www.seagate.com 2.7.2 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 2.7.4.1 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoiceTM 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.
www.seagate.com 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.
www.seagate.com 2.8 Environmental limits Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C). Note The recommended storage period: • 1 year under controlled conditions of 34°C 90%RH or less • 90 days in uncontrolled storage conditions 2.8.
www.seagate.com 2.8.3 Altitude Operating –304.80 m to 3048 m (–1000 ft. to 10,000+ ft.) Non-operating –304.80 m to 12,192 m (–1000 ft. to 40,000+ ft.) 2.8.4 Shock All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. 2.8.4.
www.seagate.com 2.9 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. Note For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only.
www.seagate.com 2.12 Reliability 2.12.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) The product shall achieve an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 1.1% (MTBF of 800 thousand hours) when operated at nominal power and typical case temperatures of 40°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.8 may increase the product AFR (decrease MTBF). AFR and MTBF are population statistics that are not relevant to individual units.
www.seagate.com 2.13 Agency certification 2.13.1 Safety certification These products are certified to meet the requirements of UL60950-1, CSA60950-1 and EN60950 and so marked as to the certify agency. 2.13.2 Electromagnetic compatibility Hard drives that display the CE mark comply with the European Union (EU) requirements specified in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/108/EC) as put into place 20 July 2007.
www.seagate.com 2.14 Environmental protection Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances. 2.14.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006.

www.seagate.com 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.
www.seagate.com 3.4 Drive mounting You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottommounting holes. Refer to Figure 5 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 0.150 inch (3.
www.seagate.com 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.

www.seagate.com 4.3 Supported ATA commands The following table lists SATA standard commands that the drive supports. For a detailed description of the ATA commands, refer to the Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.0 (http://www.sata-io.org). See “S.M.A.R.T. commands” on page 29 for details and subcommands used in the S.M.A.R.T. implementation.

www.seagate.com 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 on page 23. 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.

www.seagate.com Bit Word 84 0 SMART error login is supported. 1 SMART self-test is supported. 2 Media serial number is supported. 3 Media Card Pass Through Command feature set is supported. 4 Streaming feature set is supported. 5 GPL feature set is supported. 6 WRITE DMA FUA EXT and WRITE MULTIPLE FUA EXT commands are supported. 7 WRITE DMA QUEUED FUA EXT command is supported. 8 64-bit World Wide Name is supported. 9-10 Obsolete. 11-12 Reserved for TLC.
www.seagate.com 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.
www.seagate.com 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.
