(Volume 1), which defines the product performance char- acteristics of the Barracuda 36ES2 family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual , part number 75789509, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives.
Standard features The Barracuda 36ES2 family has the following standard features: • Integrated Ultra160 SCSI controller • Multimode SCSI drivers and receivers—single-ended (SE) and low voltage differential (LVD) • 16 bit I/O data bus on LW models. 8 bit I/O data bus on the N model. •...
Unformatted and formatted capacities Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocation sectors reserved and the number of bytes per sector. The following table shows the standard OEM model capacities: Formatted data block size 512 bytes/sector [1] ST336938LW 044D53B5h (36.954 GB) [2] ST336918N 044D53B5h (36.954 GB) [2] ST318438LW...
SCSI interface data transfer rate (asynchronous): Maximum instantaneous one byte wide Maximum instantaneous two bytes wide Synchronous formatted transfer rate In single-ended (SE) interface mode In low voltage differential (LVD) interface mode Sector Sizes: Default 512 byte user data blocks Variable 512 to 4,096 bytes per sector in even number of bytes per sector.
Cache operation In general, 2,048 Kbytes of the physical buffer space in the drive can be used as storage space for cache oper- ations. The buffer can be divided into logical segments (Mode Select Page 08h, byte 13) from which data is read and to which data is written.
Barracuda 36ES2 Product Manual, Rev. B 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 before the data has been written to the medium.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints (see Section 8.3). Seek Errors Read Error Rates [1] Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data MTBF Service Life Preventive Maintenance Note.
error (15h) is reported with a Medium error (3h) or Hardware error (4h) reported in the Sense Key. This is an unrecoverable seek error. Unrecoverable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Refer to the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509, for Request Sense information. Reliability and service You can enhance the reliability of Barracuda 36ES2 disc drives by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Barracuda 36ES2 disc drives support all four hot plugging cases. Provision shall be made by the sys- tem such that a device being inserted makes power and ground connections prior to the connection of any device signal contact to the bus.
The process of measuring off-line attributes and saving data can be forced by the RTZ command. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. will reset the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt will be two hours. The drive can be interrogated by the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measure- ment and data logging process will occur.
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.
Seagate’s option and at no charge to customer, if returned by customer at cus- tomer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’s warranty procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to customer.

Power dissipation ST336938/ST318438 The drives typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 8.0 watts (27.3 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 4). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis.
ST336918/ST318418 The drives typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 8.0 watts (27.3 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 5). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the correspond- ing +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis.
Non-operating –40° to 163°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive. HDA Temperature Check Point Figure 6.
>600 cu in (>9,800 cu cm) Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or equivalent.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.
Mechanical specifications The following nominal dimensions are exclusive of the decorative front panel accessory. However, dimensions of the front panel are shown in figure below. Refer to Figures 8 and 9 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 8.3, “Drive mounting.” Height: 1.000 in Width:...
Figure 9. N mounting configuration dimensions Notes: Mounting holes are 6-32 UNC 2B, three on each side and four on the bottom. Max screw penetration into side of drive is 0.15 in. (3.81 mm). Max screw tightening torque is 6.0 in-lb (3.32 nm) with minimum full thread engagement of 0.12 in.
Defect and error management The drive, as delivered, complies with this specification. The read error rate and specified storage capacity are not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator). Defect and error management in the SCSI system involves the drive internal defect/error management and SCSI systems error considerations (errors in communications between Initiator and the drive).

9.7.1.1 Single-ended drivers/receivers for N models For “N” models which use single-ended drivers and receivers, typical circuits are shown in Figure 24. Termina- tor circuits (see Note [1]) are to be enabled only when the disc drive is first or last in the daisy-chain. Transmitter characteristics Single-ended drives use an ANSI SCSI compatible open collector single-ended driver.
Table 16: Cable characteristics for single-ended circuits Maximum number of I/O transfer rate devices on the bus <10M transfers/s 16 (wide SCSI bus) <20M transfers/s 4 (wide SCSI bus) <20M transfers/s 8 (wide SCSI bus) A stub length of no more than 0.1 meter (0.33 ft) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any connected equipment.
Terminator requirements N models have active, permanently mounted LSI terminator circuits on board the PCB. All single initiator/single target (non-daisy-chain) applications require that the Initiator and disc drive be termi- nated. Daisy-chain applications require that only the units at each end of the daisy-chain be terminated. All other peripherals on the chain must not be terminated (see Figure 21).
