Savvio SCSI 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. The drive’s interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect/reconnect, self-configuring host software, and automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical block addressing is used).
Savvio SCSI drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns. A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation. Standard features The Savvio SCSI family has the following standard features: •...
137,577,184 83342E0 2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between other drive families and from generation to genera- tion, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
Options (factory installed) All customer requested options are incorporated during production or packaged at the manufacturing facility before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options): • Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested. •...

Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control The drive provides prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. “Cache” as used herein refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select prefetch and cache features the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in Mode Page 08h (see the SCSI Command Reference Manual).
4.5.1 Caching write data Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored in one or more segments while the drive performs the write command. If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail- able for future read cache hits.

want to configure the cache to provide large volumes of sequential data in a non-repetitive manner. In this case, the ability of the cache to “look ahead” to the next contiguous segments of sequential data is a good thing. The Performance Mode (PM) bit controls the way the drive switches the cache buffer into different modes of segmentation.
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 Less than 10 in 10 seeks Read Error Rates [1] Recovered Data Less than 10 errors in 10 bits transferred (OEM default settings) Unrecovered Data...
5.1.2 Read errors Before determination or measurement of read error rates: • The data that is to be used for measurement of read error rates must be verified as being written correctly on the media. • All media defect induced errors must be excluded from error rate calculations. 5.1.3 Write errors Write errors can occur as a result of media defects, environmental interference, or equipment malfunction.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Savvio SCSI disc drives support all four hot plugging cases. Provision shall be made by the system such that a device being inserted makes power and ground connections prior to the connection of any device signal contact to the bus.
End users should not mix devices with high voltage differential (HVD) drivers and receivers and devices with SE, LVD, or multimode drivers and receivers on the same SCSI bus since the common mode voltages in the HVD environment may not be controlled to safe levels for SE and LVD devices (see ANSI SPI-3). The disc drive spindle must come to a complete stop prior to completely removing the drive from the cabinet chassis.
Determining rate S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded error rate increases to an unacceptable level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the num- ber of total operations for a given attribute. The interval defines the number of operations over which to mea- sure the rate.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. 5.2.9.1 DST Failure Definition The drive will present a “diagnostic failed”...

Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Savvio SCSI drive. AC power requirements None. DC power requirements The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown in the following table. Values indicated apply at the drive power connector.
Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads at: 259 I/Os per second (ST973401LC) 259 I/Os per second (ST936701LC) During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from three-quarters to maximum track. General Notes from Table 2: 1.
Power dissipation ST973401 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 5.07 watts (17.3 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 5.02 watts (17.1 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 6 and 7).
ST936701 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 4.83 watts (16.5 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 4.83 watts (16.5 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 6 and 7).
Non-operating –40° to 158°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 Temp.
6.4.2 Relative humidity The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs. a. Operating 5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 20% per hour. b. Non-operating 5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. 6.4.3 Effective altitude (sea level) a.
36 in (914 mm) 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.
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%.
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.

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).
used when data integrity is not a concern and speed is of utmost importance. If the Recovery Time Limit or retry count is reached during error recovery, the state of the RC bit is examined. If the RC bit is set, the drive will transfer the unrecovered data with no error indication and continue to execute the remaining command.
• Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally purchased drive installation software. If necessary see Section 10.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers. • Do not remove the manufacturer’s installed labels from the drive and do not cover with additional labels, as the manufacturer labels contain information required when servicing the product.
If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 13. The air-flow patterns are created by fans either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air- flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.4.1 are met. Above unit Under unit Note.
No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be considered by designers when designing a system in which this family of drives can properly operate. Seagate declares that the drives operate in accordance with the appropriate ANSI Standards referenced in various places herein, with exceptions as noted herein or in the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual .

Figure 14 shows the location of the SCSI interface connector. Details of the physical, electrical and logical characteristics are given in sections following, while the SCSI operational aspects of Seagate drive interfaces are given in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. 9.6.1 DC cable and connector SFF.1 LC model drives receive power through the 80-pin I/O connector.
Figure 14. Physical interface (80-pin SCSI I/O connector) 9.6.2 SCSI interface physical description Savvio SCSI drives support the physical interface requirements of the Ultra320 SCSI Parallel Interface-4 (SPI- 4), and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 standards. It should be noted that this is only true if the systems engineering has been correctly done, and if earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 devices respond in an acceptable manner (per applicable SCSI Standards) to reject newer Ultra320 protocol extensions that they don’t support.
