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

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 3.2”. The specification can be downloaded from www.sata-io.org.
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on
Note
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.

The AFR specification for the product assumes the I/O workload does not exceed
Rated Workload
the average annualized workload rate limit of 180 TB/year. Workloads exceeding
the annualized rate may degrade the product AFR and impact reliability as
experienced by the particular application. The average annualized workload rate
limit is in units of TB per calendar year.

*All specifications above are based on native configurations.
** One GB equals one billion bytes and 1TB equals one trillion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity.
Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment and formatting.
*** 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.
†
Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained case temperatures above 60C.
Operating at higher temperatures will reduce useful life of the product.
