1.0 Scope This manual describes Seagate Technology® LLC, Barracuda® ES.2 SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) disk drives. Barracuda ES.2 drives support the SAS Protocol specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) describes the general SAS characteristics of Barracuda ES.2 and other Seagate SAS drives. Barracuda ES.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev.
2 Barracuda ES.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev.
2.0 Standards, compliance and reference documents The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The drive depends on its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment for optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regulation.
2.2 Compliance 2.2.1 Electromagnetic compliance Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the directives/standards for CE Marking and C-Tick Marking. The drive was tested in a representative system for typical applications. The selected system represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms.

3.0 General description Barracuda ES.2 drives combine Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) heads and a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface to provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. The Serial Attached SCSI interface is designed to meet next-generation computing demands for performance, scalability, flexibility and high-density storage requirements. Barracuda ES.
3.1 Standard features Barracuda ES.2 SAS drives have the following standard features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Perpendicular recording technology 1.5 / 3 Gbit Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface Integrated dual port SAS controller Support for SAS expanders and fanout adapters Downloadable firmware using the SAS interface 128 - deep task set (queue) Supports up to 32 initiators Jumperless configuration.
3.5 Formatted capacities Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is selectable at format time and must be a multiple of 4 bytes. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed. To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes: 1.

4.0 Performance characteristics This section provides detailed information concerning performance-related characteristics and features of Barracuda ES.2 SAS drives. 4.
4.2.2 Format command execution time (minutes) ST31000640SS ST3750630SS ST3500620SS Maximum (with verify) 400 300 200 Maximum (without verify) 200 150 100 Execution time measured from receipt of the last byte of the Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to the request for a Status Byte Transfer to the Initiator (excluding connect/disconnect). 4.2.
4.4 Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in page 08h.
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made available for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of RCD.
5.0 Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Read Error Rates1 Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data Interface error rate: MTBF Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) Preventive maintenance: 1.
5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key. Recoverable seek errors are specified at Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks.
5.2.4 S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs. Note. The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation over time but can’t predict instantaneous drive failures.
Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to set thresholds for the number of errors and their interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of errors does not exceed the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable.
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical block address (LBA) of the drive. The short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media. If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. 5.2.7.
Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan segment. Short test (Function Code: 001b) The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within 120 seconds. The short test does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media. A complete read/verify scan is not performed and only factual failures will report a fault condition.

7.0 Defect and error management Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation. SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single reread or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts. Table 5 equates the read and write retry count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write recovery of individual LBAs.
7.3 SAS system errors Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SAS Interface Manual. The SSP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive. Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the SAS Interface Manual.
7.6 Deferred Auto-Reallocation Deferred Auto-Reallocation (DAR) simplifies reallocation algorithms at the system level by allowing the drive to reallocate unreadable locations on a subsequent write command. Sites are marked for DAR during read operations performed by the drive. When a write command is received for an LBA marked for DAR, the auto-reallocation process is invoked and attempts to rewrite the data to the original location.
8.0 Installation Barracuda ES.2 disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive. SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accommodate the drive. In such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray into which you need to mount the drive. Mount the drive to the carrier or tray provided by the host system using four 6-32 UNC screws.
8.2 Cooling The host enclosure must dissipate heat from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is designed to ensure that the drive operates within the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 6.4.1. In some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in Section 6.4.1. If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 11.
8.3 Drive mounting Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm).

9.0 Interface requirements This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on Barracuda ES.2 drives. Additional information is provided in the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071). 9.1 SAS features This section lists the SAS-specific features supported by Barracuda ES.2 drives. 9.1.1 task management functions Table 6 lists the SAS task management functions supported.
9.2 Dual port support Barracuda ES.2 SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports run at the same link rate. The first port to successfully complete speed negotiation sets the link rate support by both ports. When the second port participates in speed negotiation, it indicates the only supported speed is the speed selected by the first port.

SAS transmitters and receivers 9.4.7 Power Receiver 100 RY .01 The drive receives power (+5 volts and +12 volts) through the SAS device connector. Three +12 volt pins provide power to the drive, 2 short and 1 long.
The Ready LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +3.3 volt supply through an appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resistor are external to the drive. See Table 14 for the output characteristics of the LED drive signals.

9.5.2.2 Transmitter signal characteristics Table 16 specifies the signal requirements at the transmitter end of a TxRx connection as measured into the zero-length test load. All specifications are based on differential measurements. The OOB sequence is performed at signal voltage levels corresponding to the lowest supported transfer rate. Table 16 specifies the signal characteristics. Table 16: Transmitter signal characteristics Signal characteristica Units 1.5 Gbps 3.
9.5.2.3 Receiver signal characteristics Table 17 defines the compliance point requirements of the signal at the receiver end of a TxRx connection as measured into the test loads specified in figure 19 and figure 20.

A combination of a zero-length test load and the transmitter compliance transfer function (TCTF) test load methodology is used for the specification of transmitter characteristics. This methodology specifies the transmitter signal at the test points on the required test loads. The transmitter uses the same settings (e.g., preemphasis, voltage swing) with both the zero-length test load and the TCTF test load. The signal specifications at IR are met under each of these loading conditions.

9.5.2.5 Receiver characteristics The drive receiver is A.C. coupled. The receive network terminates the TxRx connection by a 100 ohm equivalent impedance as specified in table 20. The receiver operates within a BER of 10-12 when a SAS signal with valid voltage and timing characteristics is delivered to the compliance point from a 100 ohm source. The received SAS signal are considered valid if it meets the voltage and timing limits specified in table 17.
