2.7Seek time
Seek measurements a re taken with nom inal p ower at 25°C amb ient tem perature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in
the table below are defined as follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an avera ge of all possibl e single-tr ack seeks in
both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at leas t 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

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 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.

2.9Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive
power connector.
Barracuda ATA V Product Manual, Rev. E9
2.9.1Power consumption
Power requirements for the dr ives are liste d 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 fr om the time of power-on to the time that th e
drive spindle reaches operating speed.
• Seek mode
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves towar d a specific
position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation.
Servo electronics are ac tive. Seek m ode po wer r eprese nts th e worst-c ase
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 percen t 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.
*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T.
specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

2.9.2Conducted 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. Equival ent r esistan ce is cal culated b y div idin g the n ominal volt age by
the typical RMS read/write current.
2.9.3Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
5V ± 5%

2.9.4Power-management modes
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater
energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management
through the system setu p program. The drive featur es the following powermanagement modes:
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
Barracuda ATA V Product Manual, Rev. E13
command. If the host has s et the standby timer, the drive can als o enter
Standby mode automat ically after the driv e has bee n inacti ve for a specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby
or Idle command. In Standb y mode, thedrive buffer is enable d, the heads
are parked and the sp indle is at rest. The drive accepts all c om m an ds an d
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 a t r es t. Th e dr i ve le av es Sl eep mode after it recei ves a H a rd
Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the dr ive 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 s eek), the
standby timer is reinitialized and be gins counting down from its specified
delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity
is required, the d riv e m ake s 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.
2.10Environmental specifications
2.10.1Ambient temperature

3.0Configuring and mounting the drive
This section conta ins the specificatio ns and instructions f or configuring and
mounting the drive.
3.1Handling 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 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 desig n permits attac hing cable s, software loading and la bel/
barcode scanning without removing the drive from the SeaShell. This
minimizes handling da mage. Keep the dr ive in the SeaSh ell package until
you are ready for installation.
• The drive has a cover called SeaShield
cover—it protec ts the drive from electrosta tic discharge (ESD) and mi nor
impact damage. Removing the SeaShield voids the warranty.
• 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 plugged int o
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 n eeded to service the drive. Ot her labels are used to
seal out dirt and contamination.
.Do not remove this permanent

3.2Jumper settings
3.2.1Master/slave configuration
The options jumper block shown in Figure 3 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

3.2.2Cable-select option
Computers that use cable select determine the master an d 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 3. Refer to your
computer manual to determine whether your computer supports this option.
Barracuda ATA V Product Manual, Rev. E23
3.2.3Alternate capacity jumper
Some older computers may “hang” at startup if their BI OS det ects a di sc dr ive
with a capacity gr eater than 32 Gbyt es. This l imits the d rive’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 capacities greater than 32 Gbytes, the alternate capacity jumper
changes the total available LBA sectors to 32 Gbytes to solve issues with some
BIOS during power on. The ATA Set Features subcommand “F1
Report Full
H
Capacity Available” causes Identify Data words 60 and 61 to report the f ull
capacity. See Section 4.1.3 on page 33 for more details on the Set Features
command.
Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 98 or newer versions are needed to
support drives with capacities greater than 32 Gbytes.
3.2.4Ultra ATA/100 cable
An 80-conductor 40 -pin cable is required to r un Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4
and mode 5. This cabl e uses even-numbered condu ctors connected to the
ground pins to improve signal integrity.
Note. If you are using a 40-pin 80-conductor

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–, o n the
interface bus. The drive detects the 80-conduct or cable by sensing a
capacitor at the host side through the CBLID– signal. The result is
reported i n a Fast Rise Detected bit ( bit 13 of word 93 in the Ident ify
drive parameter block).

3.3Drive 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 5 for
drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions
when mounting the drive:
• Allow a minimum cle arance of 0.030 inches (0 .76 mm) around the entir e
perimeter of the drive for cooling.
• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
• Use only .045” +/ - .005 high by .050” diame ter bosses (4x) for bottom mountin g
applications to prevent defo rmat ion of the Sea Shiel d.
• 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.

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.
