Seagate IronWolf Product Manual, Rev. L 7
www.seagate.com Introduction
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.

When addressing these drives in LBA mode, all blocks (sectors) are consecutively numbered from 0 to n–1, where n is the number of
guaranteed sectors as defined above.
2.4 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.
2.5 Start/stop times
The start/stop times listed below are for all models.
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 (1TB - 4TB models) <12.0 <12.0
Average (6TB models) 8.5 9.5
Average latency (1TB - 4TB models) 5.1
Average latency (6TB models) 4.0
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.

2.6 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 3 on page 25.
2.6.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 6. 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 using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10 reads) and 20
percent drive idle mode.
• 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 electronics are
in power-down mode.

2.6.3 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.

www.seagate.com Drive Specifications
2.6.5 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 disabled, 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 translation 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 commands and returns to Active
mode when disk access is necessary.

2.6.5 Vibration
All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the drive mounting
screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Throughput may vary if improperly mounted.
2.6.5.1 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document
are specified below.
2.6.5.2 Non-operating vibration
The maximum non-operating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in
performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below.
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.
2.7.1 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.

2.8 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 Table 8.
2.9 Reliability
2.9.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.87% (MTBF of 1.000,000 hours) over a 5 year service life when
used in Enterprise Storage field conditions as limited by the following:
• 8760 power-on hours per year.
• HDA temperature as reported by the drive <= 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.

2.11 Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial
environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated
testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use caution exposing any electronic components
to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the
installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence
of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should
never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient
relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive
compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing
materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

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:
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.
3.2 Configuring the drive
Each drive on the SATA interface connects point-to-point with the SATA 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 SATA 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.
SATA 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 SATA cables and connectors
The SATA 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 inches). 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. IronWolf 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. Refer to Figure 4 through Figure 7 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
IronWolf drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the SATA Revision 3.2
specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.
4.2 SATA device plug connector pin definitions
Table 9 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 in) 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:

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:
seatools.seagate.com.
This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features enabled. Table 13 below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
