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 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Typical seek times (msec) Read Write

Track-to-track 0.8 1.0

Average 18 20

Average latency: 4.16 4.16

Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks,

regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed 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.

2.8 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V and +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.

2.8.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 13. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using +5.0V and +12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

• Seek mode

During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power represents the worstcase power consumption, using only random seeks with read or write latency time. This mode is not typical and is provided for worst-case information.

• Operating power and current

Operating power is measured using a standard Surveillance Storage Profile.

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a random track location.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/ write electronics are in power-down mode.

2.8.2 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. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write

current.

2.8.4 Power-management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:

Power mode Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled

Idle Tracking Rotating Enabled

Standby Parked Stopped Enabled

Sleep Parked Stopped Disabled

• Active mode

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

• Idle mode

The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

• Standby mode

The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

•Sleep mode

The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode with all current translation parameters intact.

• Idle and Standby timers

Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is necessary.

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)

The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.

A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the rep-resentations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials for the disc drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.

Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat-ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora-tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure compliance with all standard operating procedures.

2.15 Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

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. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

Caution:

• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready for installation.

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.

• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.

• The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.

• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer.

• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.

• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

3.3.2 Cable-select option

Computers that use cable select determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable. To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure 4. Refer to your computer manual to determine whether your computer supports this option.

3.3.3 Alternate capacity jumper

Some older computers may “hang” at startup if their BIOS detects a disc drive with a capacity greater than 32 Gbytes. This limits the drive’s capacity to 32 Gbytes when the alternate capacity jumper is used. To access the full capacity of the drive, you can:

• Update the BIOS

• Use third-party software such as DiscWizard™ or Disk Manager

• Use a third-party host adapter

For drives with capacities greater than 32 Gbytes, the alternate capacity jumper changes the total available LBA sectors to 32 Gbytes to solve issues with some BIOS during power on. The ATA Set Features subcommand “F1

Report Full Capacity Available” causes Identify Data words 60 and 61 to report the full capacity.

See Section 4.1.3 on page 37 for more details on the Set Features command.

SV35 Series Product Manual, Rev. C 25

Page 32

Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 98 or newer versions are needed to support drives with capacities greater than 32 Gbytes.

3.3.4 Ultra ATA/100 cable

An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4 and mode 5. This cable uses evennumbered conductors connected to the ground pins to improve signal integrity.

Note. If you are using a 40-pin, 80-conductor

cable, attach the blue connector to the

Motherboard

motherboard, the black connector to the master drive, and the gray connector to the slave.

Note. The drive supports both host and drive cable detection. The host detects the 80-conductor cable by

sampling pin 34, CBLID–, on the interface bus. The drive detects the 80-conductor cable by sens

ing a capacitor at the host side through the CBLID– signal. The result is reported in a Fast Rise Detected bit (bit 13 of word 93 in the Identify drive parameter block).

3.4 Drive mounting

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 6 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb.).

• Do not use a drive interface cable that is more than 18 inches long.

4.1.3 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. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:

Enable write cache (default).

Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).

4.1.4 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. commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-7 Standard.

SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4

) that elimi-

nates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://seatools.sea

gate.com.

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. You must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.

4.1.5 Streaming feature set support

The Streaming feature set is an optional feature set that allows a host to request delivery of data from a contiguous logical block address range within an allotted time. This places a higher priority on time to access the data than the integrity of the data. Streaming feature set commands only support 48-bit, LBA-mode-only addressing.

Seagate implements the following Streaming commands:

• CONFIGURE STREAM

• READ STREAM DMA EXT

• WRITE STREAM DMA EXT

Command Completion Time Out (CCTO) errors are not deferrable on DMA operations, as they require some DMA engine clean up on the host side. Therefore, Seagate does not anticipate supporting any configurations where a CCTO needs to hide from reporting as an error, and simply show up in a Stream Error log. Since the Stream Error logs were intended to be used to report deferred errors such as this, Seagate has not implemented them.

4.1.5.1 Identify Device command

These drives will set word 84 bit 4 (Streaming Feature Set Supported) and word 87 bit 4 (Configure Stream command was issued) when a non-zero default time limit has been set for either reading or writing. If the host reconfigures both defaults to 0, the bit will clear.

Word 95 (Stream Minimum Request Size)

World 95 contains the number of sectors that provide optimum performance in a streaming environment. This number shall be a power of two, with a minimum of eight sectors (4096 bytes). The starting LBA value for each streaming command should be evenly divisible by this request size.

Words 96, 97, and 104

Unsupported.

Words 99:98

These words define the fixed unit of time that is used only in the Command Completion Time Limit (CCTL) that is passed in streaming commands. The unit of time for this parameter is microseconds. For example, a value of 50000 indicates 50 ms.

4.1.5.2 Streaming commands

Streaming commands are defined to be time-critical data transfers rather than the standard data-integrity-critical commands. Each command shall be completed within the time specified in the CONFIGURE STREAM command or in the streaming command itself to ensure the stream requirements of the AV-type application. The drive may execute background tasks as long as the READ STREAM and WRITE STREAM command execution time limits are still met.

The host may use the CONFIGURE STREAM command to define the default Command Completion Time Limit (CCTL) for reads and writes independently--this assists the device in setting up its caching for best performance. If the host does not use a CONFIGURE STREAM command, the device shall use the CCTL specified in each streaming command, and the time limit is effective for one time only. If the CCTL is not set by a CONFIGURE STREAM command, the operation of a streaming command with a zero CCTL is device vendor specific. "Stream ID" as noted in the ATA specification is not used by the Seagate implementation.

SV35 Series Product Manual, Rev. C 39

Page 46

The streaming commands may access any user LBA on a device. These commands may be interspersed with non-streaming commands, but there may be an impact on performance due to the unknown time required to complete the non-streaming commands.

The streaming commands should be issued using a specified minimum number of sectors transferred per command, as specified in word 95 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE response. The transfer length of a request should be a multiple of the minimum number of sectors per transfer, as should the starting LBA of any streaming command.

Urgent bit

The Urgent bit in the READ STREAM and WRITE STREAM commands is ignored. Therefore, bits 9 and 10 of IDENTIFY DEVICE data words 84 and 87 shall remain clear.

Flush to Disk bit

The Flush to Disk bit in the WRITE STREAM command specifies that all data for the specified stream shall be flushed to the media before posting command completion. If a host requests flushes at times other than the end of each Allocation Unit, streaming performance may be degraded. Using the SET FEATURES command to enable/disable caching may not affect caching for streaming commands.

Not Sequential bit

The Not Sequential bit specifies that the next LBA(s) after those requested in the current READ STREAM command are not anticipated to be used in a subsequent READ STREAM command. This information may help the device with pre-fetching decisions.

Read Continuous bit

If the Read Continuous bit is set to 1 for the command, the device shall attempt to transfer the requested amount of data to the host within the Command Completion Time Limit even if an error occurs. The data sent to the host by the device in an error condition is vendor specific.

Write Continuous bit

If the Write Continuous bit is set to 1 for the command and an error is encountered, the device shall still attempt to complete the transfer within the requested time. If an error occurs and cannot be resolved within the Command Completion Time Limit, the erroneous section on the media may be unchanged or may contain undefined data. A future read of this area may not report an error, even though the data is erroneous. If the Flush Bit is set to 1 on the STREAM WRITE command and the data cannot successfully be written to the media, then the drive will report a Stream Error on the command.

Handle Streaming Error bit

The Handle Streaming Error bit specifies to the drive that this command starts at the LBA of a recently reported error section, so the device may attempt to continue its corresponding error recovery sequence where it left off earlier. This mechanism allows the host to schedule error recovery and defect management for content critical data.

4.1.5.2.2 Read Stream DMA (2Ah)

Protocol: DMA In

This command reads from 1 to 65536 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A value of 0000h in the Sector Count register requests 65536 sectors.

The RC bit indicates that the drive operate in a continuous read mode for the READ STREAM command. When RC is set to 0, the drive shall operate in normal streaming read mode.

When the Read Continuous mode is enabled, the drive shall attempt to transfer data of the requested length without setting the ERR bit to 1. The SE bit shall be set to 1 if the data transferred includes errors, unless the transfer is unable to finish within the CCTL, in which case a CCTO error will be reported (see below). If an error is encountered, it may be necessary for the drive to pad the data being transferred to fulfill the host's requested transfer size. The implementation of the padding is vendor specific.

If the drive is unable to transfer the correct amount of data by the CCTL, the drive will set the ERR bit to 1 and the BSY bit to 0 in the Status Register, and the CCTO bit to 1 in the Error Register.

4.1.5.3 Write Stream DMA (3Ah)

Protocol: DMA Out

The Write Stream DMA command allows the host to write data using the DMA data transfer protocol. This command allows for the host to specify to the device that additional actions need to be performed prior to the completion of the command if the required bits are set.

If the Write Continuous bit is set to 1, the device shall attempt to not stop execution of the command due to errors. If the WC bit is set to 1 and errors occur in the transfer or writing of the data, the device shall attempt to continue to transfer the amount of data requested and then provide ending status with the BSY bit cleared to zero, the SE bit set to 1, the ERR bit cleared to 0. If the WC bit is set to 1 and the Command Completion Time Limit expires, the device shall stop execution of the command and provide ending status with the BSY bit cleared to 0, the SE bit clear, the ERR bit set, and report the fact that the Command Completion Time Limit expired by setting the CCTO bit in the error register. In all cases, the drive shall attempt to transfer the amount of data requested within the Command Completion Time Limit even if some data transferred is in error.

Additionally, if the F bit is set for a Write Stream command, the drive shall conclude processing for the command (including flushing it to the media) before posting status.

ERROR REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

ICRC

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if an interface CRC error has occurred during an Ultra DMA data transfer. The

content of this bit is not applicable for Multiword DMA transfers.

SV35 Series Product Manual, Rev. C 47

Page 54

IDNF

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if a user-accessible address could not be found. IDNF shall be set to 1 if an

address outside of the range of user-accessible addresses is requested if command aborted is not returned.

ABRT

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if this command is not supported. ABRT may be set to 1 if the device is not

able to complete the action requested by the command. ABRT shall be set to 1 if an address outside of the range of user-accessible addresses is requested if IDNF is not set to 1.

CCTO

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if a Command Completion Time Out error has occurred.

SECTOR COUNT REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

Current, Previous

These bits contain the number of contiguous sectors potentially written unsuccessfully, or with bad data, beginning with the LBA of the first corrupted sector.

LBA (Low, Mid, High) (Current, Previous)

These bits contain the address of the first potentially corrupted sector.

DEVICE REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

DEV

This bit shall indicate the selected device.

STATUS REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

BSY

0 This bit shall be set to 0 indicating command completion.

DRDY

1 This bit shall be set to 1.

SE (Stream Error)

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if an error has occurred during the execution of the command when the WC bit

is set to 1 and the correct amount of data was transferred from the host. In this case, the LBA returned in the Sector Number registers shall be the address of the first sector in error, and the Sector Count registers shall contain the number of consecutive sectors that may contain errors.

DRQ

0 This bit shall be set to 0.

ERR

1 This bit shall be set to 1 if an Error register bit is set to 1 and the WC bit is set to 0, or if the drive was

unable to transfer the correct amount of data to the host.

4.1.5.3.1 Time-constrained operations

In general, time constraints have impacts not only on data transfer between the drive and the host, but also on the drive’s internal motion and movement of data to and from the internal buffer (cache). If the drive moves its actuator to access some data other than what the host is (or shortly will be) accessing, there will be an unavoidable delay before the actuator can be moved to where the host needs it to be to service a command.

48 SV35 Series Product Manual, Rev. C

Page 55

If write caching is allowed, the actuator could be busy servicing a cached write at virtually any time. The implication is that a timeout on a read command could actually be due to a cached write. To address this case:

• Streaming commands will not time out if there is a non-streaming cached write in progress

• all cached write data is discarded if a timeout occurs on a streaming command

• when the host issues a streaming read to the drive, internal drive activity is limited to minimize the chances that significant time will be spent on a normal write, and

• timeouts are inhibited if this case is occurring.

4.1.5.3.2 Non-cached streaming writes use model

The host can issue streaming writes. If this is done, it is recommended that the host either set the F bit or disable write caching. If the host does neither, the drive has no way to accurately report the failure location and length in the event of a write failure on a cached write. Disabling caching or using the F bit will cause some performance loss compared to the case where caching was allowed. The most straightforward way to ensure that performance is maintained in this usage model is for the host to issue large writes, so that the seek time is insignificant when compared to the amount of time that the host can allow the command to consume. If the host’s time limit allows, the drive will perform internal defect management on any defective sectors encountered. If the drive runs out of time during a write of this type, any currently cached sectors in the drive’s buffer will be discarded. If the error occured in the LBA range of the current command (rather than a cached command), the portion of that write that may not have been successfully written to the media will be reported to the host in the ending status of the write command.

4.1.5.3.3 Non-streaming writes

In non-streaming writes, the drive does not discard any write data, but rather protects the data as if it were in a non-timed environment altogether. The cache algorithm ensures that if a write to the media is begun, it will be finished during the write command on the ATA bus, and will not adversely affect a streaming read.

A system may use this mode during boot, and then switch over to Streaming Writes for operational mode, back again to untimed mode for maintenance, etc. This behavior can be safe as long as a Flush Cache command is issued and completed before switching between write command types.
