1.0 Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifica­tions for ST3120023AS, ST 380023AS, and ST360015AS ser ial ATA inter­face drives.

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-pl ay 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.

In addition, ser ial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by provid­ing legacy software support. Serial A TA was designed to allow you to install a
serial ATA host adap ter and s erial ATA disc drive in your current system an d
expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.

The serial ATA interface connects each disc drive in a point-to-poin t 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.

Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environ-

ment to host software where two devices on separate serial ATA
ports ar e represented to host so ftware as a Device 0 (master) and
Device 1 (slave) accessed at the sa me set of host bus ad dres ses. A
host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages
two sets of shadow registers. This is not a ty pi ca l s erial ATA environ­ment.

The serial A TA 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 adapt er contains a set of registe rs that sh adow the con­tents of the traditiona l device registers, referred to as the Shadow Regist er
Block. All serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional

2 Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B

information about how ser ial ATA emulates p arallel ATA, refer to the “Ser ial
ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification
can be downloaded from http://www.serialata.com.

1.2 Key features

These drives provide the following key features:

• 7,200 RPM spindle speed and 8 M byte buffer combine for superior d esk­top performance.

• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates ( up to 150 M bytes per sec­ond).

• Giant magnetoresis tive ( GMR) recording heads and EPRML tec hnology,
which provide the drives with increased areal density.

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

• Full-track multiple-sector tran sfer capability with out local processor inter­vention.

• Quiet operation.

• 350 Gs nonoperating shock.

• The innovative, shock-absorbing SeaShield

®

cover protects the drive

against electrosta tic discharge (ESD ) and other handlin g damage. It also
includes installation instructions and jumper settings.

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

• The 3D Defense System™, which includes Drive Defense, Data Defense
and Diagnostic Defense, offers the industr y’s most comprehensi ve protec­tion for disc drives.

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

• Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands.

2.7 Seek time

Seek measurements ar e taken w ith nom inal power at 25°C a mbient temper ­ature. All times are mea sured using drive diagnos tics. The specifications i n
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 rand om averag e of at least 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Note. These dri ves are designed to c onsistently meet the seek times repre-

sented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track­to-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.

2.9 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power
connector. See Figures 5 and 6 on page 23.

Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B 9

2.9.1 Power 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, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient tempera­ture.

• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured fro m the time of power-on to the ti me t hat th e
drive spindle reaches operating speed .

• Seek mode

During seek mode, the read/wr ite actuator arm moves toward a specific
position on the d isc surface and do es not execute a read or write op era­tion. 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.

• Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measu red with the heads on track, based on a 16­sector write followed 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 measur ed wi th the d r ive up to sp eed , wi th s ervo elec­tronics active and with the heads in a random track location.

• Standby mode

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

2.9.2 Deferred spinup

Barracuda Seria l ATA V drives provide a deferred spinup feature which stor­age subsystem contr ollers c an use to sequence disc dr ive initial ization. Th is
is beneficial to s ystems which include multiple Ser ial ATA hard dis c drives
because it allows s ubsystem contr ollers to stag ger the spinup of each dr ive
to accommodate available power supply current. This feature does not
impact time-to-ready in typical desktop systems.

To accommoda te the d eferred spinup of mul tiple disc dri ves in an en closur e,
Barracuda Seri al ATA V disc drives will spin up only afte r power is appli ed to
the drive and after successful PHY (Physical layer) initialization. PHY initial­ization occurs after the PH Y enters the DP7:DR_Ready sta te. This state is
reached after a successful exchange of Out-Of- Band (OOB) signals with a
functional host-sid e Serial ATA port. In desktop systems, SATA transceivers
should initialize OOB as soon as power comes ready to gua rantee the dr ive
spins up quickly. Seagate disc drives will not spin up witho ut an operational
host-side Serial ATA transceiver.

Additional d etails

Upon system power up, PHY communicati on is in itiated with a COMRESET
signal, which is generated by the host-side transceiver. COMRESET is fol­lowed by a COMINIT signal generated by the disc drive transceiver. COMRE­SET and COMINIT are followed by an exchange of COMWAKE signals and
Align prim itives. The disc d rive will sp in up after the succ essful exchang e of
Align primitives cause the PHY to come ready.

For more details, refer to:

• Section 6.8 of the Serial ATA 1.0 High-Speed Serialized AT Attachment
specification

• Section 6.2 of the Serial ATA II: Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0 specification

• SATA 1.0 design guides

Note. These sp ecifica tions and guides are available on the Serial ATA web

site (www.serialata.org).

2.9.3 Conducted noise

Input noise ri pple is measured at the host system power supply acros s 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.

Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B 13

• Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to op erate with a maximum of
100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

Note. Equivalent resis tance is cal culate d by dividin g th e nomi nal vol tage by

the typical RMS read/write current.

2.9.4 Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):
5V ± 5%

12V ± 10%

2.9.5 Power-management modes

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

Power modes 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 Stand by mode when the host send s a Stand by Immedi­ate command. If the host has set the standby t imer, th e drive can also
enter Standby mode automati cally after the drive has been inacti ve for a
specifiable length of time. The standby timer del ay 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.

14 Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B

• Sleep mode

The drive enters Sleep mode afte r receiving a Sleep comman d from the
host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are par ke d
and the spindle i s a t r e st. Th e d rive leaves Sleep mode after i t r ec eives a
Hard Reset or Soft Reset f rom the ho st. After r eceiving a reset, the d rive
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 (rea d, write or seek), the
standby timer is rein itialized an d begins coun ting down from its specifie d
delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive
activity is required , the dr ive makes a transi tion to S tandby mode. In bot h
Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts a ll commands and returns to
Active mode when disc access is necessary.

3.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section conta ins the specificatio ns 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 ele ctrostatic disc harge (ESD ) hazards. Obser ve the follow­ing standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

Caution:

• The SeaShell™ replaces electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags. The SeaShell

package is a shock-ribbed, transparent clamshell enclosure that limits a
drive’s exposure to ESD and also protects against external shocks and
stresses. The desig n permits attac hing cable s, software loading and la bel/
barcode scanning without removing the drive from the SeaShell. This
minimizes handling da mage. Keep the dr ive in the SeaSh ell package until
you are ready for installation.

• The drive has a cover called SeaShield

cover—it protec ts the drive from electrosta tic discharge (ESD) and mi nor
impact damage. The SeaShield cover also includes installation instructions
and jumper settings. Removing the SeaShield voids the warranty.

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself

frequently by touching the metal chassis of a com puter that is plugged int o
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 n eeded to service the drive. Ot her labels are used to
seal out dirt and contamination.

. Do not remove this permanent

22 Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B

3.2 Configuring the drive

Each drive on the ser ial ATA interface connects in a point-to-po int conf igura­tion with the ser ial ATA ho st adapter. There is no master/slave relationshi p
because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. 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 means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master)
devices.

Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation with no jumpers, termina­tors, or other settings. It is no t ne cess ar y to set any ju mpers on thi s dr ive for
proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the signal connector is for
factory use only.

SATA Signal

Jumper Block

(factory use only)

Figure 4. Serial ATA connectors

SATA Power

3.3 Serial ATA cables and connectors

The serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential
pairs, plus three ground co nnections. The cable size m ay be 30 to 26 AWG
with a maximum length of one mete r (39. 37 in ch es ). See Table 6 for connec­tor pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the
drive or host.

For direct backplane connection, the dr ive connectors are inserted dir ectly
into the host receptacl e. The drive and the host receptacle in corporate fea­tures that enable the dire ct connection to be hot pl uggable and blind mate­able.

Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B 23

For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive using
cabling which separates the power con nector an d the SATA signal connector
as illustrated in Figur e 5, or you can connect the dr ive using cabling which
integrates both cables in one molded connector as illustrated in Figure 6.

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation.

3.4 Drive mounting

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side­mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 7 on
page 24 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting
precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.03 0 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire
perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) into the

bottom mounting holes and no more than 0.14 inch (3.55 mm) into the side

24 Barracuda Serial ATA V Product Manual, Rev. B

mounting holes.

• 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.

4.2.2 Set Features command

This command control s the implementa tion of various features that the dr ive
supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the
contents of the Features register, clears BSY an d generates an interrupt. If
the value in the regis ter d oes n ot r epres ent a feature th at 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:

4.2.3 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 dr ive monitors prede termi ned dr ive attributes that
are susceptible to d egradati on over time. I f se lf- mon ito ring deter m ine s tha t 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 t he attributes
the drive can monitor. For more informati on on S.M.A.R.T. commands an d
implementation, see the Draft AT A-5 Standard.

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

) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.

H

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.
