1.2 About Momentus 5400 FD E disc drives

The Momentus 5400 FDE contains drive trust technology providing Full-Disc Encryption (FDE) using proven Triple DES (TDES) data encryption and decryption.
Feature list
• Automatically encrypts (and decrypts) all data on the drive
• Operations are performed with no measured performance loss
• All user data is encrypted on write operations and decrypted on read operations
Benefits
• Drive-level protection of data
• Drives that are stolen, taken out of service, or re-purposed remain fully protected
• Near instantaneous disposal and re-purposing of the drive (ensures that data from previous user is not accessible by the new drive owner)
• Able to be deployed within a trusted computing environment
The drive encrypts every write operation and decrypts every read operation without user intervention. The encryption and decryption is done on the drive itself, so there is a near-zero performance impact when the drive writes and re ads dat a. T he pe rfor mance -opt i mized en crypti on and de cryption engine performs at the ATA interface speed.
The purpose of full-disc encryption is to protect the dat a store d on the drive in the even t that the host system is lost or stolen. This assures the system owner that if their system is lost or stolen, their data will not be accessi­ble without the correct credentials.
Having the encryption/decryption on the drive also provides the highest level of security for data because all data, including the boot sector bytes, operating system, temp and even the swap files are encrypted at the drive level.
The Momentus 5400 FDE contains two security interfaces:
1. The ATA Security Interface
This interface is provided for compatibility with the existing ATA Security Command Set. The ATA Security Interface is active upon shipment and ready for use.
2. The Drive Trust Security Interface
This interface is provided to enable a robust enterprise-level security and management policy. Use of the Drive Tr ust S ecuri ty Inte rface req uires additi on al sof twar e to mana ge t he D rive Trust interface . Please co n­tact your system or software provider for more details.

1.2.1 Drive state upon shipment

Upon shipment from the Seagate factory, the ATA Security Interface is enabled and functioning. The following is the detailed state of the drive upon shipment.
• Full Disc Encryption (FDE) is active and functioning. All user data is encrypted on write and decrypted on read.
• The user interface to the drive is active and all read and write commands are allowed.
• The ATA user password is null (no value).
• The ATA master password is set to the Security ID (SID).
• ATA Security is set to the unlocked state. No password is required to access the drive.

The Momentus 5400 FDE drive may be integrated into the computer system in the same way you would inte­grate a non-FDE Momentus drive.
The encryption key is enabled and operational when the drive leaves the Seagate factory. No user id is required to access the drive, so the data on the drive is accessible to anyone possessing the drive. The drive will encrypt data without a user id.

2.7 Seek tim e

Seek measurem ent s a re t ake n wi th nom inal po w er a t 25 °C amb ient temperature. All tim es a re m easu red using drive diagnostics. The specifications below are defined as follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
T yp ical seek times (msec)* Read Write
Track-to-track 1.0 1.5 Average 12.5 14.5 Full-stroke 22.0 24.0 Average latency 5.56 5.56

regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed 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.

2.9 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through the interface connector.

2.9.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 10. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle re aches operating speed.
• 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

*During periods of drive i dle, some offl ine activity may occur acc ording to the S. M.A.R.T. speci fica tion, which may i ncrease acoust ic and
power to operational levels.

2.9.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.
Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated b y dividing the nom inal volta ge by the typical RM S read/w rite curr ent.
