The 3D Defense System™, which includes Drive Defense, Data Defense and Diagnostic Defense, offers the industry’s most comprehensive

protection for disk drives.

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 you to

install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in your current system and expect all of your 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 International Organization: Serial ATA (Revision 2.6). The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Standard models

ST500VT000 - 1DK142

ST500VT001 - 1K6142

ST320VT000 - 1DK14C

ST250VT000 - 1DK141

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.

Drive Specifications

2.6 Start/stop times

2.7 Power Specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector (refer to Figure 2).

2.7.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table in Table 4. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under

nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. These power measurements are done with Interface Power Management modes like HIPM

and DIPM enabled.

Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

Seek mode

During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disk surface and does not execute a read or write

operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power is measured based on three random seek operations every 100 ms. This mode is not

typical.

Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations every 100 ms.

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.

Drive Specifications

2.7.4 Power management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, power management is controlled

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.

2.9 Acoustics

Drive emission of sound is measured consistent with the ECMA-74 and its referenced standards. Testing is conducted at room temperature

(approximately 25°C). Emission levels are reported as the total A-weighted sound power levers for steady state, idle, and active seeks modes of

operation.

2.9.1 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 the lower limit for the threshold curve* 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.

*Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies.

2.10 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) environment as defined in Table 7.

2.11 Reliability

2.11.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR)

The product will achieve an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.55% when operated in an environment of ambient air temperatures of 25°C.

Operation at temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.8, Environmental Specifications may increase the product AFR. AFR is a

population statistics that is not relevant to individual units.

AFR specifications are based on the following assumptions for consumer electronics environments:

• 8760 power-on-hours per year

• 10,000 average motor start/stop cycles per year

• Operations at nominal voltages

• Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.8, Environmental Specifications may reduce the product reliability.

Drive Specifications

The consumer electronics environment of power-on-hours, temperature, and I/O duty cycle affect the product AFR. The AFR will be degraded if

used in a enterprise application

2.11.2 Data loss under power interruption with write cache enabled

Drive preserves its data during all operations except in cases where power to the drive is interrupted during write operations. This

could result in either an uncorrected data error being reported, or the entire sector/track becoming unreadable. This can be

permanently recovered by rewriting to the same location on the drive. Additionally any data present in the DRAM buffer will not be

written to the disk media, additionally, the drive will not be able to return the original data.

In order to prevent this data loss, the host should issue a standby immediate or flush cache command before a controlled power off

operation to the drive.

2.13.3 Taiwan Requirements — Taiwan RoHS

Taiwan RoHS refers to the Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection’s (BSMI) requirements in standard CNS 15663,

Guidance to reduction of the restricted chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Seagate products must comply

with the “Marking of presence” requirements in Section 5 of CNS 15663, effective January 1, 2018. This product is Taiwan RoHS

compliant.

The following table meets the Section 5 “Marking of presence” requirements.

2.14 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.

3.2 Configuring the Drive

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

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

3.2.1 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). Refer to Table 10 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, you can connect the drive

as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Attaching SATA Cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Video 2.5 HDD drives support latching SATA connectors.

CAUTION

• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready for installation to limit the

drive’s exposure to ESD.

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself 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 you mount 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. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data

transfers.

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

4.1 Hot-Plug Compatibility

Seagate Video 2.5 HDD drives incorporate connectors which enable you to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA: High Speed

Serialized AT Attachment specification revision 2.0. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org. This device requires a COMRESET

from the host after a hotplug event.

4.2 Serial ATA Device Plug Connector Pin Definitions

Table 10 summarizes the signals on the Serial ATA interface and power connectors. Refer to the Notes below.

Notes

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

2The 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.

3There 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.

4All 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:

Table 14 Set Features command values

02HEnable write cache (default).

03HSet transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).

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. You 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.

Table 15 S.M.A.R.T. Commands

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

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