Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in page 08h.
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. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of RCD.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all inter- face timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Less than 10 errors in 10 seeks Read Error Rates Recovered Data Less than 10 errors in 10 bits transferred (OEM default settings)
6.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
6.2.4 S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs. Note.
Reporting control Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5Dxx sense code. The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles. Determining rate S.M.A.R.T.
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.
Page 25
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions: • Motor will not spin • Motor will not lock to speed • Servo will not lock on track • Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disk In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
The maximum recommended storage period for the drive in a non-operational environment is 90 days. Drives should be stored in the original unopened Seagate shipping packaging when ever possible. Once the drive is removed from the Seagate original packaging the recommended maximum period between drive operation cycles is 30 days.

Power dissipation ST9146802SS in 3Gb operation Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 3Gb operation is 5.18W (17.68 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.
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.
7.4.2 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. 7.4.3 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 in (1070 mm) against a concrete floor or equiv- alent.
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.
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 Figure 8 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 9.3, “Drive mounting.” Height: 0.583 in 14.8 mm Width:...
Defect and error management Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation. SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re- read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts.
DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.
Idle Read After Write Idle Read After Write (IRAW) utilizes idle time to verify the integrity of recently written data. During idle periods, no active system requests, the drive reads recently written data from the media and compares it to valid write command data resident in the drives data buffer.
Installation Savvio disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive. SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accomodate the drive. In such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray into which you need to mount the drive.
Cooling Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in Section 7.4.1, "Temperature." The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal from the electronics and head and disk assembly (HDA).
Drive mounting Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm).
10.0 Interface requirements This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on Savvio drives. Additional infor- mation is provided in the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071). 10.1 SAS features This section lists the SAS-specific features supported by Savvio drives. 10.1.1 task management functions Table 15 lists the SAS task management functions supported.
10.2 Dual port support Savvio SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports run at the same link rate. The first port to successfully complete speed negotiation sets the link rate support by both ports.

A combination of a zero-length test load and the transmitter compliance transfer function (TCTF) test load methodology is used for the specification of transmitter characteristics. This methodology specifies the trans- mitter signal at the test points on the required test loads. The transmitter uses the same settings (e.g., pre- emphasis, voltage swing) with both the zero-length test load and the TCTF test load.
