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. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for more information, visit www.bis.doc.gov), and controlled for import and

CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H 3

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.

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 disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing
applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disc 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.

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.

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.

*Measured in performance mode.

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 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 or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 4 on page 22.

2.8.1 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 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 worst-case 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 measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay, then a 16­sector read followed by a 32ms 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 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 V line or an
equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5V line.

• Using 12V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at
up to 10MHz.

• Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at

up to 10MHz.

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 MODES HEADS SPINDLE BUFFER

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled

Idle_a ID Biased Rotating Enabled

Idle_b Parked Rotating Enabled

Idle_c Parked Rotating at lower RPM 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.

2.8.4.1 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoice

TM

Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for reduced power
consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from highest power
consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time) as follows: Idle_a power >= Idle_b
power >= Idle_c power >= Standby_z power. The further you go down in the table, the more power savings is actualized. For example,
Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Reduced electronics

Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM

Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM

Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and saved settings
persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time of manufacture, the default, saved
and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

• Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer values may
be customized and enabled using the Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the standardized Set Features
command interface.

• Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power Condition" sub­command to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Immediate and Idle Immediate also
provide a method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

• Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)

• Power on reset

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command

• Reports the current power state of the drive

Identify Device Command

• EPC Feature set supported flag

• EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled

Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition

• Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active

• If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable

• Default enabled state, and timer value

• Saved enabled state, and timer value

• Current enabled state, and timer value

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

Default power condition timer values have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A minimum timer value
threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive maintenance activities occur. Attempting to set a timer
values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer" subcommand.

2.9 ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS

Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and
atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).

2.9.1 Temperature

a. Operating

The drive meets the operating specifications over a 41°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C) drive case temperature range with a
maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.

The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 60°C. See Figure 3 for HDA case temperature measurement location

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal case
temperature. The rated MTBF is based upon a sustained case temperature of 104°F (40°C). Occasional excursions in
operating temperature between the rated MTBF temperature and the maximum drive operating case temperature may
occur without impact to the rated MTBF temperature. However, continual or sustained operation at case temperatures
beyond the rated MTBF temperature will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal case temperature values (see Section 3.4). To confirm that the
required cooling is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform
random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case temperature of the drive.

2.10 ACOUSTICS

Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All measurements are consistent with
ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests,
the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.

Note. For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined by the

following equation:

(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time)

2.11 TEST FOR PROMINENT DISCRETE TONES (PDTS)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use
of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern tone audibility and
to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA­74 standards.

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.

The remaining warranty for a particular drive can be determined by calling Seagate Customer Service at
1-800-468-3472. You can also determine remaining warranty using the Seagate web site (www.seagate.com). The drive serial number is
required to determine remaining warranty information.

Shipping

When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep your original box. Seagate approved containers are
easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty.

Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in transit. Contact your authorized
Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer
equipment.

Storage

The maximum recommended storage period for the drive in a non-operational environment is 90 days. Drives should be stored in the
original unopened Seagate shipping packaging whenever possible. Once the drive is removed from the Seagate original packaging the
recommended maximum period between drive operation cycles is 30 days. During any storage period the drive non-operational
temperature, humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field specifications should be
followed.

Product repair and return information

Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction any third-party
repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the warranty.

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:

• 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.

3.2 CONFIGURING THE DRIVE

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship
because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. 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. Both drives behave as if they are
Device 0 (master) devices.

3.3 SERIAL ATA CABLES AND CONNECTORS

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be
30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). 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 drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host receptacle
incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable.

For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 4.

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

22 CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H

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 5 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

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

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 in (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

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

• Do not cover breather hole on top cover.

4.0 ABOUT FIPS

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. Government Computer Security Standard used to
accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled 'Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS PUB 140-2)' and is issued by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Purpose

This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system
protecting sensitive but unclassified information. The standard provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security: Level 1, Level 2,
Level 3 and Level 4. These levels are intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and environments in which cryptographic
modules may be employed.

Seagate Enterprise SEDs

The SEDs referenced in this Product Manual have been validated by CMVP and have been thoroughly tested by a NVLAP accredited lab
to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. In order to operate in FIPS Approved Mode of Operation, these SEDs require security
initialization. For more information, refer to 'Security Rules' section in the 'Security Policy' document uploaded on the NIST website. To
reference the product certification visit - http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401vend.htm and search for
"Seagate".

Level 2 security

Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the requirement for
tamper-evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the module. Tamper-evident
coatings or seals are placed on a cryptographic module so that the coating or seal must be broken to attain physical access to the critical
security parameters (CSP) within the module. Tamper-evident seals are placed on covers to protect against unauthorized physical access.
In addition Security Level 2 requires, at a minimum, role-based authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the
authorization of an operator to assume a specific role and perform a corresponding set of services..

CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H 25

5.0 ABOUT SELF-ENCRYPTING DRIVES

Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as “protection of
data at rest.” These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise Storage Specifications as detailed in
Section 2.17.

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital
communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG.

To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two ATA commands:

• Trusted Send

• Trusted Receive

These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.

5.1 DATA ENCRYPTION

Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each port, employing AES-256 data encryption in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engines
are always in operation and cannot be disabled.

The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible
to the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM)
external to the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data bands (see Section 5.5).

5.2 CONTROLLED ACCESS

The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive security
services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is
authorized to perform the command.

5.2.1 Admin SP

The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 5.4). Access to the Admin SP is
available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.

5.2.2 Locking SP

The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using
the BandMasterX or EraseMaster passwords. Since the drive owner can define up to 16 data bands on the drive, each data band has its
own password called BandMasterX where X is the number of the data band (0 through 15).

5.2.3 Default password

When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be read by
the host electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password
as the authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.

5.3 RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR (RNG)

The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide random numbers to the
host for system use, including using these numbers as Authentication Keys (passwords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.

5.4 DRIVE LOCKING

In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 5.2.3, the owner should also set the data access controls for the individual
bands. The variable "LockOnReset" should be set to "PowerCycle" to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. In
addition "ReadLockEnabled" and "WriteLockEnabled" must be set to true in the locking table in order for the bands "LockOnReset"
setting of "PowerCycle" to actually lock access to the band when a "PowerCycle" event occurs. This scenario occurs if the drive is

26 CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H

removed from its cabinet. The drive will not honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been unlocked. This prevents the
user data from being accessed without the appropriate credentials when the drive has been removed from its cabinet and installed in
another system.

When the drive is shipped from the factory, the firmware download port is unlocked.

5.5 DATA BANDS

When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (also known as the Global Data Band)
which comprises LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate Band1 by specifying a start LBA and an LBA range. The real estate
for this band is taken from the Global Band. An additional 14 Data Bands may be defined in a similar way (Band2 through Band15) but
before these bands can be allocated LBA space, they must first be individually enabled using the EraseMaster password.

Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one band ending at LBA (x) and the next beginning at LBA (x+1).
Each data band has its own drive-generated encryption key and its own user-supplied password. The host may change the Encryption

Key (see Section 5.6) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4K LBA boundaries.

5.6 CRYPTOGRAPHIC ERASE

A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the data
encryption key for a particular band. Once changed, the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and will be read
using a different key. Since the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes, the user data can
never be recovered. This is tantamount to an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be scrapped or redispositioned.

5.7 AUTHENTICATED FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD

In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download
files which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.

Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:

1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.

2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.

3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable to the
correct drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.

5.8 POWER REQUIREMENTS

The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive
controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 30mA
and a commensurate increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply. See the tables in
Section 2.8 for power requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.

5.9 SUPPORTED COMMANDS

The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED) models as
listed in Table 7:

• Trusted Send (5Eh) or Trusted Send DMA (5Fh)

• Trusted Receive (5Ch) or Trusted Receive DMA (5Dh)

5.10 REVERTSP

(Security Providers) on the device to their original factory state. In order to execute the RevertSP method the unique PSID (Physical
Secure ID) printed on the drive label must be provided. PSID is not electronically accessible and can only be manually read from the
drive label or scanned in via the 2D barcode.

CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H 27

5.11 ATA SECURITY ERASE UNIT COMMAND ON SED SATA DRIVES

The ATA SECURITY ERASE UNIT command shall support both the Normal and Enhanced erase modes with the following
modifications/additions:

• Normal Erase: Normal erase shall be accomplished by changing the media encryption key for the drive followed by an
overwrite operation that repeatedly writes a single sector containing random data to the entire drive. The write operation
shall bypass the media encryption. On reading back the overwritten sectors, the host will receive a decrypted version,
using the new encryption key, of the random data sector (the returned data will not match what was written).

• Enhanced Erase: Enhanced erase shall be accomplished by changing the media encryption key for the drive.

5.12 SANITIZE DEVICE - CRYPTO SCRAMBLE EXT

This command cryptographically erases all user data on the drive by destroying the current data encryption key and replacing it with a
new data encryption key randomly generated by the drive. Sanitize Device is a command field B4h and Feature field 0011h (CRYPTO
SCRAMBLE EXT).

The drive shall support the Sanitize Feature Set as defined in ANSI/INCITS ACS-2 with the exceptions and/or modifications described in
this section.

The drive shall not support the OVERWRITE EXT and BLOCK ERASE EXT sub-commands.
Support of the SANITIZE FREEZE LOCK EXT command shall be determined on a customer-specific basis. OEM drives shall support

the command.

28 CONSTELLATION ES.2 SERIAL ATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. H

6.0 SERIAL ATA (SATA) INTERFACE

6.3.2 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:

6.3.3 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 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-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

H

returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:

http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/.

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.
