This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate
U Series 9® ce model drives:
• ST3160022ACE
• ST3120025ACE
• ST380012ACE
These drives provide the following key features:
• High instantaneous (burst) data transfer rates (up to 100 Mbytes per second) using Ultra DMA mode 5.
• Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) recording heads and EPRML technology, which provide the drives with
increased areal density.
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.
• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.
• Quiet operation.
• 350 Gs nonoperating shock.
• SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
• The 3D Defense System™, which includes Drive Defense, Data Defense, and Diagnostic Defense, offers
the industry’s most comprehensive protection for disc drives.
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.
• Support for Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands.
• Support for autodetection of master/slave drives that use cable select (CSEL).

2.0Drive specifications
Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal
power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate
ST3160022ACE, ST3120025ACE, and ST380012ACE model drives.
2.1Specification summary table
The specifications listed in this table are for quick reference. For details on specification measurement or definition, see the appropriate section of this manual.
*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and
power to operational levels.

2.2.1LBA mode
When addressing these drives in LBA mode, all blocks (sectors) are consecutively numbered from 0 to n–1,
where n is the number of guaranteed sectors as defined above.
See Section 4.1.2, "Identify Device command" (words 60-61 and 100-103) for additional information about 48bit addressing support of drives with capacities over 137 Gbytes.

Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using
drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table 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<1.0<1.2
Average8.59.5
Average latency:4.164.16
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.

2.9Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.
