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.

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 normally 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

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.

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 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
http://www.serialata.org.

2.7 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.

Table 2 Typical seek times

TYPICAL SEEK TIMES (MS) READ

Track-to-track 1.5
Average 11
Average latency 4.17

These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical

NOTE

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.

2.9 POWER SPECIFICATIONS

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

2.9.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page

8. Typical power measurements are based on an average 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 100ms. 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 100ms.

• 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 power­down model

2.9.2 Deferred spinup

Momentus Thin drives do not support the deferred spinup option. If you require this option, refer to the Momentus 5400.3 SATA Blade
Server family of drives.

2.9.3 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.

2.9.4 Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):
5V ± 10%

MOMENTUS THIN PRODUCT MANUAL, GEN-2 REV. G 9

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 system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:

Table 4 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 in Self Refresh Low Power mode, 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 in Self Refresh Low
Power mode, 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.

2.15 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

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

2.15.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

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.

2.15.2 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.

2.16 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.

• Handle the drive only by its edges or frame.

CAUTION

3.2 CONFIGURING THE DRIVE

• The drive is 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.

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. This means both
drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation. It is normally not necessary to set any jumpers on this drive for proper operation. If
the host system does not support SATA 3Gb/s operation, place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 to limit the drive to 1.5Gb/s operation.

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 inches). See Table 7 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 3.

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.

Level 2 security

Level 2 improves upon the physical security mechanisms of a Level 1 (lowest level of security) cryptographic module by requiring
features that show evidence of tampering, including tamper-evident coatings or seals that must be broken to attain physical access to the
plaintext cryptographic keys and critical security parameters (CSPs) within the module, or pick-resistant locks on covers or doors to
protect against unauthorized physical access.

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-8 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://seatools.seagate.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.
