1.0 Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate Pipeline HD®Mini Series SATA model drives: • ST9500323CS • ST9320328CS • ST9250311CS • ST91603110CS These drives provide the following key features: • 5,400-RPM spindle speed. • 8-Mbyte buffer. • Quiet operation. Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor. • High instantaneous (burst) data rate 3.0 Gbits/sec default, 1.5 Gbit/sec available via Seagate specific SCT command.
In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal. The Serial ATA interface connects each disc 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.
2.0 Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate the Pipeline HD Mini Series SATA models. 2.1 Specification summary table The specifications listed in this table are for quick reference. For details on specification measurement or definition, see the appropriate section of this manual.

Table 2: Typical seek times Track-to-track (typical) 1 Average (typical) 14 Full-stroke (max) 30 Average latency 5.56 Note. 2.8 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.
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/write electronics are in power-down model Table 3: DC power Power dissipation +5V input average (25° C) ST9500323CS and ST9320328CS ST9250311CS and ST91603110CS Spinup (max) 1 amp Seek 1.54 watts IDEMA 3 Stream 1.7 watts Idle, performance* 1.5 watts Idle, active* 0.90 watts 0.81 watts Idle, low power mode* 0.72 watts 0.67 watts Standby** 0.40 watts Sleep 0.40 watts 1.
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. 2.9.3 Voltage tolerance Voltage tolerance (including noise): 5V ± 5% 2.9.
• 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 disc access is necessary. 2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.
2.10.5 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. 2.10.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 350 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more than two times per second. 2.10.5.

Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs) Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs.

Korean RRL If these drives have the Korean Communications Commission (KCC) logo, they comply with paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Electromagnetic Compatibility control Regulation and meet the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) Communications Commission, Republic of Korea. These drives have been tested and comply with the Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMI/EMS) for Class B products.
2.15.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 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. 2.15.

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.
