1.1 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 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.

1.2 Non-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.
