One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals
1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to storage capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from
the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors.

1.0 DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
1.1 General Description
HGST Travelstar 2.5 inch hard drives combine a high performance 7200 RPM spin speed, 32 MB
cache and SATA 6 Gb/s interface for the ultimate in power computing for notebooks.
1.2 Product Features
Serial ATA (SATA) — Serial ATA (SATA) is the next generation bus interface for
2.5-inch hard drives. It is designed to replace Parallel ATA, and has many advantages
including increased transfer rate, improved signal integrity, enhanced data protection, and hot
plug support.
Advanced Format (AF) — Technology adopted by HGST and other drive manufacturers to
increase media format efficiencies, thus enabling larger drive capacities.
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) — With PMR technology the magnetization of
each data bit is aligned vertically to the spinning disk, rather than longitudinally as has been
the case in hard drive technology for decades. This enables more data on a given disk than is
possible with conventional longitudinal recording, and provides a platform for future
expansion of hard drive densities.
Reduced Power Spinup (RPS) — HGST’s optimized start up feature specifically designed for
the external hard drive and Consumer Electronics (CE) market. Specific focus for RPS is to
minimize the duration and magnitude of the peak power consumption from the hard drive.
System-on-Chip - The System-on-Chip (SOC) is the foundation for HGST's next generation
electronics and firmware architecture. The native SATA SOC lowers component count by
integrating a hard disk controller, high performance processor, high speed execution SRAM,
and read channel in a 128-pin package.
S.M.A.R.T. Command Transport (SCT) — The SCT Command Transport feature set provides
a method for a host to send commands and data to a device and for a device to send data and
status to a host using log pages.
Reliability Features Set-Data Lifeguard™ — Representing HGST's ongoing commitment to
data protection, Data Lifeguard includes features that enhance the drive’s ability to prevent
data loss. Data Lifeguard data protection utilities include thermal management, an
environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features that
automatically detect, isolate, and repair problem areas that may develop over the extended use
of the hard drive. With these enhanced data reliability features, the drive can perform more
accurate monitoring, error repair, and deliver exceptional data security.
Hot Plug Support — SATA supports hot plugging (also known as “hot swapping”), the ability
to swap out a failed hard drive without having to power down the system or reboot. This
capability contributes to both data availability and serviceability without any associated
downtime, making it a critical feature for extending SATA into enterprise applications.
Active LED Status — These drives support external LED requirements. It provides an activity
LED output which is ON during command execution and OFF otherwise.
Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) — Bearing design that incorporates a layer of high-viscosity
lubricant instead of ball bearings in the hard drive spindle motor. As an alternative to
conventional ball bearing technology, FDB designs provide increased non-operational shock
resistance, speed control, and improved acoustics.
Staggered Spin-Up — Native SATA feature that allows the system to control whether the drive
will spin up immediately or wait until the interface is fully ready.
HGST Hard Disk Drive Technical Reference Manual

CacheFlow™ —HGST’s unique, multi-generation caching algorithm evaluates the way data is
read from and written to the drive and adapts “on-the-fly” to the optimum read and write caching
methods. CacheFlow minimizes disk seek operations and overheads due to rotational latency.
CacheFlow supports sequential and random write cache. With write cache and other CacheFlow
features, the user can cache both read and write data. The cache can hold multiple writes and collectively write them to the hard drive.
48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) — HGST SATA drives support both 48-bit and 28-bit
LBA and CHS-based addressing. LBA is included in advanced BIOS and operating system
device drivers and ensures high capacity disk integration.
Power Management — HGST SATA drives support the ATA and Serial ATA power
management command set, allowing the host to reduce the power consumption of the drive by
issuing a variety of power management commands.
Automatic Defect Retirement — If the HGST SATA drive detects a defective sector while
reading, writing, or performing offline data collection, it automatically relocates the sector
without end-user intervention.
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) — S.M.A.R.T. enables a
drive’s internal status to be monitored through diagnostic commands at the host level and
during offline activities. S.M.A.R.T. devices employ data analysis algorithms that are used to
predict the likelihood of some near-term degradation or fault conditions. When used with a
S.M.A.R.T. application, the drive can alert the host system of a negative reliability status
condition. The host system can then warn the user of the impending risk of data loss and
recommend an appropriate action.
ATA Security — HGST SATA drives support the ATA Security Mode Feature set. The ATA
Security Mode feature set allows the user to create a device lock password that prevents
unauthorized hard disk access even if the drive is removed from the host computer. The
correct password must be supplied to the hard drive in order to access user data. Both the User
and Master Password features are supported, along with the High and Maximum security
modes. The Master Password Revision code is also supported.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and
one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As
used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte
