1.1About the Serial ATA interface
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary
advantages include:
• Easy installation and c onfiguration with tru e plug-and- play conn ectivity. 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.
In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel AT A easy by providing legacy software support. Serial
ATA was designed to allow you t o install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your curr ent
system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.
The Serial ATA interface co nnects each disc drive in a point-to-point c onfiguration with the Serial ATA host
adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Seria l ATA devices like there is with para llel 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 essenti ally mean s both dr ives behav e as if they are Dev ice 0
(master) devices.
Note.The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two
devices on separate Serial ATA ports are repres ented to host so ftware as a Device 0 ( maste r) and
Device 1 (slave) acce ssed at the s ame set of ho st bus addr esses. A h ost adapter tha t emulat es a
master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow register s. This is not a typical Serial ATA
environment.
The Serial ATA host adapter and driv e shar e the funct ion of emul ating parall el ATA device beh avior to provid e
backward compatibility with existing host systems an d software. The Command and Contr ol 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 th e Shadow Register Block. All Se rial ATA devic es beh ave l ik e De vi ce 0 de vi c es. F or add itional information about how Ser ial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized
AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

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 av erage of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks betwee n
random tracks, less overhead.
Note.These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical
seeks, regardless of m ode (such as track-to-track a nd 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 s eeks may produce results that vary from these
specifications.

2.8Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 1 on page 24.
2.8.1Power 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 nomi nal conditions, using 5.0 V and 12.0V input vo ltage at 25°C ambient
temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the tim e of power-on to the ti me that the drive sp indle reaches ope rating
speed.
• Seek mode
During seek mode, the read/wr ite actuator arm moves towar d a specific position on the disc s urface and
does not execute a read or write o peration . Servo el ectroni cs are active. S eek mode po wer repr esen ts the
worst-case power co nsump tion, us ing o nly ran dom s eeks with read or wr ite la tency ti me. This mode is no t
typical and is provided for worst-case information.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, ba sed on a 16- sector write fo llowed by a 32-msec
delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-msec delay.
• Operating power and current
Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each
10 reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.
• 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 accep ts co mmands, b ut the driv e is not spi nning , and the se rvo and read /
write electronics are in power-down mode.
