Seagate SkyHawk Product Manual, Rev. K 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.

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.
2.6 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 2 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.
2.6.4 Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
•5V ±5%
•12V ±10%
Note Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.
Seagate SkyHawk Product Manual, Rev. K 16
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.

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.
2.7.7.1 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document
are specified below.
2.7.7.2 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.
2.8 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.
2.8.1 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.

2.9 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 Table 8.
2.10 Reliability - Mean Time Between Failure
The product will achieve a Mean Time Between Failure Rate (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours when operated in an environment of
ambient air temperatures of 25°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications shown in Section 2.7 may decrease the
product MTBF. MTBF is a population statistic that is not relevant to individual units.
• MTBF specifications are based on the following assumptions for NAS 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 2.7 may reduce the product reliability.
Operation at excessive I/O duty cycle may degrade product reliability. The NAS environment of power-on hours, temperature, and
I/O duty cycle affect the product MTBF. The MTBF will be degraded if used in an enterprise application.
2.10.1 Storage
Maximum storage periods are 180 days within original unopened Seagate shipping package or 60 days unpackaged within the

2.13.4 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
2.14 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 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.

3.0 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 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 11 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 2.
Figure 2 Attaching SATA cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. SkyHawk 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 war-
ranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out
dirt and contamination.
Seagate SkyHawk Product Manual, Rev. K 26
www.seagate.com Configuring and Mounting the Drive
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 6 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).

4.3.1 Identify Device command
The Identify Device command (command code ECH) transfers information about the drive to the host following power up. The data
is organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in on page 32. All reserved bits or words should be set to
zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive.
The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the SATA specification.

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 commands
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 enabled. Table 15 below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
