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 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Typical seek times (msec) Read Write

Average 12.5 13.5

Track-to-track 0.3 0.7

Read/write 15.5 16.5

Full stroke 26 28

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.

2.8 Start/stop times

Power-on to Ready (sec) 6.5 (max)

Standby to Ready (sec) 6.0 (typical)

Ready to spindle stop (sec) 10 (typical)

2.9 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive
power connector.

Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 9

2.9.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 10. 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-msec delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32­msec 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.

2.9.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an
equivalent 80-ohm resistive 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 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.

2.9.3 Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):

5V ± 5%

12V ± 10%

2.9.4 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 power­management modes:

Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled

Idle Tracking Rotating 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

Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 13

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.

2.10 Environmental specifications

2.10.1 Ambient temperature

Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment imme­diately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed

input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the
X, Y or Z axis.

2.10.5.1 Operating shock

These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document
when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine
shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more than two times
per second.

2.10.5.2 Nonoperating shock

The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring
physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into
operation is 350 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse of 2 msec
duration.

2.10.6 Vibration

All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the
input vibration applied at the drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied
in the X, Y or Z axis.

2.10.6.1 Operating vibration

The following table lists the maximum vibration levels that the drive may
experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this docu­ment.

5–21 Hz 0.02-inch displacement (peak to peak)

22–350 Hz 0.50 Gs acceleration (zero to peak)

2.10.6.2 Nonoperating vibration

The following table lists the maximum nonoperating vibration that the drive
may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in perfor­mance when subsequently put into operation.

5–21 Hz 0.2-inch displacement (peak to peak)

22–350 Hz 5.0 Gs acceleration (zero to peak)

16 Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G

2.11 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)

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:

• The SeaShell™ replaces electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags. The SeaShell
package is a shock-ribbed, transparent clamshell enclosure that limits a
drive’s exposure to ESD and also protects against external shocks and
stresses. The design permits attaching cables, software loading and label/
barcode scanning without removing the drive from the SeaShell. This
minimizes handling damage. Keep the drive in the SeaShell 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 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.

22 Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G

3.2 Breather filter hole precautions

This section contains information regarding the precautions which should be
taken regarding the breather filter hole in Seagate hard disc drives. Proper
precautions should be taken to ensure full functionality and prevent possible
damage to the drive.

Breather Hole

Do not cover

or seal.

Figure 3. Breather filter hole location

Caution: Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole.

This hole has two purposes:

• To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape

• To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure

If this hole is covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, the drive reliability
may be compromised and could lead to permanent damage—doing so voids
the warranty.

Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 23

3.3 Jumper settings

3.3.1 Master/slave configuration

The options jumper block shown in Figure 4 is used to configure the drive for
operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the interface connector and the
power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master
or a slave.

Master or single drive. The drive is configured at the factory for a master or
single-drive operation with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.

Drive as slave. Remove all jumpers.

Drive as master with a non-ATA-compatible slave.

Set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 and another jumper on pins 7 and 8. Use this
jumper setting only if the drive does not work as a master with no jumpers
installed.

Figure 4. Master/slave jumper settings

3.3.2 Cable select option

Computers that use cable select determine the master and slave drives by
selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slave
drives are determined by their physical position on the cable. To enable cable
select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure 4. Refer to your
computer manual to determine whether your computer supports this option.

24 Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G

3.3.3 Ultra 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 even-numbered conductors connected to the
ground pins to improve signal integrity.

Note. If you are using a 40-pin 80-conductor

Master

Slave

Figure 5. Ultra ATA cable connectors

Motherboard

cable, attach the blue connector to the
motherboard, the black connector to the
master drive, and the grey connector

to the slave.

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 detects the 80-conductor cable by sensing a
capacitor at the host side through the CBLID– signal. The result is
reported in a Fast Rise Detected bit (bit 13 of word 93 in the Identify
drive parameter block).

3.4 Drive mounting

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side­mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 6 for
drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions
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.

• Use only .045” +/- .005 high by .050” diameter bosses (4x) for bottom mounting
applications to prevent deformation of the SeaShield.

• 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.

4.1.4 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-7 Standard.

SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T.
command for D4

) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic

H

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. features enabled. You must have a recent
BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to use this feature. The
table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive supports.
