2.7 Seek time

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.

*Typical seek times (msec) Read Write

Track-to-track 1.5 2.0
Average 12.0 14.0
Full-stroke 22.0 26.0
Average latency 5.6 5.6

*Measured in performance mode

Note. These 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 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 requiremen ts for the dr i ves are lis ted in the ta bl e on p age 8 . Typical power measurements are based on
an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

S pinup power is measured from th e time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle r eaches 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.

• Operating power and current

Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each
10 reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.

• 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 mode.

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 by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write

current.

2.9.4 Power-manageme nt 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 (operating) Tracking Rotating Enabled
Idle, performance Tracking Rotating Enabled
Idle, active Floating Rotating Disabled
Idle, low power Parked Rotating Disabled
Standby Parked Stopped Disabled
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 S t an dby 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 dela y is established using a S tandby or Idle com mand. In Sta ndby
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 Slee p mo de after receiving a Slee p com mand from the host. I n Sle ep m ode, the dr ive bu ffer
is disabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a
Hard Reset or Sof t Reset from the host. A fter receivi ng a reset, the drive exit s Sleep mode and enters S tandby
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 fr om its specified del ay times to zero. If the stand by timer reaches zero before an y 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.

3.2.2 Cable-select option

Computers that use cable select determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28,
CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable. To
enable cable select, set a jumper as shown in Figure 3. Refer to your computer manual to determine whether
your computer supports this option.

3.3 Drive 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 mounting di m ensions. Follow 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).

This command con trols the implement ation of var ious features that the dr iv e 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:

4.1.4 S.M.A.R.T. co mmands

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-6 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 w ith S. M.A.R .T. features disabled. Yo u mu st ha ve a r ecent BIOS 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.

5.0 Compatibility summary

5.1 Installation considerations

Many of today’s mobile com puter s have bee n design ed to make it possible for the end user to rep lace the ha rd
drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific
instructions regarding replacement. Refer to your system manufacturer’s support website for the most up-to­date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when replacing the
system hard drive. Some mobile systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain access to the hard
drive. Special training or tools may be needed to service some mobile computers. In some cases, opening the
case may void your warranty. Consult your system documentation. Seagate recommends taking your system
to an authorized service technician to replace your hard drive.
