1.1 About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA 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, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to
allow users to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing
applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no
master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA 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 host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two

Note

The Serial ATA 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.

devices on separate Serial ATA 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 Serial ATA environment.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the
Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates
parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from

2.5.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 V line or an
equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5V line.

• Using 12V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to
10MHz.

• Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to
10MHz.

Note

Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

2.5.4 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoice™

Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for reduced
power consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from highest power
consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time) as follows: Idle_a power >=
Idle_b power >= Idle_c power >= Standby_z power. The further users go down in the table, the more power savings is actualized. For
example, Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and saved settings
persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time of manufacture, the default,
saved and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

• Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer values may be
customized and enabled using the Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the standardized Set Features command
interface.

• Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power Condition" subcommand
to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Immediate and Idle Immediate also provide a
method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

• Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)

•Power on reset

Seagate IronWolf Pro SATA Product Manual, Rev. G 13

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command

• Reports the current power state of the drive

Identify Device Command

• EPC Feature set supported flag

• EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled

Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition

• Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active

• If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable

• Default enabled state, and timer value

• Saved enabled state, and timer value

• Current enabled state, and timer value

• Attribute 192 - Emergency Retract Count

• Attribute 193 - Load/Unload Cycle Count

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

Default power condition timer values have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A minimum timer value
threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive maintenance activities occur. Attempting to set a
timer values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer"
subcommand.

Power Condition Name Manufacturer Default Timer Values

Idle_a 100 msec

Idle_b 2 min

Idle_c 4 min

Standby_z 15 min

Setting power condition timer values less than the manufacturer specified defaults or issuing the EPC "Go to Power Condition"
subcommand at a rate exceeding the default timers may limit this products reliability and data integrity.

2.8 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.

For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only.

2.9 Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the
absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern tone audibility and to compensate
for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

2.10 Electromagnetic immunity

When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when
subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:

2.11 Reliability

2.11.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.73% (MTBF of 1,200,000 hours) over a 5 year service life when
used in Enterprise Storage field conditions as limited by the following:

• 8760 power-on hours per year.

• HDA temperature as reported by the drive <= 40°C

• Ambient wet bulb temp <= 26°C

• Typical workload

• The AFR (MTBF) is a population statistic not relevant to individual units

• ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards (as measured at the device)

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal drive temperature and
humidity. Occasional excursions in operating conditions between the rated MTBF conditions and the maximum drive operating
conditions may occur without significant impact to the rated MTBF. However continual or sustained operation beyond the rated
MTBF conditions will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

the Seagate HDD and SSD Regulatory Compliance and Safety link.

2.12.1 Safety certification

The drives are recognized in accordance with UL/cUL 60950-1 and EN 60950-1.

2.12.2 Regulatory Models

The following regulatory model number represent all features and configurations within the series:

Regulatory Model Numbers: STL010

2.13 Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial
environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing
cannot duplicate every potential application environment.

Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as
electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used
in hard disk drives are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the
most damaging. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be
minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with
sulfide-free alternatives.

Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous
contamination should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust
contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.

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:

• Before handling th e drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground oneself 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.

Caution

3.2 Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship
because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter,
the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. Both drives behave as if they
are Device 0 (master) devices.

• 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 mounting 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.

3.3 Serial ATA cables and connectors

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground
connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in).
See Table 6 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the
drive or host.

For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle.
The drive and the host receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot
pluggable and blind mateable.

For installations which require cables, users can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. IronWolf Pro SATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

3.4 Drive mounting

Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes.
See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 in (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).

4.0 Serial ATA (SATA) interface

These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/
output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6.

For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification.

4.1 Hot-Plug compatibility

IronWolf Pro SATA drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA
Revision 3.2 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.or

g.

Caution

The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 2.4)
prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

4.2 Serial ATA device plug connector pin definitions

2. The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are:

• the ground pins P4 and P12.

• the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins.

• the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.

3. There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge when installed in a blind-mate backplane config­uration.

4. All used voltage pins (V

) must be terminated.

4.3.2 Set Features command

This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it
sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not
represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching
features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows

4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands

S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk 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-5 Standard.

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

) that eliminates unnecessary drive

H

returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:

http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/

.

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to
enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
