Momentus 5400.3 PSD SATA Product Manual, Rev. A
1.1About 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 normally 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 pa rallel ATA easy by providing legacy softwar e suppo rt. Seri al
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 ada pter cont ains a set of registe rs that sha dow the conte nt s of the trad i tional devi ce r egisters, 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 http://www.serialata.org.
1.2Non-volatile cache (NVC)
Momentus 5400.3 PSD SATA include a non-volatile cache feature. For a user to see the benefits of NVC, the
host operating system must support the “Non-volatile cache” commands (B6h) and associated subcommands
as specified in the ATA-8 specification. See Section 4.3 for the list of commands supported by Momentus
5400.3 PSD SATA drives (including the Non-volatile cache commands).
Non-volatile cache is designed to:
• Improve performance
• Provide power savings and battery life (in notebook systems)
• Improve reliability
• Reduce acoustic noise in some read/write operations
Improve performance
The non-volatile cache (NVC) improves performance by writing and reading to the non-volatile cache rather
than waiting for the rotating media to complete spinning-up from sleep, standby, and hibernate modes. Performance improvements may also be seen from minimizing disc seeks and enabling more I/Os per second. The
non-volatile cache also improves cold boot performance when used with operating systems designed to take
advantage of this cache.
Momentus 5400.3 PSD SATA Product Manual, Rev. A

Provide power savings and battery life
NVC decreases power consumption by reducing the amount of time the discs are spinning in the HDA.
Improve reliability
Shock and vibration impacts during writes is negligible when writing to NVC memory. This results in an overall
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of less than 0.50%.
Reduced acoustics
Reads and writes from NVC memory may occur without the acoustic impact of spinning media and actuator
movement.

• Seek mode
During seek mod e, the read /write actuator arm move s toward a spe cific positi on on the d isc surface and does
not execute a read or write operati on. Servo ele ctronics ar e acti ve. Seek mode power is mea sure d based on
three random seek operations every 100 msecs. This mode is not typical.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations
every 100 msecs.
• 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 model

• 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 comma nd. If the ho st 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 tim er delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Sta ndby
mode, thedrive buffer is in Self Refresh Low Power mode, 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 enter s S leep m ode after rece iv ing a Slee p com man d fro m th e ho st. In Sl eep mod e, th e dr ive buffer
is in Self Refresh Low Power mode, 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.

The European U nion Restr icti on of Hazard ous S ubst ance s (RoHS ) Dire cti ve re strict s the p resen ce of ch emic al
substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.
A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the
rep-resentat ions o f our sup pl iers reg ardi ng the pr esence of RoHS subst ances in these p arts and mate rials. Our
supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document
their compliance wi th our re quire ment s by providing material content declarations for al l par ts an d mater ial s for
the disc drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion
of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.
Seagate also has internal system s in place to en sure ongoing complian ce with the RoHS Directive and all laws
and regulations which restrict chemical conte nt in electron ic produ cts. T hese system s include sta ndar d operating procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, laboratory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that all standard operating
procedures are complied with.
2.16Corrosive 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 electr onic dr i ve com ponen t reliab ilit y can be af fecte d by th e i nst allationenvironment. The sil-
ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide,
chloride, and nitr ate c ont ami na nt s. S ulfur is found to be the m ost dam aging . In ad di tion, e lectron i c comp onent s
should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or
exposed to an am bient rel at ive hum idity gr eate r th an 9 5%. Mat erial s used in cabin et fa bri cation , 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.

3.0Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for 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:
• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready for installation to limit the drive’s
exposure to ESD.
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal
chassis of a computer that is plugg ed into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap through out the entire
installation procedure.
• Handle the drive only by its edges or frame.
• The drive is 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.

r
Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host
adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point
relationships. 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 means both drives behave as if they are
Device 0 (master) devices.
Serial AT A dr iv es are designed for easy installation wi th no jump ers, t erm inator s, or other setti n gs. It is not n ecessary to set any jumpers on this drive for proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the signal connector
is for factory use only.

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 inches). See Table 7
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 3.

3.4Drive mounting
You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting
holes. See Figure 4 for drive mo unti ng dim ensions. Fol low these i mpo rt ant mo unting pr ecauti o ns when mou nting the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
• Use only M3 UNC mounting screws.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.0 inch-lb).
• Four (4) threads (0.080 inches) minimum screw engagement recommended.
Measurements shown in Figure 4 are in inches.

4.0Seria l 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. The drive
also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers.
For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT
Attachment” specification.
4.1Hot-Plug compatibility
Momentus 5400.3 PSD SATA drives incorporate connectors which enable you to hot plug these drives in
accordance with the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment specification revision 2.0. This specification can be downloaded from http://www.serialata.org. This device requires a COMRESET from the host
after a hotplug event.

This command con trols the implementation of var ious features that the drive sup port s. 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:

4.3.3S.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 D4H) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:
http://seatools.seagate.com.
This drive is ship ped wi th S. M.A.R. T. fe ature s disab led. You m ust ha ve a r ecent BI OS or so ft wa re pa ckage 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.
