About Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA disc drives Momentus ® 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives contain DriveTrust technology providing Full Disc Encryption (FDE) using proven Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption and decryption. You can elect to use Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives in one of two different security modes: 1.
Momentus drive. The encryption key is enabled and operational when the drive leaves the Seagate factory. No user id is required to access the drive, so the data on the drive is accessible to anyone possessing the drive.

To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the follow- ing web page: www.seagate.com/support/service/ From this page, click on the “Verify Your Warranty” link. You will be asked to provide the drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase. The system will display the warranty information for your drive.
and formatting. **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. ***Typical notebooks will pull power to the drive when entering S3 and S4; while in the S3 and S4 states, drive sleep and drive standby modes will not contribute to battery power consumption.

Seek time 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. •...
Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. 2.9.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in table 3. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. •...
2.9.1.1 Typical current profile Figure 1. Typical +5V only startup and operation current profile 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.
2.9.4 Power-management 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: Table 4: Power management modes Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer...
2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 65°C (149°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 feet. Operating 0°...
2.10.5 Shock All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Additional shock protection is provided by the Free Fall Protection feature on ST9320424ASG, Note.
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this pro- cess is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses the lower limit for the threshold curve* to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules.

• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV. • Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets. If necessary, you should consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional sug- gestions.
The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.
Please contact your system or software provider for more details. Refer to Table 1 on page 2 to determine which mode is best for your particular solution. As with any disc drive, Seagate highly encourages consumers to consistently back up their data as Note.
• Do not obstruct the breather hole located on the top cover of the drive. Refer to Figure 4 for the exact location of this hole. Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter.
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 dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mount- ing the drive: • Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling. •...
Drive integration Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives may be installed in the target computer system in exactly the same way as a non-FDE Momentus drive. Figure 5. Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drive label example To install the drive in the system: 1.
3.5.1 Drive installation Upon receipt by the consumer, the drive’s user interface is identical to a Momentus 7200.3 drive. The normal ATA security commands are functioning and available for initialization of the password as follows: Per normal ATA Security Commands specifications, the drive is unlocked and all ATA security commands and all normal ATA commands may be issued.
Page 32
The drive may now be disposed of safely, or the drive may be returned to service for another consumer follow- ing the initialization procedure defined above. Drives returned to Seagate for warranty purposes have special requirements. See the warranty information in Section 2.13 for additional details.
Serial ATA interface These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA (SATA) interface that supports FIS data transfers. It sup- ports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers. For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment”...
