1.1 About the SATA interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) 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, SATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. SATA was designed to
allow users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing
applications to work as normal.
The SATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the SATA host adapter. There is no
master/slave relationship with SATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one SATA host
adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This
essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.
The SATA 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 SATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as
the Shadow Register Block. All SATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how SATA
emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.2.” The specification can be
downloaded from www.sata-io.org.
Note
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on
separate SATA 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 SATA environment.

2.6 Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using drive
diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:
•Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
•Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of seeks between random tracks,
less overhead.
2.7 Start/stop times
Time-to-ready may be longer than normal if the drive power is removed without going through normal OS powerdown
procedures.
Typical seek times (ms) Read Write
Track-to-track 1.0 1.2
Average 8.5 9.5
Average latency 4.16
Note
These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless
of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted values. However, due to the manner in
which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may
produce results that vary from these specifications.

2.8 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 1 on page 22.
2.8.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 2 and Table 3. Typical power measurements are based on an average
of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay, then a
16-sector read followed by a 32-ms delay.
• Operating power and current
Operating power is measured by simulating a typical PVR operating environment, using a 50% write, 50% read algo-
rithm.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a random
track location.
•Standby mode
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/write elec-
tronics are in power-down mode.
*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.
† DIPLM Enabled
*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.

2.8.2 Conducted noise
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt
line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.
• Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected
noise at up to 10MHz.
• Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected
noise at up to 10MHz.
2.8.3 Voltage tolerance

•5V
±5%
•12V
+10% / -7.5%
2.8.4 Power-management modes
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, users can
control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management
modes:
•Active mode
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.
• Idle mode
The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disk access is
necessary.
•Standby mode
The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby
timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of
time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is
enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode
any time disk access is necessary.
•Sleep mode
The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is dis-
abled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft
Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode with all current trans-
lation parameters intact.
• Idle and Standby timers
Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins
counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is
required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all com-
mands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.
Note Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

2.15.4 Taiwan Requirements — Taiwan RoHS
Taiwan RoHS refers to the Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection’s (BSMI) requirements in standard CNS
15663, Guidance to reduction of the restricted chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Seagate
products must comply with the “Marking of presence” requirements in Section 5 of CNS 15663, effective January 1, 2018.
This product is Taiwan RoHS compliant.
The following table meets the Section 5 “Marking of presence” requirements.
2.16 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.

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.
Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation. It is usually not necessary to set any jumpers on the drive for proper
operation; however, if users connect the drive and receive a “drive not detected” error, the SATA-equipped motherboard or
host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA speed autonegotiation.
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 7 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
inFigure 1.
Figure 1 Attaching SATA cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. SV35 Series HDD 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.

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 2 and Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions
when mounting the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (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 inch (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).

4.0 SATA Interface
These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA (SATA) interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA
programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0 to 4; multiword DMA modes 0 to 2, and Ultra DMA modes 0 to 6.
For detailed information about the SATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment”
specification.
4.1 Hot-Plug compatibility
SV35 Series HDD drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the SATA
Revision 2.5 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.
4.2 SATA device plug connector pin definitions
Table 7 summarizes the signals on the SATA interface and power connectors.
Notes
1. All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (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.
• All used voltage pins (Vx) must be terminated.

4.3.2 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:
02HEnable write cache (default).
03HSet transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).
Sector Count register values:
00HSet PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2).
01HSet PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2).

4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors
predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is
likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is
limited to the attributes the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and implementation, see the
Draft ATA-5 Standard.
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4H) that eliminates
unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:
http://seatools.seagate.com.
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.
