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.

SEAGATE LAPTOP THIN SSHD SATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. D 2

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

The Serial ATA interface connects each disk 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.

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

NOTE

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.

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 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 International Organization: Serial ATA (Revision 2.6). The
specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

2.7 POWER SPECIFICATIONS

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector (refer to Figure 2).

2.7.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table in
of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. These power measurements are done with
Interface Power Management modes like HIPM and DIPM enabled.

 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 disk surface and does not execute
a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power is measured based on three random seek
operations every 100 ms. This mode is not typical.

 Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations every 100 ms.

Table 4. Typical power measurements are based on an average

 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.

DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS

2.7.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt
line.

 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.

2.7.3 Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):

 +5V ± 5%

2.7.4 Power management modes

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

POWER MODES HEADS SPINDLE BUFFER

Active (operating) Tracking Rotating Full power

Idle, performance Tracking Rotating Self refresh—low power

Idle, active Floating Rotating Self refresh—low power

Idle, low power Parked Rotating Self refresh—low power

Standby Parked Stopped Self refresh—low power

Sleep Parked Stopped Self refresh—low power

 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 disk 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 disk
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 disk access is necessary.

DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS

2.12.3 FCC verification

These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure (not attached as an
external device). As such, each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is individually marketed to the
customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required.

Seagate has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disk drive,
motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15
of the FCC rules. Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.

Radio and television interference This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.

This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are encouraged to try one or more of
the following corrective measures:

 Reorient the receiving antenna.
 Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
 Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
 Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.

If necessary, you should consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You
may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-Television Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government

2.13 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting
certain chemical substances.

2.13.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances,
including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This
drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive.

2.13.2 China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains
information mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic
Information Products" Standard.

"O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower than the
threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.

"X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the threshold
defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.

2.14 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.

• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready for installation to limit the
drive’s exposure to ESD.

• 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.

CAUTION

3.2 CONFIGURING THE DRIVE

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

• 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.

3.2.1 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). Refer to Table 8 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 shown in Figure 2.

CONFIGURING AND MOUNTING THE DRIVE

3.3 DRIVE MOUNTING

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom­mounting holes. Refer to Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when
mounting the drive:

 Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
 Use only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws.
 Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb (0.4519 N-m).
 Four (4) threads (0.080 in, 2.032 mm) minimum screw engagement recommended.
 Avoid excessive drive distortion when mounting. Refer to the following specifications for stiffness/deflection information:

Top cover stiffness/deflection

ABOUT FIPS

4.0 ABOUT FIPS

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, FIPS PUB 140-2, is a U.S. government computer
security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled “Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules”.
The initial publication was on May 25, 2001 and was last updated December 3, 2002.

Purpose.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 Publication Series to coordinate the
requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components.

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 Certification requires drives to go through government
agencies certifications to add requirements for physical tamper-evidence and role-based authentication. 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”.

Security Level 2.

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 (example shown
in Figure 5, page 19) 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.

5.3.2 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:

5.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands

S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk 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

H

unnecessary drive 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.
