About the SATA Interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface offers several advantages over the traditional ATA interface. These advantages include:

• Higher data transfer rates
• Improved system performance
• Hot-swapping support
• Thinner cables for better airflow
• Backward compatibility with legacy software

The SATA interface allows for easy transition from parallel ATA by providing legacy software support. It enables users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in their current system while expecting all existing applications to function normally. In a SATA configuration, each disk drive is connected to the SATA host adapter in a point-to-point setup. Unlike parallel ATA, there is no master/slave relationship with SATA devices. If two drives are attached to one SATA host adapter, the host operating system treats them as separate devices and does not assign a master/slave designation. Both drives are recognized as Device 0 (master) devices by the system. Note that some host adapters may emulate a master/slave environment for host software. In this scenario, two devices on separate SATA ports are represented as Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. However, this is not a typical SATA environment.

• SeaTools™ diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.
• Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.
• Archive HDDs are not intended for surveillance or NAS applications and may experience lower performance in these environments. For NAS and Surveillance applications, Seagate NAS HDD and Surveillance HDD are suggested for better performance and reliability

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 the user to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all 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.

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.
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 3.0”. The specification can be downloaded from www.sata- io.org.

Recording and interface technology

Physical characteristics

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.

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.

Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 3 on page 15.

Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 2:. 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.

• Spin up power
  Spin up power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

• Seek mode
  During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power represents the worst-case power consumption, using only random seeks with read or write latency time. This mode is not typical and is provided for worst-case information.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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 4.

Reliability

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The product shall achieve an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of <1% (MTBF of 800K hours) when operated at an nominal power and typical case temperatures of 40°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.8 Environmental specifications may increase the product AFR (decrease MTBF). AFR and MTBF are population statistics that are not relevant to individual units.

AFR and MTBF specifications are based on the following assumptions for business critical storage system environments:

• 8760 power-on-hours per year.
• Operations at nominal voltages.
• Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.8 Environmental specifications may reduce the product reliability.
• A workload rate below the average annualized specified limits. Operation at excessive I/O duty cycle may degrade product reliability.

The enterprise application nearline environment of power-on-hours, temperature, and I/O duty cycle affect the product AFR and MTBF.

The AFR specification for the drive assumes the I/O workload does not exceed the Average Annualized Workload Rate Limit of <180TB/year. Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the drive AFR and impact product reliability. The Average Annualized Workload Rate Limit is in units of TB per year, or TB per 8760 power on hours. Workload Rate = TB transferred x (8760 / recorded power on hours).

Seagate has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disk drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation with non-certified assemblies is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception. Radio and television interference. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, users are encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.

If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Users may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-Television Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Refer to publication number 004-000-00345-4.

Environmental protection
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances.

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. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive.

China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains information mandated by China’s “Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products” Standard.

• “O” indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogeneous material level) is lower than the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.
• “X” indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogeneous material level) is over the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.

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.

Configuring and Mounting the Drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

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

• 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 it is mounted 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.

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 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 5 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 3.
Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Archive HDD drives support latching SATA connectors.

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 4 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 (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).

Weight: (maximum) 655g (1.44 lb)

Note
These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8301 and SFF-8323 found at www.sffcommittee.org

About (SED) Self-Encrypting Drives

Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as “protection of data at rest.” These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal Storage Specifications as detailed in the following:
Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Documents (apply to Self-Encrypting Drive models only) TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification, Version 2.0 TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class Opal Specification, Version 2.0 (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org) In case of conflict between this document and any referenced document, this document takes precedence. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG.

To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two SATA commands:

• Trusted Send
•  Trusted Receive

These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.

Data Encryption
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each drive employing AES-256 data encryption in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engine is always in operation and cannot be disabled. The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM) external to the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive’s possible16 data bands (see Section 4.5 Data Bands).

Controlled Access
The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the “Admin SP” and the “Locking SP.” These act as gatekeepers to the drive security services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is authorized to perform the command.

Admin SP
The Admin SP allows the drive’s owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 4.4 Drive Locking). Access to the Admin SP is available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.

Locking SP
The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using the Admin or User passwords.

Default password
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be read by the host electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password as the authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.

ATA Enhanced Security
The drive can utilize the system’s BIOS through the ATA Security API for cases that do not require password management and additional security policies. Furthermore, the drive’s ATA Security Erase Unit command shall support both Normal and Enhanced Erase modes with the following modifications/additions:
Normal Erase: Normal erase feature shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key (DEK) of the drive, followed by an overwrite operation that repeatedly writes a single sector containing random data to the entire drive. This write operation bypasses the media encryption. On reading back the overwritten sectors, the host will receive a decrypted version, using the new DEK of the random data sector (the returned data will not match what was written).
Enhanced Erase: Enhanced erase shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key of the drive.

Random Number Generator (RNG)
The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide random numbers to the host for system use, including using these numbers as Authentication Keys (passwords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.

Drive Locking
In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 4.2.3 Default password, the owner should also set the data access controls for the individual bands. The variable “Lock On Reset” should be set to “Power Cycle” to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. In addition “Read Lock Enabled” and “Write Lock Enabled” must be set to true in the locking table in order for the bands “Lock On Reset” setting of “Power Cycle” to actually lock access to the band when a “Power Cycle” event occurs. This scenario occurs if the drive is removed from its cabinet. The drive will not honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been unlocked. This prevents the user data from being accessed without the appropriate credentials when the drive has been removed from its cabinet and installed in another system.

Data Bands
When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (also known as the Global Data Band) which comprises LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate additional bands (Band1 to Band15) by specifying a start LBA and an LBA range. The real estate for this band is taken from the Global Band. Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one band ending at LBA (x) and the next beginning at LBA (x+1). Each data band has its own drive-generated encryption key. The host may change the Encryption Key (see Section 4.6 Cryptographic Erase) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4K LBA boundaries.

Cryptographic Erase
A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the data encryption key for a particular band. Once changed, the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and will be read using a different key. Since the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes, the user data can never be recovered. This is tantamount to an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be scrapped or redispositioned.

Authenticated Firmware Download
In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download files which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.

Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:

1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.
2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.
3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable to the correct drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.

Power Requirements
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 30mA and a commensurate increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply. See the tables in section 2.7,Power specifications” for power requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.

Supported Commands
The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED) models as listed in section 5.3, Supported ATA commands”:

• Trusted Send
• Trusted Receive

RevertSP
SED models will support the RevertSP feature which erases all data in all bands on the device and returns the contents of all SPs (Security Providers) on the device to their original factory state. In order to execute the RevertSP method the unique PSID (Physical Secure ID) printed on the drive label must be provided. PSID is not electronically accessible and can only be manually read from the drive label or scanned in via the 2D barcode.

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.

Hot-Plug compatibility
Seagate Archive HDD drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the SATA Revision 3.0 specification. This specification can be downloaded from

Caution
The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 2.6) prior to changing the plane of operation.This time is required to insure data integrity.

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:

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://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/. This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. The system 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.

Note
If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x 04 (abort) is written to the Error register.
