Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate® BarraCuda® model drives:
- ST2000DM008
- ST1000DM014
These drives provide the following key features:
- Compliant with RoHS requirements in China and Europe.
- High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second).
- Native Command Queuing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.
- Quiet operation.
- SeaToolsTM diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
- State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
- 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.
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 users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the 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. 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.
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.

Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power
connector. Refer to Figure 1 on page 16.
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.
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 2 DC power requirements for 2TB and 1TB models
Power dissipation| Avg (watts 25° C)| Avg 12V
type amps
---|---|---
Spinup| —| 2.0
Idle, Low Power| 3.9|
Read/Write| 5.1|
Standby| 0.3|
Sleep| 0.3|
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 200 mV peak-to-peak sine-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz.
- Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 150 mV peak-to-peak sine-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz.
Note Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.
Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
- 5V ±5%
- 12V ±10%
Power-management modes
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy
efficiency. In most systems, users can control power management through the
system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:
Power modes | Heads | Spindle | Electronics |
---|---|---|---|
Active | Tracking | Rotating | Full Power |
Idle, Performance | Tracking | Rotating | Full 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.
Idle mode
The electronics remain 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 enters
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.
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.
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.
Environmental specifications
This section provides the temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration
specifications for Barracuda drives. Ambient temperature is defined as the
temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Above
1000ft. (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every
1000 ft. Refer to Section 3.4 on page 17 for base plate measurement location.
Ambient Temperature
- Non-operating (Ambient) –40° to 70°C (–40° to 158°F)
- Operating ambient (min °C) 0° (32°F)
- Operating (Drive case max °C) 60° (140°F) †
- Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained case temperatures above 60°C. Operating at higher temperatures will reduce useful life of the product.

Shock and Vibration
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.
Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document
when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 80 Gs (read) / 70 Gs (write)
based on half-sine shock pulses of 2ms during read operations. Shocks should
not be repeated more than two times per second.
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 350 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock pulse of
2ms duration.
Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the
performance standards specified in this document are specified below.
- 10Hz to 22Hz 0.25 Gs (Limited displacement)
- 22Hz to 350Hz 0.50 Gs
- 350Hz to 500Hz 0.25 Gs
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. Throughput may vary if improperly mounted.
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.
- 5Hz to 22Hz 3.0 Gs (Limited displacement)
- 22Hz to 350Hz 3.0 Gs
- 350Hz to 500Hz 3.0 Gs
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. The number of
seeks per second is defined by the following equation: (Number of seeks per
second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time
Table 3 Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor acoustics

---|---|---|
All models | 2.8 bels (typical) |
2.9 bels (max)
| 3.1 bels (typical)
3.3 bels (max)
Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for the 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 the 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.

Warranty
To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access
the following web page: www.seagate.com/support/warranty-and-replacements/
From this page,
click on “Is my Drive under Warranty”. Users will be asked to provide the
drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase.
The system will display the warranty information for the drive.
Storage
Maximum storage periods are 180 days within the original unopened Seagate
shipping package or 60 days unpackaged within the defined non-operating limits
(refer to the environmental section in this manual). Storage can be extended
to 1 year packaged or unpackaged under optimal environmental conditions (25°C,
<40% relative humidity non-condensing, and non-corrosive environment). During
any storage period the drive non-operational temperature, humidity, wet bulb,
atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field
specifications should be followed.
Data loss under power interruption with write cache enabled
Drive preserves its data during all operations except in cases where the power
to the drive is interrupted during write operations. This could result in
either an uncorrected data error being reported, or the entire sector/track
becoming unreadable. This can be permanently recovered by rewriting to the
same location on the drive. Additionally, any data present in the DRAM buffer
will not be written to the disk media, additionally, the drive will not be
able to return the original data. To prevent this data loss, the host should
issue a standby immediate or flush cache command before a controlled power off
operation to the drive.
HDD and SSD Regulatory Compliance and Safety

page and click the Compliance, Safety and Disposal Guide link.
Regulatory models
The following regulatory model number represents all features and
configurations within the series: Regulatory Model Numbers: SKR005
Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing
equivalent to 10 years of 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 when 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 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.
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 driver 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 drives are designed for
easy installation. It is usually not necessary to set any jumpers on the drive
for proper operation; however, if users connect the drive and receive a “drive
not detected” error, the SATA-equipped motherboard or host adapter may use a
chipset that does not support SATA speed auto-negotiation.
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 that require cables, users can connect the
drive as illustrated in Figure 1.
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate BarraCuda 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 2
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 0.140 inch (3.56 mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
- Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 8 inch-lbs max).
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 BarraCuda drives incorporate connectors that enable users to hot plug
these drives per the SATA Revision 3.2 specification. This specification can
be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

- All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (0.050 in) pitch.
- The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of the backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are:
- the ground pins P4 and P12.
- the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins.
- the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.
- There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge when installed in a blind-mate backplane configuration.
- All used voltage pins (Vx) must be terminated.
Supported ATA commands
The following table lists the 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 (www.sata-
io.org). See “S.M.A.R.T. commands” on page 27 for
details and subcommands used in the S.M.A.R.T. implementation.

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 “Supported ATA commands”
on page 19. 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.

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 8 Set Features command
02H | Enable write cache (default) |
---|---|
03H | Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register) Sector Count |
register values:
| 00H Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2)
| 01H Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2)
| 08H PIO mode 0
| 09H PIO mode 1

At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of
the features are as indicated above.
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:
seatools.seagate.com.
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 9 S.M.A.R.T. commands
Code in features register | S.M.A.R.T. command |
---|---|
D0H | S.M.A.R.T. Read Data |
D1H | S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Threshold |
D2H | S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave |
D3H | S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values |
D4H | S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (runs DST) |
D5H | S.M.A.R.T. Read Log Sector |
D6H | S.M.A.R.T. Write Log Sector |
D8H | S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations |
D9H | S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations |
DAH | 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.
