When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage. Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment and other factors.

Seagate 600 SSD Product Manual, Rev. B

1.0INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate® 600 SSD model drives:

2.5" Limited Warranty With	2.5" Limited Warranty With
Media, 7mm Model	Media, 5mm Model
ST480HM000	ST480HM001
ST240HM000	ST240HM001
ST120HM000	ST120HM001

These drives provide the following key features:

•Multi-Level Cell (19nm MLC) NAND Flash storage.

•Serial ATA 3.1 Host Interface (SATA 6Gb/s).

•High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 530MB/s).

•Parallel flash access channels.

•State-of-the-art on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.

•Native Command Queueing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.

•Highly integrated hardware functions.

•Data Set Management with Trim Support.

•Silent operation.

•SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.

•Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.

•Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.

•Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.

1.1ABOUT THE SERIAL ATA INTERFACE

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages:

•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.

The Serial ATA interface connects each drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. 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.

Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two 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: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

[1]Testing performed at Queue Depth = 32, Sequentially Preconditioned drive, using IOMeter 2006.7.27.

[2]Testing performed at Queue Depth = 32, Randomly Preconditioned drive, using IOMeter 2006.7.27.

Note. IOMeter is available at http://www.iometer.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/iometer/.

Peak performance is defined as the typical best case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.

Sustained performance is defined as the typical worst case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.

Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in values different than those stated in this specification. Some discrepancies can be caused by bandwidth limitations in the host adapter, operating system, or driver limitations. It is not the intent of this manual to cover all possible causes of performance discrepancies.

When evaluating performance of SSD devices, it is recommended to measure performance of the device in a method that resembles the targeted application using real world data and workloads. Test time should also be adequately large to ensure that sustainable metrics and measures are obtained.

2.7POWER SPECIFICATIONS

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. See 2 on page 16.

2.7.1Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 35°C ambient temperature.

• Startup power

Startup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive reaches operating condition and can process media access commands.

• Peak operating mode

During peak operating mode, the drive is tested in various read and write access patterns to simulate the worst-case power consumption.

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive powered up and ready for media access commands, with no media access commands having been received from the host.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but not be able to immediately access the media because the drive electronics are in a partial power-down mode.
