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 users to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the 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.

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.

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.

2.5 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 5000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Table 2 Typical seek times

Typical seek times (ms)	Read
Track-to-track	1.5
Average	13.0
Average latency	5.6

Note

These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

2.6 Start/stop times

Table 3 Start/stop times

Typical seek times (ms) Typical Max @ 25°C
Power-on to ready (sec) 0.6 0.8
Standby to ready (sec) 2.5 3.0

2.7 Power Specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector (refer to Figure 3).

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 DIPM enabled.

• Spinup current is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
• Read/Write current is measured with the heads on track, based on three 64 sector read or write operations every 100 ms.
- The drive supports three idle modes: Performance Idle mode, Active Idle mode and Low Power Idle mode. Refer to Section 2.7.4 for power-management modes.

Table 4 DC Power Requirements

Power Dissipation	2-Disk models +5V input average (25°C)	1-Disk models +5V input average (25°C)
Spinup (max) 1.00A
Write average 1.80W	1.70W
Read average	1.70W	1.60W
Idle, low power mode	0.50W	0.45W
Standby(1)	0.13W
Sleep	0.13W

1. Standby power is measured at steady state (after 200ms from transition)

2.7.1.1 Typical current profiles

The typical 5V startup and operation current profile is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Figure 1 Typical 1D - 5V Startup and Operation Current Profile

Figure 2 Typical 2D - 5V Startup and Operation Current Profile

2.7.2 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 20 MHz.

Note

Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

2.7.3 Supply Voltage

Allowable voltage 5V ± 5%
Allowable noise/ripple 100 p-p max, 0-20 MHz
Allowable supply rise time <100 ms

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:

Power modes Heads Spindle Electronics
Active (operating)	Tracking	Rotating	Full power
Idle, performance	Tracking	Rotating	Partial Power
Idle, active	Floating	Rotating	Partial Power
Idle, low power	Parked	Rotating	Partial Power
Standby	Parked	Stopped	Low Power
Sleep	Parked	Stopped	Low Power

- Active mode

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

n Idle mode

The electronics remains powered, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.

- Standby mode

The drive enters Standby mode immediately 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 electronics are in low power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.

n Sleep mode

The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the electronics are in low power mode, 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.

n 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.

2.8 Environmental Specifications

This section provides the temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration specifications for FireCuda drives.

Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive.

Above 1000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 feet.

Table 5: Environmental specifications

Note	The recommended storage period:• 1 year under controlled conditions of 34°C 90%RH or less• 90 days in uncontrolled storage conditions

2.8.1 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.

2.8.1.1 Operating shock

These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 400 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2ms. Shocks should not be repeated more than one time per axis.

2.8.1.2 Non-operating shock

The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation is 1000 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse of 1 ms duration.

2.8.2 Vibration

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.

2.8.2.1 Operating vibration

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

5–200 Hz 2.0	Gs (0 to peak). Max displacement may apply below 10 Hz.
201–500 Hz 1.0	Gs (0 to peak).

2.8.2.2 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.

5–500 Hz 5.0 Gs (0 to peak). Max displacement may apply below 22 Hz.

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.

Table 6 Drive A-weighted Sound Power Levels (SWL, BA)

Models 2-Disk 1-Disk
Idle^(1)	2.2 bels (typ)2.4 bels (max)	2.0 bels (typ)2.2 bels (max)
Performance Seek	2.4 bels (typ)2.6 bels (max)	2.2 bels (typ)2.4 bels (max)

1. 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.

2.9.1 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.

2.15 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.

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.

CAUTION

Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until 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 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 warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

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 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 shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Attaching SATA Cabling

Signal connector Power connector Signal cable Power cable

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation.

3.3 Drive Grounding

Care should be taken when mounting the drive in a system chassis. The drive should be mounted using four screws in the side mounting holes (positions A, B, C, and D as in Figure 4 and Figure 5) or bottom mounting holes (positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 as in Figure 5) grounded to the system chassis. At least one mounting screw is required for proper grounding. See Figure 4 for drive grounding using four screws in the side mounting holes and Figure 5 for drive grounding using four screws in the bottom mounting holes. The sidewall surfaces A1, A2, A3 (cross-hatched green shaded areas as in Figure 4) and the green highlighted area (as labeled in Figure 5) should not be used for system grounding purposes.

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 15 Set Features command values

02_H	Enable write cache (default).
03_H	Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).Sector Count register values: 00_H Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2). 01_H Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2). 08_H PIO mode 0 09_H PIO mode 1 0A_H PIO mode 2 0B_H PIO mode 3 0C_H PIO mode 4 (default) 20_H Multiword DMA mode 0 21_H Multiword DMA mode 1 22_H Multiword DMA mode 2 40_H Ultra DMA mode 0 41_H Ultra DMA mode 1 42_H Ultra DMA mode 2 43_H Ultra DMA mode 3 44_H Ultra DMA mode 4 45_H Ultra DMA mode 5 46_H Ultra DMA mode 6
55_H	Disable read look-ahead (read cache) feature.
82_H	Disable write cache
AA_H	Enable read look-ahead (read cache) feature (default).
C1_H	Disable the Free Fall Protection feature ( 41_H above enables the Free Fall Protection feature)
F1_H	Report full capacity available

Note

At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as indicated above

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 D4) 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. Users 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 16 S.M.A.R.T. Commands

Code in features register S.M.A.R.T. command
D0_H	S.M.A.R.T. Read Data
D2_H	S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave
D3_H	S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values
D4_H	S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (runs DST)
D5_H	S.M.A.R.T. Read Log Sector
D6_H	S.M.A.R.T. Write Log Sector
D8_H	S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations
D9_H	S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations
DA_H	S.M.A.R.T. Return Status

Note

If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x04 (abort) is written to the Error register.
