3.8.2 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 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz. • 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.
3.8.4 Power-management modes PowerChoiceTM power management Drives using the load/unload architecture provide programmable power management to tailor systems for performance and greater energy efficiency. The table below lists the supported PowerChoice modes. The further you go down in the table, the more power savings you get. For example, Idle_B mode results in greater power savings than Idle_A mode. Standby mode results in the greatest power savings.
3.9 Environmental specifications 3.9.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 60°C (140°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly to 112°F (44°C) at 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). Operating: 5° to 55°C (41° to 131°F) Nonoperating: –40° to 70°C (–40° to 158°F) 3.9.
3.9.6 Vibration 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. 3.9.6.1 Operating vibration The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document are specified below. 5–22 Hz 0.25 Gs (Limited displacement) 22–350 Hz 0.50 Gs 350–500 Hz 0.25 Gs 3.9.6.
3.10 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.
3.12 Reliability 3.12.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) The product shall achieve an Annualized Failure Rate - AFR - of 0.73% (Mean Time Between Failures - MTBF - of 1.2 Million hours) 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 3.9 may increase the product Annualized Failure Rate (decrease MTBF).

4.5 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 3.9.1, "Ambient 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 3.9.1.
5.0 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. 5.

5.3.1 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 Table 6 on page 27. 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. See Section 3.0 on page 5 for default parameter settings.
Word Description Value 60–61 Total number of user-addressable LBA sectors available (see Section 3.2 for related information) *Note: The maximum value allowed in this field is: 0FFFFFFFh (268,435,455 sectors, 137 Gbytes). Drives with capacities over 137 Gbytes will have 0FFFFFFFh in this field and the actual number of user-addressable LBAs specified in words 100-103. This is required for drives that support the 48-bit addressing feature.
Word Description Value 108–111 The mandatory value of the world wide name (WWN) for the drive. NOTE: This field is valid if word 84, bit 8 is set to 1 indicating 64-bit WWN support. Each drive will have a unique value. 112–127 ATA-reserved 0000H 128 Security status 0001H 129–159 Seagate-reserved xxxxH 160–254 ATA-reserved 0000H 255 Integrity word xxA5H Note. See the bit descriptions below for words 63, 84, and 88 of the Identify Drive data.
32 Bit Word 88 0 Ultra DMA mode 0 is supported. 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.
5.3.2 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.
5.3.3 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.
