1.2Models
The Ultrastar XP SSA disk drive is available in various models as shown below.
The Ultrastar XP SSA d at a storage capacities vary as a function of model and user block size. The
emerging industry trend is capacity poi nt s in multiples of 1.08GB (i.e. 1.08/2.16/4.32) at a block size of 512
bytes. Future IB M products will plan to provide capacities that are consistent with this trend. Users that
choose t o make full use of the Ultrastar XP SSA drive capacity above the standard capacity points may n ot
find equivalent capacity breakpoints in future products.

2.1General
Note: Th e recording band located nearest t he disk outer diameter (OD ) is referred to as 'Notch #1'. While
the recording band located nearest the inner diameter (ID) is called 'Notch #10'. 'Average' values are
weighted with respect to th e number of LBAs per notch when the drive is formatted with 512 byte blocks.
The next group of equations must be calculated separately for each notch.
user bytes/sector (ub/sct) =
user sectors/cyl (us/cyl) = (sct/trk)(trk/cyl) - spr/cyl
spares/notch (spr/nch) = (spr/cyl)(ucyl)
Note: Add lcspr t o the equation above for the notch closest t o the inner diameter (#10).
user sectors/notch (us/nch) = (us/cyl)(ucyl)
Note: Subtract lcspr from the equation above for the notch closest to the inner diameter (#10).

2. 2Power Requirements by Model
2.2.1C1x Models
The following voltage specifications apply at the drive power connector. There is no special power on/off
sequencing required. Th e extra power needed for Brick O n Sled mod els a nd t h e +38V power option are
described in 2.2.4, “CxB Models” on page 33.
Input Voltage
+ 5 Volts Supply5V (± 5% during r un a n d spin-up)
+1 2 Volts Supply12V (± 5% during ru n) ( +5 % / -7% during spin-up)
The following current values are the combination measured values of SCSI models an d SSA Cx4 model. T he
differences between SCSI and SSA is +5 V currents. Because of different interface electronics a n d speed, SSA
electronics card requires more +5 V current than SCSI. Read/Write Base Line is 290 m a higher. Idle
Average is 500 ma higher. (290ma an d 500ma differences were found by measuring SSA Cx4 model). SSA
+5V current numbers are derived from SCSI +5 V current numbers by adding 290ma a n d 500ma accordingly.
See Figure 1 on page 18 for a plot of ho w the read/write baseline a n d read/write pulse s um together.
2
Th e idle average an d seek peek should be added together to determine the total 12 volt peak current. See Figure 2
on page 19 for a typical buildup of these currents. Refer to examples on the following page to see how to combine
these values.

2.2.1.1 Power Calculation Examples
Note: The following formulas assume all system ops as a 1 block read or write transfer from a random
cylinder while at nominal voltage condition.
Example 1. Calculate the mean 12 volt average current.
If we assume a case of 30 operations/second then to compute the sum of the 12 volt mean currents th e
following is done.
Example 2. Calculate the mean plus 3 sigma 12 volt average current.
To compute the sum of the 12 volt mean current's 1 sigma value assume all the distributions are normal.
Therefore the square root of the sum of the squares calculation applies.Assume a case of 30
operations/second.
Nominal R/ W drive power at 30 ops/sec = (1.25 Amps * 5 Volts) + (0.361 Amps * 12 Volts) = 10.58
Watts
Mean plus 3 sigma drive power for 30 random R/W operations/second. Assume that the 5 volt a nd 12 volt
distributions are independent therefore the square root of the sum of the squares applies.
Total (1 sigma power) sqrt((0.25)**2+(0.24)**2)= 0.347 watts
Total power9.13 + 3 * 0.347= 10.2 watts

The current at start is the total 12 volt current required (ie. th e motor start current, module current a n d voice coil
retract current). See Figure 3 o n page 20 for typical 12 volt current during spindle motor start.

Example 4. Calculate the 12 volt peak current.
To compute the sum of the 12 volt peak currents the following is done.
mean
+12VDC (idle avg)0.28amps
+12VDC (seek peak)1.2 amps
TOTAL1.48 amps
Example 5. Calculate the mean plus 3 sigma 12 volt peak current.
To compute the sum of the 12 volt peak current's 1 sigma value assume all distributions are normal. Therefore the square root of the sum of the squares calculation applies.
So the mean plus 3 sigma peak current is 1.48 + 3*0.028 = 1.56 amps
Things to check when measuring 12 V supply current:
Null the current probe frequently. Be sure to let it warm up.
Adjust the power supply t o 12.00 V at the drive terminals.
Use a proper window width, covering an integral number of spindle revolutions.
Measure values at 25 degree C casting temperature.
Get a reliable trigger for Seek Peak readings.
