3.0General description
Savvio drives combine giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, partial response/maximum likelihood (PRML)
read channel electroni cs, e mbedded servo te chnol ogy, and a Serial Attached SCSI (SA S) inter face t o provid e
high performance, h igh c apaci ty d ata s tor age f or a v ari ety o f sy st ems inc l uding engineering workstatio ns , n et
work servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. The Serial Attached SCSI interface is designed to meet nextgeneration computing demands for performance, scalability, flexibility and high-density storage requirements.
Savvio drives are random acc ess storage d evices designe d to support the Serial Attached SCSI Protoc ol as
described in the ANSI spec ifications , this documen t, and the SAS Inte rface Manual ( part number 1002930 71)
which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Savv io drives are classified as intelligent
peripherals and provide level 2 confo rm ance ( hig hes t lev el) with the A NSI SC SI- 1 s tandard. Th e SA S connec
tors, cables and elec trical interface are com patible with Serial ATA (SATA), giving future us ers the choice of
populating their systems with either SAS or SATA hard disc drives. This allows you to continue to leverage your
existing investment in SCSI while gaining a 3Gb/s serial data transfer rate.
The head and disc assembly (HD A) is sealed at the factory. A ir recirculates within the HDA through a nonreplaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.
Note.Never disassemb le the HDA and do not attempt to se rvice items in the sealed enclosure (heads,
media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable
parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.
Savvio drives use a de dica ted land ing zo ne at the inne rmost radi us of the media to elimi nate the possibi lity of
destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when
power is removed from the drive.
-
-
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and h andling. The shipping lock disengages and th e head load process be gins when power is
applied to the drive.
Savvio drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate
mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.
The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm
design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

3.5Formatted capacities
Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is sele ctable at format time an d
must be a multiple of 4 by tes. Users having the necessary equi pment may modify the data block size before
issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.
To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they
choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes:
1. Seagate designs spe ci fy c apacit y p oints at c ertain b loc k siz es that Seagate guarantee s curr ent and future
products will meet. We recommend custo mers use this capacity in their project pl anning, as it ensures a
stable operating point with backw ard and forward c ompatibi lity from gener ation to generati on. The curren t
guaranteed operating points for this product are:
2. Seagate drives als o m ay be u se d at the max im um av ail ab le c apaci ty at a gi ve n bl ock si ze , but the excess
capacity above the gua rantee d l ev el wi ll v ar y between other drive fami lies an d f ro m g ene ra tio n to ge ner a
tion, depending on how eac h block size actually formats out for zo ne frequencies and splits over servo
bursts. This added capaci ty potent ial may range from 0.1 to 1.3 percent above th e guarant eed capacities
listed above. Us ing th e dr ives in th is mann er gi ves the ab so lute m aximu m capacity poten tial, but the user
must determine if the extra ca pacity potential is useful, or whether their assurance of backward and for
ward compatibility takes precedenc e.
3.6Programmable drive capacity
Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the
Mode Select (6) parameter list table in the SAS Interface Manual, part numb er 100293 071. A valu e of zero in
the Number of Blocks field indicates that the drive will not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have.
A number other than z er o a nd less tha n t he maximum number of L BA s in the Num ber of B lo ck s fi eld c han ges
the tota l d rive capacity to the v al u e in t h e N umb er o f Bl o cks f ie l d. A v al u e gr ea t e r t h an t h e m ax im u m num be r of
LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.

4.3Start/stop time
The drive accepts the comma nds list ed in the SAS Inte rface Man ual less than 3 seconds after DC power has
been applied.
If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START
STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20
seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a NOTIFY
(ENABLE SPINUP) primitive, the drive waits for a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1.
After receiving a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1, the drive waits for a NOTI FY
(ENABLE SPINUP) primit ive. After receiving a NOTIFY (ENA BLE SPINUP) primitive throu gh either port, the
drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit and IMMED bit equal to 1 and d oes
not receive a NOTIFY (ENABL E SPINUP) primitive within 5 seco nds, the drive fails the START STOP UNIT
command.
The START STOP UNIT command may be used to command the drive to stop the spindle. Stop time is 20 seconds (maximum) from re moval of DC power. SCSI stop time is 20 se conds. There is no power control swi tch
on the drive.
4.4Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides a prefetch ( read look-ahead) and multi-se gmented cache control algori thms that in many
cases can enhan ce system performance. Cac he refers to the drive buffer stor age space when it is used in
cache operations . To select this feature, the host se nds the Mode Select com mand with the proper values in
the applicable bytes in page 08h. Prefetch and cache operations are independent features from the standpoint
that each is enabled and dis abled indepe ndently using the Mode Select c ommand; however, in actual opera
tion, the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as described in sections 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
-
All default cache and prefetch mode paramete r values (Mode Page 08 h) for standard OEM versions of this
drive family are given in Table
19.
4.5Cache operation
Note.Refer to the SAS Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.
Of the 16 Mbytes physical buffer space in the drive, approximately 13,000 kbytes can be used as a cache. The
buffer is divided into logical segments from which data is read and to which data is written.
The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stor ed in each segment of the buffer. If the
cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the SAS Interface Manual
is retrieved from the buffer, if possible, before any disc access is initiated. If cache operation is not enabled, the
buffer is still used, but only as circular buffer segments during disc medium read operations (disregarding
Prefetch operation fo r the moment). That is, the dr iv e d oes not check in the buffer se gme nts for the requested
read data, but goes directly to the medium to retrieve it. The retrieved data merely passes through some buffer
segment on the way to the host. All data transfers to the host are in accordance with buffer-full ratio rules. See
the explanation provided with the information about Mode Page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in the SAS Interface Manual.
The following is a simplified description of the prefetch/cache operation:
Case A—read command is received and all of the requested logical blocks are already in the cache:
1. Drive transfers the requested logical blocks to the initiator.
), data requested by the host with a read command
Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B13
Case B—A Read command r equests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of
the cache:
1. The drive fetches th e requested logical blocks f rom the dis c and trans fers them into a se gment, and then
from there to the host in accordance with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.
2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 4.5.2 for operation from this point.
Each cache se gment is actually a s elf-contained circula r buffer whose length is an integer number of logical
blocks. The drive dynam ic ally cr ea tes and remo ves segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capa
bility of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance.
Note.The size of each s egment is not reported by Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15.
The value 0XFFFF is always reported regardless of the actual size of the segm ent . Se ndi ng a siz e
specification using the Mode Select command (byt es 14 and 15) does not set up a new segment
size. If the STRICT bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one , the driv e respon ds as it does
for any attempt to change an unchangeable parameter.
4.5.1Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive th at mak es use of a drive buffer sto ra ge area where the data to
be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command.
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made available for future read cache hits. The s ame buffer space an d segme ntation is use d as set up for read func tions.
The buffer segmentation s cheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of
RCD. When a write command is issued, i f RCD=0, the cache is first checke d to see if any logical blocks tha t
are to be written are a lready stored in the cache f rom a previous read or write comman d. If there are, the
respective cache segments are cleared. The new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.
-
If the number of write data logical blocks exceed the size of the segment being written into, when the end of the
segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that
was written there at the beginning of the operation; however, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet
been written to the medium.
If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return Good status on a write command after the data
has been transferred into the cache, but befor e the data has been written to the medium. If an error oc curs
while writing the data to the medium, and Good status has already been returned, a deferred error will be gen
erated.
The Synchronize Cache command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium.
Upon completion of a Synchronize Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have
been written to the medium.
Table 19 shows the mode default settings for the drive.
4.5.2Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch fea ture i s ena bl ed, data in co nti guo us lo gic al b lock s on t he d is c immediately beyond tha t whi ch
was requested by a Read c ommand are retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the
buffer to the host on subseque nt Read com mands that request t hose logica l block s (this is tr ue even if cache
operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in
the buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation hit.
To enable Prefet ch, use Mode Select page 08h , byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0
enables prefetch.
-
The drive does not use the Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) or the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).
14Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B
When prefetch (read look -ahead) is enabled ( enabled by DRA = 0), t he drive enables prefe tch of contiguous
blocks from the disc when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetc h when it
decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur.

initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails,
a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reporte d with a Hardware error (04h) in t he Sense
Key. Recoverable seek erro rs are sp ecified at Le ss than 10 errors in 10
8
seeks. Unrecoverable seek errors
(Sense Key = 04h) are classified as drive failures.
5.1.4Interface errors
An interface error is defin ed as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the d ata as transmitted by the
device port connected to the receiver. The error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss
of word sync, or CRC error.
5.2Reliability and service
You can enhance the reliability of Savvio disc drives by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling. Section 6.0 provides temperature measurements and other information that may be used to enhance the s ervice
life of the drive. Section 8.2 provides recommended air-flow information.
5.2.1Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The production disc drive shall achieve an AF R of 0.55% (MTBF of 1,600,000 ho urs) when operated in an
environment that ensures the HDA case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Section
ation at case temperatures outside the specifications in Section 6.4 may increase the product AFR (decreas e
the MTBF). The AFR (MTBF) is a population statistic not relevant to individual units.
6.4. Oper-
The AFR (MTBF) specific ation is based on the following assumptions for Business Critical Storage System
environments:
• 8,760 power-on hours per year.
• 250 average on/off cycles per year.
• Operations at nominal voltages.
• Systems will provid e adequate cooling to ensure the ca se temperatures specified in Sect ion 6.4 are not
exceeded. Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 6.4 will increase the product AFR and
decrease the MTBF.
5.2.2Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.
5.2.3Hot plugging the drive
When a disc is powered on by switchin g the powe r or hot plugged, the drive run s a self test befor e attemp ting
to communicate o n its’ interfaces. When the self test co mpletes successfull y, the drive initiate s a Link Reset
starting with OOB. An attached devic e should respond to the link rese t. If the link reset attempt fails, or any
time the drive looses sync, the drive initiated l ink reset. The drive will i nitiate link reset once p er second but
alternates between por t A and B. Therefor e each port will atte mpt a link reset on ce per 2 seconds assuming
both ports are out of sync..
If the self-test fails, the drive does not respond to link reset on the failing port.
Note.It is the respon sibi li ty o f the sy s tems in teg ra tor to a ss ur e th at no tem per atu re, energy, voltage haz-
ard, or ESD potential haza rd is presented dur ing the hot connect/di sconnect oper ation. Discharge
the static electricity from the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system.
Caution. The drive motor must come to a complete stop prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is
required to insure data integrity.

5.2.4S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Se lf-Moni toring Ana lysis and Repor ting Technology. This techn ology is inte nded
to recognize conditio ns that indicate imminent drive failure and is desig ned to provide sufficient warn ing of a
failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs.
Note.The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation over time but can’t predict instanta-
neous drive failures.
Each monitored a ttrib ute has b een sele cted to moni tor a specifi c se t of fai lure c onditi ons in th e oper ating per formance of the drive and the thresholds are optimized to minimize “false” and “failed” predictions.
Controlling S.M.A.R.T.
The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informational Exceptions
Control mode page (1Ch). Use th e DEXCPT bit to ena ble or disab le the S.M.A.R. T. feature. Setting the DE X
CPT bit disables all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. collects on-line data as the drive performs
normal read and write operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is consi dered to be in “On-line Mod e
Only” and will not perform off-line functions.
You ca n measure off-line a ttributes and f orce the drive to save the data by u sing the Rezero Unit command.
Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in two hours.
You can interrogate the drive through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measurement and data logging process occurs. To accomplish this, issue a Log Sense command to log page 0x3E.
This allows you to c ontrol when S.M.A.R.T. inter ruptions occur. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. with the RTZ command
resets the timer.
-
Performance impact
S.M.A.R.T. attr ibute data is saved to the disc so that the events that caused a predic tive failure can be recreated. The drive measures and saves paramete rs once every two hour s subject to an idle pe riod on the drive
interfaces. The pro cess o f meas uring off-line attribute data a nd sa ving data to th e disc is u ninterr uptable. Th e
maximum on-line only processing delay is summarized below:

Reporting control
Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Inform ational Exceptio ns Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to
the reporting metho d, t he firmw are w ill is sue to the h ost a n 0 1-5Dxx sense code. The error code is pr eserve d
through bus resets and power cycles.
Determining rate
S.M.A.R.T . monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded errors
increases to an unacceptable level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the number of
total operations for a given attribu te. The in terval de fine s the numb er of operati ons over which to mea sure the
rate. The counter that keeps track of the current number of operations is referred to as the Interval Counter.
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of
the number of errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.
Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to
set thresholds for the number of errors an d their inte rval. If the nu mber of error s exceed s the thr eshold bef ore
the interval expires, the error rate i s considered to be unacc eptable. If the number of errors does not exceed
the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable. In either case, the inter
val and failure counters are reset and the process starts over.
Predictive failures
S.M.A.R.T. sig nals predi ctiv e failures w hen the drive is performi ng unaccep tably for a period of tim e. The fir mware keeps a running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accomplish this, a cou nter is i ncremen ted each time the error rat e is un acceptable and decr emented (not to e xceed
zero) whenever t he error ra te is a cceptabl e. If the co unter contin ually in crem ents such that it reache s the pr e
dictive threshol d, a predictive failure is signaled. This counter is r eferred to as the Failure H istory Counter.
There is a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute.

5.2.5Thermal monitor
Savvio drives implement a temperature warning system which:
1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.
2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value.
3. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceeds the threatening temperature value.
A temperature sensor monito rs the drive temperature and is sues a warning over the int erface when the temperature exceeds a s et threshol d. The temper ature is measured at power-up an d then at te n-minute intervals
after power-up.
The thermal monitor syste m generates a warn ing code of 01- 0B01 when the temp erature exceeds th e specified limit in compl iance with the SCSI standard. T he drive temperature is repo rted in the FRU code field o f
mode sense data. You can use this information to determine if the warning is due to the temperature exceeding
the drive threatening temperature or the user-specified temperature.
This feature is controlled by the Enable Warning (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the
Method of Reporting Informational Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC)
mode page (1Ch).
The current algorithm impl ements two temperature trip points. The first trip point is set at 65°C which is the
maximum temperatur e limit a ccordi ng to th e dri ve spec ific ation. Th e seco nd trip point is us er-se lectable using
the Log Select com mand. The reference tempe rature parameter in the tem perature log page (see Table
11)
20Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B
can be used to set this trip point. The default value for this drive is 65°C, however, you can set it to any value in
the range of 0 to 65°C. If you s pec i fy a temp erature greater than 65°C in this fie ld, the te mpe ra ture i s rou nde d
down to 65°C. A sense code is sent to the host to indicate the rounding of the parameter field.

5.2.6Drive Self Test (DST)
Drive Self Tes t (DST) is a technology des igned to recognize drive faul t conditions that qualify the dr ive as a
failed unit. DST validates the functionality of the drive at a system level.
There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:
1. Extended test
2. Short text
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical
block address (LBA ) of the drive. The s hort test is time-r estricted and limited i n length—it does n ot scan the
entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media.
If DST encounters an er ror during either of these tests, i t reports a fault condition. If the driv e fails the test,
remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service.
5.2.6.1DST failure definition
The drive will presen t a “diagnostic failed” con dition through the self-te sts results value of the diagnos tic log
page if a functional failur e is enco untered du ring DST. The channel and servo parameters are not mod ified to
test the drive more strin gently, and the number of retries are not redu ced. All retries and recovery proce sses
are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no failure condition will be reported regardless of the number
of retries required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Seek error after retries are exhausted
• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted
• Read error after retries are exhausted
• Write error after retries are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.
5.2.6.2Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B21
5.2.6.2.1State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagno stic command . There are multipl e reasons
why a drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be
in process of doing a format, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not
ready” cause.
While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a
failed drive.
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:
• Motor will not spin
• Motor will not lock to speed
• Servo will not lock on track
• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc
In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
5.2.6.2.2Invoking DST
To invoke D ST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with th e appropria te Funct ion Code (001b for the sh ort
test or 010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7.
5.2.6.2.3Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1. short
2. extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of th ree s egm ents: a n el ec tric al test segm ent, a servo test segment , and a rea d/v er ify s ca n
segment.
Short test (Function Code: 001b)
The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-l imit ed te st tha t t e sts as m uch of the drive as possible within
120 seconds. The shor t test does not scan the entire me dia surface, but does some fu ndamental tests and
scans portions of the media. A complete read/verify scan is not performed and only factual failures will report a
fault condition. This option provides a quick confidence test of the drive.
Extended test (Function Code: 010b)
The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive components. For example, the seek
tests and on-track operations tes t the pos it ion ing mec han ism. T he read op erati on tes ts the read hea d ele men t
and the media surface. The write element is tested throu gh read/write/read operations. The inte grity of the
media is checked through a r ead/verif y scan of the med ia. Motor functio nality is tested by d efault as a part of
these tests.
The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.
22Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B
5.2.6.2.4Log page entries
When the drive begi ns DST, it creates a new entry in the Self -te st Resul ts Log page . The new entr y is c reated
by inserting a new self-test parameter block at the beginning of the self-test results log parameter section of the
log page. Existing da ta will be moved to make room f or the new parameter block. The dr iv e rep or ts 20 par am
eter blocks in the log page. If there are more than 20 parameter blocks, the least recent parameter block will be
deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized as follows:
1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command
2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh
3. The drive will store the log page to non-volatile memory
After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the dr i ve upda tes the Sel f- Test Results Value field in its Se lf-
Test Results L og page i n n on- vola til e m emory. The host may use Log Se ns e to re ad th e r esul ts from up to th e
last 20 self-tests performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit field that reports the results of the
test. If the field is set to zero, the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not set to zero,
the test failed for the reason reported in the field.
The drive will report th e failure condition and LBA (i f applicable) in the Self-tes t Results Log parameter. The
Sense key, ASC, ASCQ, and FRU are used to report the failure condition.
5.2.6.2.5Abort
There are several ways to abort a diagnostic. You can use a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device Reset message
to abort the diagnostic.
-
You can abort a DST ex ecuting in b ackground m ode by us ing the abort c ode in the DS T Functio n Code field.
This will cause a 01 ( self-test aborted b y the application cl ient) code to appear i n the self-test results v alues
log. All other abort mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-test routine was interrupted by a reset condition).

(14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
6.4.1Temperature
a. Operating
With cooling designe d to maintain the case temper atures, the dr ive meets all s pecificati ons over a 41° F to
131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C)
per hour. The enclosure for the drive shoul d be desig ned such that these temper atures not e xceeded. Air
flow may be needed to achieve these temp erature values (see Section
tures above these values may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ens ures that the case
temperatures are not ex ceeded. Occasional excursions to driv e ambient tempera tures of 131°F (55°C) or
41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. Air flow may be needed to achieve these tempera
tures. Continual or su staine d op erati on at c as e t emp eratur es a bov e t hese v al ues m ay deg rade MT BF. The
maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperature for the rated MTBF is 122°F (50°C).
To confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA is provided , place the drive in its final
mechanical configurati on, perform random write/read operati ons. After the temp eratures stabilize, measure
the case temperature of the drive.
The maximum allowabl e HDA c ase temperature is 60°C. Oper ati on of t he d riv e a t the ma xi mu m c ase t emperature is intended for short time periods only. Continuous operatio n at the elevated temperatures will

Seagate electronic driv e components pass accelerated corr osion testing equivalent to 10 ye ars exposure to
light industrial envir onments containi ng sulfuro us gases, chlorine an d nitric oxide , classes G and H per ASTM
B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use cauti on exposing any ele ctronic compo nents to uncontrolled chem ical pollutants and corr osive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installationenvironment. The silver, copper, n icke l and gold films used i n Seagate produc ts are especi ally sens itiv e to the presen ce of sulfide ,
chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components
should never be ex pose d to c ondensin g water on the surfac e of th e pri nted cir cuit bo ard a ssembly (PCBA ) or
exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulca
nized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compo unds ssho uld be minimiz ed or elimi nated. T he useful li fe of any
electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

7.0Defect and error management
Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are
designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation.
SCSI defect and error ma nagement involves drive intern al defect/error management and SA S system error
considerations ( errors in communication s between the initiator and the drive). In addition, Seagate provides
the following technologies used to increase data integrity and drive reliability:
• Background Media Scan (see Section 7.4)
• Media Pre-Scan (see Section 7.5)
• Deferred Auto-Reallocation (see Section 7.6)
• Idle Read After Write (see Section 7.7)
The read error rates and specified storage capacities are not dependent on host (initiator) defect management
routines.
7.1Drive internal defects/errors
During the initial drive format operation at the factor y, media defects are identified, tagged as being unusable ,
and their locations recorded on the dr ive primary defects list (referred to as the “P ’ list and also as the ETF
defect list). At factory format time, these known defects are also reallocated, that is, reassigned to a new place
on the medium and the lo cation listed in the defects reallocat ion table. The “P” list is n ot altered after factory
formatting. Locations of defects found and reallocated duri ng error recovery p rocedures after drive shipment
are listed in the “G” list (d efects growth list) . The “P” and “G ” lists may be refe renced by the in itiator u sing the
Read Defect Data command.
Details of the SCSI com man ds supp orted by the dr ive ar e des cribe d in t he SA S Interface Manual. Also, mor e
information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in the SAS Interface Manual.
7.2Drive error recovery procedures
When an error occurs during drive operation, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs error recovery procedures to attempt to recover the data. The error recovery procedures used depend on the options previously set
in the Error Recovery Par am ete rs mod e page. E rror r ecov er y and defect management may invol v e us ing se v
eral SCSI commands de scribed i n the SAS In terface M anual. The drive implem ents selectabl e error recove ry
time limits required in video applications.
The error recovery scheme supported by the drive provides a way to control the total error recovery time for the
entire command in addi tion to c ontr o ll ing the re co ve ry le ve l for a singl e LB A. T he total amount of time spent in
error recovery for a comm and c an be li mited using the Recovery Time Limit bytes in the E rror Rec ov ery mod e
page. The total amount of time spent in e rror recovery for a single LBA can be limited using the Re ad Retry
Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery mode page.
Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B37

The drive firmware error re covery alg orithms con sists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five le vels for write .
Each level may consis t of multip le steps, where a step is define d as a recove ry function involv ing a si ngle reread or re-write at temp t. Th e m ax im um lev el used by t he dr iv e i n LBA r ec ove ry i s dete rm in ed by the r ead an d
write retry counts.
Table 14 eq uates the read and write retry count with the maximu m possible recov ery time for read and write
recovery of individua l LBAs . The time s give n do not inc lude time taken to pe rform realloc ations . Realloc ations
are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the RC bit is zero, and the recov
ery time limit for the command has not yet been met. Time needed to p erform reallocation is not counted
against the recovery time limit.
-
38Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B
When the RC bit is on e, reall ocatio ns are d isabled even if the ARRE o r AWRE bits are one. The d rive will still
perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and
Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.
Table 14: Read and write retry count maximum recovery times
Setting these retry counts to a value be low the default set ting could resul t in degradation of the unrecove red
error rate. For example, suppose the read/write recovery page has the RC bit = 0, the read retry count set to 4,
and the recovery ti me limit set to 450. A 4-block read co mmand can take up to 371 msec recovery time for
each block and a maximum of 450 ms ec recovery for all four blo cks. If either of these limits is reached and a
block has not yet been r ecovered, the co mmand will end with Che ck Condition status and an unrecoverable
read error will be reported.
7.3SAS system errors
Information on the re porting of operational er rors or faults across the in terface is given in the SAS Interface
Manual. The SSP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The
Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.
Status returned by the drive to the initiator is de scribed in t he SAS Interfac e Manu al. Status reporting plays a
role in systems e rro r manage men t and its use in that res pect is d escribed in sectio ns wh ere the v arious com
mands are discussed.
7.4Background Media Scan
Background Media S can (BMS) is a self-initiated media s can. BMS is defined in the T10 docu ment SPC-4
available from the T10 co mmittee. BMS perf orms sequentia l reads across the en tire pack of the media whil e
the drive is idle. In RAID arrays , BMS allows hot spar e drive s to b e scanne d for defects pri or to bei ng put into
service by the ho st sys tem. On regular duty d rive s, if the hos t s yste m m ak es us e o f the B MS Log Pa ge, it can
avoid placing data i n suspect locations o n the media . Unreadabl e and recov ered error s ites will be logged or
reallocated per ARRE/AWRE settings.
With BMS, the host system can consume le ss power an d system over head by only ch ecking BMS status and
results rather than tying up the bus and consuming power in the process of host-initiated media scanning activ
ity.
-
-
Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B39
Since the background scan functions are only done during idle periods, BMS causes a negligible impact to system performance. The fi rst BMS scan for a ne wly manufactured driv e is performed as qu ickly as possible to
verify the media and p rotect da ta by setting t he “Start time after idle” to 5ms, all s ubse quent s cans beg in after
500ms of idle time. Othe r features that no rmally use id le time to fu nction will func tion normally because BMS
functions for bursts of 800m s and then suspends activity for 100 ms to allow other background function s to
operate.
BMS interrupts immediately to service host commands from the interface bus while performing reads. BMS will
complete any BMS-initiated error recovery prior to returning to service host-initiated commands. Overhead
associated with a ret urn to host-servicing activity from BMS only impacts the first command tha t interrupted
BMS, this results in a typical delay of about 1 ms.
7.5Media Pre-Scan
Media Pre-Scan is a fea tur e th at al lo ws the d rive to repa ir me dia er ro rs tha t wou ld o the rwi se hav e b een foun d
by the host system during critical data accesses early in the drive’s life. The default setting for Media Pre-Scan
is enabled on s tandard pr oducts. M edia Pre-S can chec ks eac h wr ite c ommand to de termine if the de stina tion
LBAs have been scanned by BMS. If t he LBAs have been v erified, the drive pr oceeds with the nor mal write
command. If the LBAs have not been verified by BMS, Pre-Scan will convert the write to a write verify to certify
that the data was properly written to the disc.
Note.During Pre-Sca n write verify comma nds, write perform ance may decreas e by 50% until Pre-Sca n
completes. Write perform ance testing should be perfor med after Pre-Scan is complete. This may
be checked by reading the BMS status.
To expedite the scan of the full pack and subsequently exit from the Pre-Scan period, BMS will begin scanning
immediately when the drive goes to idle during the Pre-Scan pe riod. In the event that the drive is in a high
transaction traffic environment and is unable to c omplete a BMS sca n within 24 power on hou rs BMS wil l dis
able Pre-Scan to restore full performance to the system.
7.6Deferred Auto-Reallocation
Deferred Auto-Reallocation (DAR) simplifies reallocation algorithms at the system level by allowing the drive to
reallocate unreadab le loc at ion s o n a subsequent write command . Si tes are m a rke d fo r D AR d uring r ead oper
ations performed by the drive. When a write command is received for an LBA marked for DAR, the auto-reallocation process is invoked and attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite
fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.
This is in contrast to the system having to use the Reassign Command to reassign a location that was unreadable and then generate a write co mmand to rewrite the data. DAR is most effective whe n AWRE and ARRE
are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is
unable to reallocate th e failing loc ation and wi ll report a n error sens e code ind icating that a w rite comman d is
being attempted to a previously failing location.
7.7Idle Read After Wr ite
Idle Read After Write (IRAW) utilizes idle time to verify the integrity of recently written data. During idle periods,
no active system requests, the drive reads rec ently written data from the media an d compares it to val id write
command data resident in the drives data buffer. Any sectors that fail the comparison result in the invocation of
a rewrite and auto-rea llocation proce ss. The process attempts to rewrite the data to the original lo cation. If a
verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.

8.0Installation
Savvio disc drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the
drive.
SAS drives are desi gned to be used in a host s ystem that provides a SAS -compatible backplane with ba ys
designed to accom odate the drive. In su ch systems, the h ost system typically p rovides a carrier or tray into
which you need to mount the drive. Mount the drive to the carrier or tray provided by the host system using four
M3 x 0.5 metric s crews. Wh en t ightening the s crews, use a maxi mum to rque of 4 .5 in-lb + /- 0.45 in-l b. Do no t
over-tighten or force the screws. You can mount the drive in any orientation.
Note.SAS drives a re designed to be attached to the host system without I/O or power ca bles. If you
intend the use the drive in a non-backplane host system , connecting the drive using high- quality
cables is acceptable as long as the I/O cable length does not exceed 4 meters (13.1 feet).
Slide the carrier or tray into the appropriate bay in your host system using the instructions provided by the host
system. This connects the drive directly to your system’s SAS connector. The SAS connector is normally
located on a SAS backpanel. See
Power is supplied through the SAS connector.
The drive is shipped fr om the factory low-level forma tted in 512 -byte logical blocks. You need to reformat the
drive only if you want to select a different logical block size.
Section 9.4.1 for additional information about these connectors.

8.1Drive orientation
The drive may be m ounted in any orientation. All dr ive performance characterizati ons, however, have been
done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two pre

the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in
The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat remov al from the electronics and
head and disc assem bl y (HD A). You should confirm that ade quate heat removal is provided using the temper
ature measurement guidelines described in Section 6.4.1.
Forced air flow may be required to keep temper atures at or below the temp eratures spe cified in Section 6.4. 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 providi ng air flow to the elec tronics and HDA. Al so, the shortest poss ible path between the air
inlet and exit should be chos en to minimi ze the tr avel leng th of air heated by the drive and other heat sourc es
within the rack, cabinet, or drawer environment.
If forced air is det er min ed to be nec essa r y, possible air-flow patterns a re shown i n F i gure 10. T he ai r-flow patterns are created by on e or more fans, e ither forcing or d rawing air as sh own in the illu strations. C onduction,

8.3Drive mounting
Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure
that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface.
The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define
the allowable mounting surface stiffness:
K x X = F < 15lb = 67N
where K is the mounting s urface stiffness (units in lb/i n or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surfac e distortion
(units in inches or millimeters ). The out-of- plane distor tion (X) is determine d by defin ing a plane w ith three o f
the four mounting po ints fixed and evaluat ing the out-of-plan e deflection of the fo urth mounting poi nt when a
known force (F) is applied to the fourth point.
8.4Grounding
Signal ground (PCB A) and HDA ground a re connected to gether in the drive an d cannot be separate d by the
user. The equipment in which the drive is mou nte d is co nne cte d dire ct ly to the HD A an d P CBA with no el ec tri
cally isolating s hock mounts. If it is desired for the sy stem chassis to not be connected t o the HDA/PCBA
ground, the systems in tegrator or user must provide a noncond uctive (elec trically is olating) m ethod of mou nt
ing the drive in the host equipment.
Increased radiated em issions may res ult if you do not provid e the maximum su rface area ground conn ection
between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.

9.3.2Mode Sense data
The Mode Sense command pr ovide s a way for the driv e to report its operati ng paramete rs to the initi ator. The
drive maintains four sets of mode parameters:
1. Default values
Default values are har d-coded in the drive firmwa re stored in fl ash E-PROM (non volatile me mory) on the
drive’s PCB. These defa ult values can be changed o nly by downloadi ng a complete s et of new firmw are
into the flash E-PROM. An ini tiator can requ est and rece ive from the driv e a list of default values and use
those in a Mode Select co mmand to set up new current and s aved values , where the val ues are chan ge
able.
2. Saved values
Saved values are st ored on the dr ive’s media us ing a Mode Selec t comman d. Only parameter va lue s that
are allowed to be changed can be changed by this method. Parameters in the saved values list that are not
changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from default values storage.
When power is applied to the drive, it take s saved values from the media and stores them as current values in volatile memo ry. It is not possible to change the current val ues (or the saved va lues) with a Mode
Select command before the drive achieves operating speed and is “ready.” An attempt to do so results in a
“Check Condition” status.
Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B51
-
On drives requiring unique sa ved value s, the req uired unique saved value s are sto red into the saved va lues storage location on the medi a pr i or to sh ip ping the drive. Some drives m ay have uni qu e fir m war e wit h
unique default values also.
On standard OEM drives, the saved values are taken from the default values list and stored into the saved
values storage location on the media prior to shipping.
3. Current values
Current values are volatile values being used by the drive to control its operation. A Mode Select command
can be used to change the values identifi ed as chan geable va lues. Ori ginally, current values a re installed
from saved or default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.
4. Changeable values
Changeable values form a bit mask, stored in nonvolatile memory, that dictates which of the current values
and saved values can be changed by a Mode Select command. A one (1) i ndicates the value can be
changed. A zero (0 ) indicates t he value is not changeab le. For exam ple, in Table
81, in the row entitled “CHG.” These are hex numbers representing the ch angeab le values for Mode page
81. Note in columns 5 and 6 (bytes 04 and 05), there is 00h which indicates that in bytes 04 and 05 none of
the bits are changeable. Note al so that bytes 06, 07, 09, 10, and 11 are not changeable, bec ause those
fields are all zeros. In byte 02, hex value FF equates to the binary pattern 11111111. If there is a zero in any
bit position in the fie ld, it mea ns that bit is no t changeable. Since all of the bits in byte 02 are ones, al l of
these bi ts are changeable.
The changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash E-PROM.
Note.Because there are often several different versions of drive control firmware in the total population of
drives in the field, the Mode Sense values given in the following tables may not exactly match those
of some drives.
19, refer to Mode page
The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense command pages for SCSI implementation (see the SAS Interface Manual ).
DEF = Default value. Standard OEM drives are shipped configured this way.
CHG = Changeable bits; indicates if default value is changeable.

methodology is us ed for the spe cification of transmitte r characterist ics. This m ethodology spe cifies the trans
mitter signal at the test points on the requir ed test loads. The tra nsmitter uses the same settings (e.g., preemphasis, voltage swing ) with both the ze ro -leng th te st load and the TCTF tes t l oad . The s i gnal spec if ic ati ons
at IR are met under each of these loading conditions.
The TCTF is the mathematical statement of the transfer function through which the transmitter shall be capable
of producing acce ptable signals as defined by a recei ve mask. The tra nsmission magnitud e response of th e
TCTF in dB is given by the following equation for 1.5 Gbps:

The TCTF is used to specify the requirements on transmitters that may or may not incorporate pre-emphasis or
other forms of compensation. A compliance interconnect is any physical interconnect with loss equal to or
greater than that of the T CT F at the abo ve frequencies that also mee ts the IS I lo ss r equ irements shown in

Compliance with the TC TF te st l oa d r equ ireme n t is v eri fie d by me asu r ing the s i gna l pr od uced by the transmitter through a physical compliance interconnect attached to the transmitter.

9.5.2.5Receiver characteristics
The drive receiver is A.C. coupled. The receive network terminates the TxRx connection by a 100 ohm equivalent impedance as specified in table 31.
The receiver operates wit hin a BE R of 10
-12
when a SAS signal with valid v ol tage and ti min g ch ar acter ist ics is
delivered to the compliance p oint from a 1 00 ohm source. The received SAS signal are considered valid if it
meets the voltage and timing limits specified in
table 28.
Additionally the rec eiver operates within the BE R objective when the signal at a receiving phy has th e additional sinusoida l jitter present that is specified in table 30 and the common mode signal VCM over frequency
range FCM as specified in table 26. T he j itter tol erance is s hown in Figu re 17 for all Rx complian ce po ints in a
TxRx connection. The figure given assumes that any external interference occurs prior to the point at which the
test is applied. Wh e n te st ing th e j it ter to ler a nce c apabil it y of a rec ei v er, the additional 0.1 UI of sinusoidal ji tter
may be reduced by an amount propor tional to the actual externa lly induced interference betwe en the applic a
tion point of the tes t and the input to the receiving phy. The additional jitter red uces the eye open ing in both
voltage and time.
