2.7 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 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
2.9 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. 2.9.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 8. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, 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.
2.9.1.1 Typical current profile Figure 1. Typical +5V only startup and operation current profile 2.9.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. 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 10 MHz. Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current. 2.9.
2.9.4 Power-management modes The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management through the system setup program.
2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Base plate temperature Actual drive base plate temperature should not exceed 70°C (158°F). Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 feet.

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.
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. This means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices. 3.
3.4 Drive mounting You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: • Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling. • Use only M3 UNC mounting screws. • Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 inch-lb. (0.4519 N-m). • Four (4) threads (0.080 inches, 2.
Measurements shown in Figure 3 are in inches. Figure 3. Mounting dimensions—top, side and end view 22 Pipeline HD Mini Series SATA Product Manual, Rev.
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.

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 the table on page 27. 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 Serial ATA specification.
Word Description Value 59 Number of sectors transferred during a Read Multiple or Write Multiple command xxxxH 60–61 Total number of user-addressable sectors This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number of user-addressable sectors. The maximum value that shall be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh. The 0FFFFFFFh value applies to all capacities over 137Gbytes (see Section 2.2 and 2.3 for related information).
Word Description Value 94 Auto acoustic management setting xxxxH 95–99 ATA-reserved 0000H 100–103 Total number of user-addressable LBA sectors available (see Section 2.2 for related information) These words are required for drives that support the 48bit addressing feature. Maximum value: 0000FFFFFFFFFFFFh.
Bit Word 88 0 Ultra DMA mode 0 is supported. 1 Ultra DMA mode 1 is supported. 2 Ultra DMA mode 2 is supported. 3 Ultra DMA mode 3 is supported. 4 Ultra DMA mode 4 is supported. 5 Ultra DMA mode 5 is supported 6 Ultra DMA mode 6 is supported 8 Ultra DMA mode 0 is currently active. 9 Ultra DMA mode 1 is currently active. 10 Ultra DMA mode 2 is currently active. 11 Ultra DMA mode 3 is currently active. 12 Ultra DMA mode 4 is currently active. 13 Ultra DMA mode 5 is currently active.
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.
4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disc 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.
