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

Seagate BarraCuda Pro v6 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 4

1.0 Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following:

Seagate® BarraCuda® Pro v6 Serial ATA model drives:.

These drives provide the following key features:

• 7200 RPM spindle speed.

• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.

• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second).

• Native Command Queuing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.

• Perpendicular recording technology provides the drives with increased areal density.

• PowerChoice™ for selectable power savings

• SeaTools™ diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.

• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.

• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.

• Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.

• Tarnish-resistant components to help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability.

• Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.

1.1 About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include:

• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity.

It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.

• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.

• Scalability to higher performance levels.

In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to

allow users to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing

applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no

master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host

adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essentially

means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward

compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets,

and interrupts are all emulated.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the

Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates

parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from

www.serialata.org.

ST8000DM005 ST6000DM004 ST4000DM006 ST2000DM009

Note Seagate recommends validating the configuration with the selected HBA/

RAID controller manufacturer to ensure use of full capacity is supported.

Note

The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two

devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and

Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/

slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

2.5.4 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoiceTM

The Power Choice features are supported on 4TB, 6TB & 8TB models.

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

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command

• Reports the current power state of the drive

Identify Device Command

• EPC Feature set supported flag

• EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled

Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition

• Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active

• If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable

• Default enabled state, and timer value

• Saved enabled state, and timer value

• Current enabled state, and timer value

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

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 Condition"

subcommand at a rate exceeding the default timers may limit this products reliability and data integrity.

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.

)

*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 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.

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:

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

2.10 Reliability

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

The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of <1% (MTBF of 1,200,000 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 <= 40°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.

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.

2.14 Product warranty

Beginning on the date of shipment to the customer and continuing for the period specified in the purchase contract, Seagate

warrants that each product (including components and subassemblies) that fails to function properly under normal use due to

defect in materials or workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replaced, at

Seagate’s option and at no charge to the customer, if returned by customer at customer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in

accordance with Seagate’s warranty procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to the customer. For

more detailed warranty information, refer to the standard terms and conditions of purchase for Seagate products on the purchase

documentation.

The remaining warranty for a particular drive can be determined by calling Seagate Customer Service at 1-800-468-3472. Users can

also determine remaining warranty using the Seagate web site (www.seagate.com). The drive serial 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.

3.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

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

3.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions

After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards.

Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

3.2 Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects 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.

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 9 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 3.

Figure 3. Attaching SATA cabling

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

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 4 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 0.120 in (3.05mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

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

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.

4.0 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.

4.1 Hot-Plug compatibility

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

Revision 3.2 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

4.2 Serial ATA device plug connector pin definitions

Table 9 summarizes the signals on the Serial ATA interface and power connectors.

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 config-

uration.

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

Caution The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 2.3)

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

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

4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands

S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined drive

attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status

report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor.

For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-5 Standard.

SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4H) that eliminates unnecessary drive

returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:

http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/.

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to

enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
