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 more information, visit www.bis.doc.gov), and controlled for import and use outside of the U.S. Seagate reserves the right to change, without notice,

2.3.1 Power Consumption
NOTE Operating, as measured by temperature sensor, SMART Attribute ID 194.
Measured without condensation.
The Shock specification assumes that the SSD is mounted securely with
the input vibration applied to the drive mounting. Stimulus may be
applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
Operating Shock: The drive, as installed for normal operation, operates
error-free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding
specification. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z-axis. Shock must not
be repeated more than once every 2 seconds.

Non-Operating Shock: The limits of non-operating shock applies to all
conditions of handling and transportation. This includes isolated and
integrated drives. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z-axis.
NOTE The Vibration specification assumes that the SSD is mounted securely with the
input Vibration applied to the drive mounting screws. Stimulus may be applied
in the X, Y or Z axis.
Operating Vibration: The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall
operate error free while subjected to specified vibration not exceeding
specification. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z-axis.
Non-Operating Vibration: The limits of non-operating vibration shall apply
to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both
isolated drive and integrated drives. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y,

4.4 Power Pin Signal Definitions
NOTE Key and spacing separate the signal and power segments.
Uses 5 V power only, 3.3 V (P1-P3) and 12 V (P13-P15) power are not used.
Pins P1, P2, and P3; Pins P13, P14, and P15 are connected together. They
are not connected internally to the device, and the host may apply
voltage on these pins.
Ground pins are P4, P5, P6, P10, P12.
Signal pins and the rest of the 5V power pins are P8,P9.
Power pins P7, P8, and P9 are internally connected to one another within
the device
4.5 SSD Activity LED Indicator (Optional)
The Nytro XF1230 can support DAS Control function from the SSD module to indicate LED activity of host side.
The device includes a physical pin P11 for connecting device activity LEDs.
The signal provided to indicate activity of the device is a low-voltage and low-current driver intended for efficient
integration into current and future IC manufacturing processes. The signal is not suitable for directly driving an LED
and is first buffered using a circuit external to the device before driving an LED.
For DAS function operation, a Firmware function feature and R das are included as an option.
The DAS function firmware feature generates a Low/High toggle Activity signal input when the SSD is in a busy state
and generates a high Activity signal input when the SSD is in idle mode (Low level: GND, High level: 3.3V).
Using DAS function increases current because of the Activity LED operation.
The DAS Firmware feature is disabled and the R das is opened when the DAS function is not in use.
