Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 1

2.0 Introduction

This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate Constellation.2

Serial ATA model drives:

Model Number Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified

ST91000640NS No No ST91000641NS Yes No ST91000642NS Yes Yes ST9500620NS No No ST9500621NS Yes No ST9500622NS Yes Yes ST9250610NS No No ST9250611NS Yes No ST9250612NS Yes Yes

Note. Previous generations of Seagate Self-Encrypting Drive models were called Full Disk Encryption

(FDE) models before a differentiation between drive-based encryption and other forms of encryp tion was necessary.

Note. The Self-Encrypting Drive models indicated on the cover of this product manual have provisio ns for

“Security of Data at Rest” based on the standards defined by the Trusted Computing G roup (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).

For more information on FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification see See Section 5.0 on page 29. These drives provide the following key features:

• 7200 RPM spindle speed.

• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB/s).

• Perpendicular recording technology provides the drives with increased areal density.

• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.

• Native Command Queueing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.

• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.

• Quiet operation.

• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.

• 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.

2 Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B

Constellation.2 Serial ATA Self-Encrypting Drive models have the following additional features:

• Automatic data encryption/decryption

• Controlled access

• Random number generator

• Drive locking

• 16 independent data bands

• Cryptographic erase of user data for a drive that will be repurposed or scrapped

• Authenticated firmware download Note. There is no significant performance difference between Self-Encrypting Drive and standard (non-

Self-Encrypting Drive) models.

2.1 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 jump-

ers 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 you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disc 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.

Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two

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 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 Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the content s of the traditional de vice 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 www.serialata.org.

3.6 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

• Average seek time is a true s tatistical random average of at le ast 5,000 measurements of seek s between r

andom tracks, less overhead.

*Typical seek times (ms) Read Write

possible single-track seeks in both directions.

Average latency: 4.16

*Measured in performance mode. Note. T

hese 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.

3.8 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a na tive SATA power con nector. See Figure 5 on page 26.

3.8.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the t able on pag e 9. 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.

• 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.

The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 30mA and a commensurate increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply.

3.8.4 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 power-management modes:

Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled Idle_a ID Biased Rotating Enabled Idle_b Parked Rotating Enabled Idle_c Parked Ro tating at lower RPM 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 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.

3.8.4.1 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 you 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.

Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 15

Power Condition Name Power Condition ID Description

Idle_a 81 Idle_b 82 Idle_c 83 Standby_z 00

H H H H

Reduced electronics Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM 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 th e Exten ded Power Conditions ( EPC) fea ture set usin g 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 Imme diate 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

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

3.9 Environmental limits

Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).

3.9.1 Temperature

a. Operating

The drive meets the operating specifications over a 41°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C) drive case temperature r

ange with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 60°C. The MTBF specification for the drive assume

case temperature. The rated MTBF is based upon a sustained case temperature of 104°F (40°C). Occasional excursions in operati ng temperature betw een operating case temperature may occur without impact to the rated MTBF temperature. However continual or sustained operation at case temperatures beyond the rated MTBF temperature will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

Air flow may be required to achieve consiste n firm that the required cooling is provided for the electr configuration, and perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case temperature of the drive.

b. Non-operating

–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This spe

3.10 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)

3.15 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 Seagate produ cts are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. 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.

4.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

4.1 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:

• Before handling the drive, put on a gr ou nd e d w rist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wea r 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.

Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 25

4.2 Configuring the drive

Power cable

Signal cable

Signal connector

Power connector

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.

Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation. It is usually not necessary to set any jumpers on the drive for proper operation; however, if you connect the drive and receive a “drive no t detected” error, your SATAequipped motherboard or host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA speed autonegotiation.

4.3 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 (39.37in). See Table 5 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, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Constellation.2 Serial ATA drives support latchin g SATA connectors.

26 Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B

4.4 Drive mounting

You 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 6 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030

guideline. Please refer to Section 4.5 for final cooling requirements.

• Use only M3 x 0.5 metr

• Four (4) threads (0.080 in) minimum screw engag ement recommended. Also ensur e maximum screw length

oes not bottom out in mounting holes.

• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.5 in-lb, ± 0.45 in-lb).

Above unit

Under unit

Note. Air flows in the direction shown or in reverse direction (side to side)

Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surro unding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in Section 3.9.1, "Temperature."

The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal from the electronics and head and disc assembly (HDA). You should confirm that adequate heat removal is provided using the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 3.9.1.

Forced air flow may be r equired to keep temper atures a t or be low the temper atures s pecified in Section 3.9.1 in which case the drive should be oriented, or air flow directed, so that the least amount of air flow resistance is created while providing air flow to the electronics and HDA. Also, the shortest possible path between the air inlet and exit should be chosen to minimize the travel length of air heated by the drive and other heat sources within the rack, cabinet, or drawer environment.

If forced air is determined to be necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 7. The air-flow patterns are created by one or more fans, either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 3.9.1 are met.

5.0 About FIPS

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, FIPS PUB 140-2, is a U.S. government computer security standard used to accredit crypto gr aphic modules. It is titled “Security Requiremen ts for Cryptographic Modules”. The initial publicat ion was o n M ay 25, 2 001 a nd was la st upd ated Decemb er 3, 2002.

Purpose

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 Publica tion Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components.

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 Certification requires drives to go through government agencies certifications to add requirements for physical tamper-evidence and role-based authentication.

Level 2 security

Level 2 improves upon the physical security mechanisms of a Level 1 (lowest level of security) cryptographic module by requiring features that show evidence of tampering, including tamper-evident coatings or seals that must be broken to attain physical access to th e plaintext cryptographic keys and critic al security parameters (CSPs) within the module, or pick-resistant locks on covers or doors to protect against unauthorized physical access.

6.0 About self-encrypting drives

Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as “protection of data at rest.” These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise Storage Specifications as detailed in Section 3.14.2.

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG.

To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the follo wing two commands:

• Security Protocol Out

• Security Protocol In These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.

6.1 Data encryption

Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each port, emp loying AES-256 dat a encryption in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engines are always in operation, cannot be disabled, and do not d etract in any way from the performance of the drive.

The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is genera ted by the dr ive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM) external to the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data bands (see Section 6.5).

6.2 Controlled access

The drive has two security partitions (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive security services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is authorized to perform the command.

6.2.1 Admin SP

The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 6.4). Access to the Admin SP is available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Makers Secure ID) password.

30 Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B

6.2.2 Locking SP

The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using the BandMasterX or EraseMaster passwords. Since the drive owner can define up to 16 data bands on the drive, each data band has its own password called BandMasterX where X is the number of the data band (0 through 15).

6.2.3 Default password

When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value is printed on the drive label and it can be read by the host electronically over the I/O. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password as the authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.

6.3 Random number generator (RNG)

The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide random numbers to the host for system use, including using these nu mbers as Authentication Keys ( p asswords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.

6.4 Drive locking

In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 6.2.3, the owner should also set the data access controls for the individual bands.

The variable "LockOnReset" should be set to "PowerCycle" to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. This scenario occurs if the drive is removed from its cabinet. The drive will not honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been unlocked. This prevents the user data from being accessed without the appropriate credentials when the drive has been removed from its cabinet and installed in another system.

When the drive is shipped from the factory, the firmware download port is locked and the drive will reject any attempt to download new firmware. Th e dr ive own er m ust us e th e SID cr ed en tia l to un loc k th e fir m wa re do wn load port before firmware updates will be accepted.

6.5 Data bands

When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (als o known as the Global Data Band) which comprises LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate Band1 by specifying a start LBA and an LBA range. The r eal est a te for this band is t aken from the Global Band. An add itional 14 Dat a Bands may be defined in a similar way (Band2 through Band15) but before these bands can be allocated LBA space, they must first be individually enabled using the EraseMaster password.

Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one ba nd e ndi ng at LBA (x) and the ne xt b eginnin g at LBA (x+1).

Each data band has its own drive-generate d encryption key and it s own user-supplied p assword. The host may change the Encryption Key (see Section 6.6) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4K LBA boundaries.

Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B 31

6.6 Cryptographic erase

A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the data encryption key for a p ar ticu lar ban d. On ce chang ed , the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and will be read using a different key. Since the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes, the user data can never be recovered. This is tantamount to an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be scrapped or redispositioned.

6.7 Authenticated firmware download

In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download files which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.

Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:

1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.

2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.

3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable to the correct drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.

6.8 Power requirements

6.9 Supported commands

The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED) models as listed in Table 6:

• Security Protocol Out (B5h)

• Security Protocol In (A2h)

6.10 RevertSP

The SED models will support RevertSP feature where it erases all data in all bands on the device and returns the contents of all SPs (Security Providers) on the device to their Original Factory State.

32 Constellation.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B

7.0 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.

7.1 Hot-Plug compatibility

Constellation.2 Serial ATA drives incorporate connectors which enable you to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA II: Extension to Serial ATA 1.0a specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Caution:

The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 3.7) prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

7.3.2 Set Features command

This command controls the implementation of various featur es that the drive su pports. 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:

Table 7: Set Features command values

Enable write cache (default).

Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).

7.3.3 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-5 Standard.

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

) that elimi-

nates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic 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 . featur es disabled . You must have a recent BIOS or software p ackage 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.

Note. If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x 04

(abort) is written to the Error register.
