 volt pins provide power to the drive, 2 short and 1 long. The current return for the +12 volt power supply is through the common ground
pins. The supply current and return current must be distributed as evenly as possible among the pins.
Three +5 volt pins provide power to the drive, 2 short and 1 long. The current return for the +5 volt power supply is through the common ground
pins. The supply current and return current must be distributed as evenly as possible among the pins.
Current to the drive through the long power pins may be limited by the system to reduce inrush current to the drive during hot plugging.
10.5 Signal characteristics
This section describes the electrical signal characteristics of the drive’s input and output signals. See Section 10.4.5 for signal type and signal name
information.
10.5.1 Ready LED Out

The Ready LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +3.3 volt supply through an
appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resistor are external to the drive. See the next table for the output
characteristics of the LED drive signals.
10.5.2 Differential signals
The drive SAS differential signals comply with the intra-enclosure (internal connector) requirements of the SAS standard.
The table below defines the general interface characteristics
10.6 SAS-3 Specification compliance
Seagate SAS-3 compatible drives are compliant with the latest SAS-3 Specification (T10/BSR INCITS 519 rev. 06).
The main difference from SAS-2 is the Tx and Rx training that allows the host and drive to adjust the amplitude and emphasis values to the channel.
The receiver still employs Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) and Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) circuitry to accomplish this training.
10.7 Additional information
Please contact the Seagate representative for SAS electrical details, if required.
