1.1 About the Serial ATA Interface
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary
advantages include:
• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers
or other configuration options.
• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
• Scalability to higher performance levels.
Pipeline HD SATA Product Manual, Rev. F 9
Introduction www.seagate.com
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 disk drive in your current system
and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.
The Serial ATA interface connects each disk 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. 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. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master)
devices.
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two
Note
devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device
1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave
environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.
The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide
backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO
and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of
registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All
Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates
parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.0”. The specification can be
downloaded from www.sata-io.org.

2.6 Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using
drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of seeks between
random tracks, less overhead.
Typical seek times (ms)
Track-to-track
Average
Average latency
These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical
Note
seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted values.
However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include
command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.
