How to Read Model Numbers
WUH721414ALE6L4 – 14TB SATA 6Gb/s 512e Base (SE) with Legacy Pin 3 config
W = Western Digital
U = Ultrastar
H = Helium
72 = 7200 RPM
14 = Max capacity (14TB)
14 = Capacity this model (14TB)
A = Generation code
L = 26.1mm z-height
E6 = Interface (512e SATA 6Gb/s)
(52 = 512e SAS 12Gb/s)
** 512e models can be converted to 4Kn format and vice versa
y = Power Disable Pin 3 status
(0 = Power Disable Pin 3 support
L = Legacy Pin 3 config – No Power Disable Support)
z = Data Security Mode
1 = SED* : Self-Encryption Drive
TCG-Enterprise and Sanitize Crypto Scramble / Erase
4 = Base (SE)* : No Encryption, Sanitize Overwrite only
5 = SED-FIPS: SED w/ certification (SAS only)
* ATA Security Feature Set comes standard on SATA
** See section 12.50 Set Sector Configuration Ext

One TB equals one trillion bytes when referring to storage capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated
capacity due to operating environment.

3 Fixed disk subsystem description
Control Electronics
The drive is electronically controlled by a microprocessor, several logic modules, digital/analog modules, and
various drivers and receivers. The control electronics performs the following major functions:
Controls and interprets all interface signals between the host controller and the drive.
Controls read write accessing of the disk media, including defect management and error recovery.
Controls starting, stopping, and monitoring of the spindle.
Conducts a power-up sequence and calibrates the servo.
Analyzes servo signals to provide closed loop control. These include position error signal and estimated
velocity.
Monitors the actuator position and determines the target track for a seek operation.
Controls the voice coil motor driver to align the actuator in a desired position.
Constantly monitors error conditions of the servo and takes corresponding action if an error occurs.
Monitors various timers such as head settle and servo failure.
Performs self-checkout (diagnostics).
Head disk assembly
The head disk assembly (HDA) is assembled in a clean room environment and contains the disks and actuator
assembly. Helium is constantly circulated and filtered when the drive is operational. No venting of the HDA is
accomplished, as HDA is hermetically sealed.
The spindle is driven directly by an in-hub, brushless, sensor less DC drive motor. Dynamic braking is used to stop
the spindle quickly.
Actuator
The read/write heads are mounted in the actuator. The actuator is a swing-arm assembly driven by a voice coil
motor. A closed-loop positioning servo controls the movement of the actuator. An embedded servo pattern supplies
feedback to the positioning servo to keep the read/write heads centered over the desired track.
The actuator assembly is balanced to allow vertical or horizontal mounting without adjustment.
When the drive is powered off, the actuator automatically moves the head to the actuator ramp outside of the disk
where it parks.

Drive organization
4.4.1 Drive Format
Upon shipment from Western Digital manufacturing the drive satisfies the sector continuity in the physical format by
means of the defect flagging strategy described in Section 5 on page 26 in order to provide the maximum
performance to users.
4.4.2 Cylinder allocation
Physical cylinder is calculated from the starting data track of 0. It is not relevant to logical CHS. Depending on the
capacity some of the inner zone cylinders are not allocated.
Data cylinder
This cylinder contains the user data which can be sent and retrieved via read/write commands and a spare area for
reassigned data.
Spare cylinder
The spare cylinder is used by Western Digital manufacturing and includes data sent from a defect location.

Performance characteristics
Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:
Command overhead
Mechanical positioning
- Seek time
- Latency
Data transfer speed
Buffering operation (Look ahead/Write cache)
All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the
performance of the actual system. This specification defines the characteristics of the drive, not the characteristics
of the system throughput which depends on the system and the application.
The terms “Typical” and “Max” are used throughout this specification with the following meanings:
Typical. The average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental and voltage conditions.
Max. The maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and voltage
conditions. (See Section 6.2, “Environment” and Section 6.3, “DC Power Requirements”)

This includes the time required for the internal self diagnostics.
Notes: The typical and maximum drive ready time in the table are for proper power shutdown using the Required
Power-Off Sequence. In the event of an EPO (Emergency Power Off), the drive ready times in the table can be
exceeded by as much as 2s-4s. The additional time is used to condition the drive for user data access. The actual
time may vary depending on the drive pre-condition before the EPO event.

5 Defect flagging strategy
Media defects are remapped to the next available sector during the Format Process in manufacturing. The mapping
from LBA to the physical locations is calculated by an internally maintained table.
Shipped format
Data areas are optimally used.
No extra sector is wasted as a spare throughout user data areas.
All pushes generated by defects are absorbed by the spare tracks of the inner zone.
Figure 1 PList physical format
Defects are skipped without any constraint, such as track or cylinder boundary. The calculation from LBA to
physical is done automatically by internal table.

Electrical interface
6.1.1 Connector location
Refer to the following illustration to see the location of the connectors.
Figure 2 Connector location
Signal connector
A Serial ATA device may be either directly connected to a host or connected to a host through a cable.
For direct connection, the device plug connector is inserted directly into a backplane connector. The device plug
connector and the backplane connector incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable
and blind mate able.
For connection via cable, the device signal plug connector mates with the signal cable receptacle connector on one
end of the cable. The signal cable receptacle connector on the other end of the cable is inserted into a host signal
plug connector. The signal cable wire consists of two twinax sections in a common outer sheath.
Besides the signal cable, there is also a separate power cable for the cabled connection. A Serial ATA power cable
includes a power cable receptacle connector on one end and may be directly connected to the host power supply
on the other end or may include a power cable receptacle on the other end. The power cable receptacle connector
on one end of the power cable mates with the device power plug connector. The other end of the power cable is
attached to the host as necessary.

* SATA Specification Revision 3.1 and prior revisions assigned 3.3V to pins P1, P2 and P3. In addition, device plug
pins P1, P2, and P3 were required to be bused together. In the standard configuration of this product,
P3 is connected with P1 and P2 and this product behaves as SATA 3.1 or prior version product in a system
designed to SATA 3.2 system that does not support the 3.3 feature. For product with the optional SATA 3.3 Power
Disable Feature supported, P3 is now assigned as the POWER DISABLE CONTROL PIN. If P3 is driven HIGH
(2.1V-3.6V max), power to the drive circuitry will be disabled. Drives with this optional feature WILL NOT POWER
UP in systems designed to SATA Spec Revision 3.1 or earlier because P3 driven HIGH will prevent the drive from
powering up.
