2.1About the Serial ATA interface
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary
advantages include:
• Easy installation and 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 content s of the traditional de vice 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 download ed from www.serial ata.org.

3.8Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a na tive SATA power con nector. See Figure 4 on page 23.
3.8.1Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the t able on p ag e 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 reach es 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 16-sector read followed by a 32ms delay.
• Operating power and current
Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 per cent 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 hea ds 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.

3.8.4Power-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:
• 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, thedrive 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.

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 >= Id le_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 sav ings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

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

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 th e 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 Imme
diate 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

The MTBF specification for the drive assume
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 M TBF 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 ach

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 ECMA-74 standards.

3.16Corrosive 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 produ cts 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.

4.0Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.
4.1Handling 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 han dling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist str ap , 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.

Power cable
Signal cable
Signal connector
Power connector
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.
4.3Serial 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 5 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.
Figure 4. Attaching SATA cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA drives support latching SATA
connectors.
4.4Drive mounting
You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottommounting 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)
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).
• Do not cover breather hole on top cover.

5.0About 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 crypto gr aphic modules. It is titled “Security Requiremen ts for
Cryptographic Modules”. The initial publicat ion was o n M ay 25, 2 001 a nd was la st upd ated Decemb er 3, 2002.
Purpose
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 Publica tion 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 th e plaintext cryptographic keys and critic al security parameters
(CSPs) within the module, or pick-resistant locks on covers or doors to protect against unauthorized physical
access.

Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D25
6.0About 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 3.17.
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 follo wing two
commands:
• Security Protocol Out
• Security Protocol In
These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.
6.1Data encryption
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each port, emp loying AES-128 dat a 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, cannot be disabled, and do not d etract
in any way from the performance of the drive.
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is genera ted by the dr ive, 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 6.5).
6.2Controlled access
The drive has two security partitions (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.
6.2.1Admin SP
The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 6.4).
Access to the Admin SP is available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Makers Secure ID)
password.
26Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D
6.2.2Locking 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).
6.2.3Default password
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random
value is printed on the drive label and it can be read by the host electronically over the I/O. 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.
6.3Random 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 nu mbers as Authentication Keys ( p asswords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.
6.4Drive locking
In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 6.2.3, 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. This scenario occurs if the drive is 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.
6.5Data bands
When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (als o 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 r eal est a te for this band is t aken from the Global Band. An add itional 14 Dat a
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 ba nd e ndi ng at LBA (x) and the ne xt b eginnin g
at LBA (x+1).
Each data band has its own drive-generate d encryption key and it s own user-supplied p assword. The host may
change the Encryption Key (see Section 6.6) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to
4K LBA boundaries.
6.6Cryptographic 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 p ar ticu lar ban d. On ce chang ed , 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.
Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D27
6.7Authenticated 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.
6.8Power 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 additiona l drain on the 12V supply. See the tables in Section 3.8 for power
requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.
6.9Supported 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 6:
• Security Protocol Out (B5h)
• Security Protocol In (A2h)
6.10RevertSP
The SED models will support RevertSP feature where it erases all data in all bands on the device and returns
the contents of all SPs (Security Providers) on the device to their Original Factory State.
6.11ATA 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 fol-
lowed 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.
6.12Sanitize Feature Set on SED Drives
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.
28Constellation ES.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D
7.0Serial ATA (SATA) interface

This command controls the implementation of various featur es that the drive su pports. 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:

Note.At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as indi-
cated above.

7.3.3S.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 elimi-
H
nates unnecessary drive returns. 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 . featur es disabled . You must have a recent BIOS or software p ackage 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.
