2.7Seek 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 rand om average of at least 5,000 measure ments of seeks between
random tracks, less overhead.
T ypic al see k times (mse c)Read Write
Track-to-track<1.0<1.2
Average8.59.5
Average latency:4.164.16
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 or exceed 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.
2.8Start/stop times
Power-on to Ready (sec)10 (max)
Standby to Ready (sec)10 (max)
Ready to spindle stop (sec)20 (max)
2.9Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.
Barracuda 7200.7 Product Manual, Rev. E7
2.9.1Power 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 nomi nal conditions, using 5.0 V and 12.0V input vo ltage 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 operatio n. Serv o electr onics ar e active. S eek mode power repres ents the worstcase power consump tion, using only random se eks with read or write laten cy time. This mode is not typic al
and is provided for worst-case information.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is mea sured with the he ads on track, base d on a 16-secto r 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 mea sure d using 40 percent random seek s, 40 p er cent r ead /wr ite mod e ( 1 wri te fo r e ac h
10 reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measur ed wi th th e driv e up to s pee d, wi th ser vo ele ctron ics act ive and with the heads in
a random track location.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the driv e accepts commands, but the dr ive is not spinning, and the ser vo and read/
write electronics are in power-down mode.
Power dissipation (watts)
Example: ST3160021A, 2-disc
*During periods of drive idle, some o ffline activity may occur according to the S. M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoust ic and

2.9.2Conducted noise
Input noise ripple is mea su red at the ho st system power supply acro ss an equ iv al ent 80 -o hm res ist ive 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.
• Using 5-volt power, the drive is expect ed to ope rate wi th a max imum of 10 0 mV pe ak-t o-peak s quare- wave
injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Note. Equivalent resis tance is calculated by div iding the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write
current.
2.9.3Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
5V ± 5%
12V ± 10%
2.9.4Power-management modes
The drive provides programmab le power mana gement to provide grea ter energy efficiency. In most systems,
you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following
power-management modes :
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.
• Idle mode
The buffer remains en abled, and the drive a ccepts a ll comm ands and re turns to Ac tive 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 dri ve can also enter Stand by mode automaticall y after the drive has be en inactive for a
specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby
mode, thed rive buffer is enabled, the heads ar e parked and the spindle is at rest. T he 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 he ads are p arke d and the spind le is at rest. T he dr ive leav es Slee p mo de after it rece ives 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 perfo rms an Active function (read, wr ite or seek), the standby time r is reinitialized and
begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive
10Barracuda 7200.7 Product Manual, Rev. E
activity is required, the driv e makes a transi tion to Standb y mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the d rive
accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is necessary.

3.0Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.
3.1Handling and static discharge precautions
After unpacking, and before ins tallation, the dr ive may be ex posed to pote ntial handli ng and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe 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 exposu re to ESD and also protects agains t external
shocks and st resses. The design permits attaching cables, software loading and labe l/barcode scanning
without removing the driv e fr om the SeaSh ell. Th is mi nimi zes handli ng dam age. K eep the drive in the Sea
Shell package until you are ready for installation.
• 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 plugge d into a grounded outl et. Wear a grounded wris t strap throughout th e
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 co ntain in for ma tio n nee ded to s er vice the d ri ve. Other l abe ls are
used to seal out dirt and contamination.

CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slav e dr ives are det ermi ned by their phys ical pos i tio n on the cab le. To
enable cable selec t, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown i n Figure
1. Refer to your computer manual to
determine whether your computer supports this option.
3.3.3Alternate capacity jumper
Some older comput ers may “hang ” at startup if their B IOS de tects a disc drive with a ca pacity gre ater than 3 2
Gbytes. This limits the drive’s capacity to 32 Gbytes when the alternate capacity jumper is used. To access the
full capacity of the drive, you can:
• Update the BIOS
• Use third-party software such as DiscWizard™ or Disk Manager
• Use a third-party host adapter
For drives with capacitie s greater than 32 Gbytes, the al ternate capacity jumper changes the total available
LBA sectors to 32 Gb ytes to solve is sues with some BI OS during power on . The ATA Set Features subcom
mand “F1H Report Full Capacity Availab le” causes Identif y Data words 60 and 61 to rep ort the full capacity.
See Section 4.1.3 on page 30 for more details on the Set Features command.

3.3.4Ultra ATA/100 cable
An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4 and mode 5. This cable uses evennumbered conductors connected to the ground pins to improve signal integrity.
Note. If you are using a 40-pin, 80-conducto
cable, attach the blue connector to the

Motherboard
motherboard, the black connector to th
master drive, and the gray connector
to the slave.
Figure 1.Ultra ATA cable connectors
Note.The drive supports both host and drive cable detection. The host detects the 80-conductor cable by
sampling pin 34, CBLID–, on the interface bus . The drive detec ts the 80-conduc tor cable by sens
ing a capacitor at the host side thr ough the CBLID– signal. The result is repor ted in a Fast Rise
Detected bit (bit 13 of word 93 in the Identify drive parameter block).
3.4Drive mounting
You can mount the driv e in any o rientation u sing four s crews in the side -mountin g holes or four screws i n the
bottom-mounting holes. See Figure
tions when mounting the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
• 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.

4.0ATA interface
These drives use t he industry-standard ATA task file interface that s upports 16-bit data transfer s. It supports
ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; m ultiwor d DMA m odes 0– 2, and Ul tra DMA mod es 0–5. The
drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers.
You c an us e a dai sy-ch ain cabl e to co nnect two dri ves to a singl e AT host bus. For detailed inform ation about
the ATA interface, refer to the draft of AT Attachment with Packet Interface Extension (ATA/ATAPI-6), NCITS T13 1410D, subsequently referred to as the Draft ATA-6 Standard.
4.1ATA interface signals and connector pins
Figure 1 on page 24 su mmarizes the signals on the ATA interface conne ctor that the drive supports. For a
detailed description of these signals, refer to the Draft ATA-6 Standard.
