Non-operating -200 to +40,000 feet (-61 to +12,210 meters) 2.9.4 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. 2.9.4.
2.10 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.
2.12 Reliability 2.12.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) The product shall achieve an Annualized Failure Rate - AFR - of 0.62% (Mean Time Between Failures - MTBF - of 1.4 Million hrs) when operated in an environment that ensures the HDA case temperatures do not exceed 40°C. Operation at case temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.9 may increase the product Annualized Failure Rate (decrease MTBF).
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.
2.14 Environmental protection Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances. 2.14.1 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.
2.16 Reference documents Self-Encrypting Drives Reference Manual Seagate part number: 100515636 Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Documents (apply to Self-Encrypting Drive models only) TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification, Rev. 1.0 TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class Enterprise Specification, Rev. 1.0 In case of conflict between this document and any referenced document, this document takes precedence. 2.
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.
3.2 Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA 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 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.
3.4.1 Mechanical specifications Refer to Figure 6, page 30 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 3.4, “Drive mounting. 1TB models 500GB models 250GB models Weight: (maximum) Note. 200 g (0.441 lb) 183 g (0.403 lb) 179 g (0.395 lb) These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8201 and SFF-8223 found at www.sffcommittee.org. in mm in mm in mm Figure 6. Mounting dimensions—top, side and end view Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev.
3.5 Cooling Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in Section 2.9.1, "Temperature." The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal from the electronics and head and disc assembly (HDA). You should confirm that adequate heat removal is provided using the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 2.9.1.
4.0 About FIPS The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. Government Computer Security Standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled 'Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS PUB 140-2)' and is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
5.0 About 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) Enterprise Storage Specifications as detailed in Section 2.16. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital communications industry.
5.2.3 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. 5.
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. 5.8 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.
6.0 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. For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. 6.1 Hot-Plug compatibility Constellation.

These words are required for drives that support the 48-bit addressing feature. Maximum value: 0000FFFFFFFFFFFFh. 1000GB models = 1,953,525,168 500GB models = 976,773,168 250GB models = 488,397,168 104–107 ATA-reserved 0000H 108–111 The mandatory value of the world wide name (WWN) for the drive.
1 Ultra DMA mode 1 is supported. 2 Ultra DMA mode 2 is supported. 3 Ultra DMA mode 3 is supported. 4 Ultra DMA mode 4 is supported. 5 Ultra DMA mode 5 is supported. 6 Ultra DMA mode 6 is supported. 8 Ultra DMA mode 0 is currently active. 9 Ultra DMA mode 1 is currently active. 10 Ultra DMA mode 2 is currently active. 11 Ultra DMA mode 3 is currently active. 12 Ultra DMA mode 4 is currently active. 13 Ultra DMA mode 5 is currently active. 14 Ultra DMA mode 6 is currently active.
6.3.2 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.
6.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disc 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.
