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. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for more
information, visit www.bis.doc.gov), and controlled for import and use outside of the U.S. Seagate reserves the right to change, without notice, product offerings or specifications.
• Compliant with RoHS requirements in China and Europe.
• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second).
• Native Command Queuing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.
•Quiet operation.
• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.
• Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.
1.1About the SATA interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) 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, SATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. SATA was designed to allow
users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as
normal.
The SATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the SATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship with SATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one SATA 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 SATA 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 SATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the
Shadow Register Block. All SATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how SATA emulates parallel
ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.0”. The specification can be downloaded from
www.sata-io.or
g.
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two
Note
Seagate BarraCuda Product Manual, Rev. L6
devices on separate SATA 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 SATA environment.

If the drive is powered-off before issuing flush cache command, in some instances,
the end user data in the DRAM cache might not be committed to the disk.
