Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA model drives: ® ST9500327AS ST9160317AS ST9320327AS ST9120317AS ST9250317AS ST980314AS These drives provide the following key features: • DriveTrust technology including: • Hardware-based Full Disk Encryption (FDE) •...
About Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA disk drives The Momentus ® 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives contain DriveTrust technology providing Full Disk Encryption (FDE) using proven Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption and decryption. You can elect to use Momentus 5400 FDE.4 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.
Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. Specification summary table The specifications listed in this table are for quick reference. For details on specification measurement or defi- nition, see the appropriate section of this manual. Table 2: Drive specifications Drive specification...
5 years on distribution units. To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following 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.
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 Deferred spinup Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives do not support the deferred spinup option. If you require this option, refer to the Momentus 5400.3 SATA Blade Server family of drives. 2.9.3 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on...
2.9.5 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. 2.10.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 350 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec.
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.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission levels are defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are defined by EN 55024. Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in representative end-user systems. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives.
As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology International has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disk 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.
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 disk drive, Seagate highly encourages consumers to consistently back up their data as Note.
Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters”...
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 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives may be installed in the target computer system in exactly the same way as a non-FDE Momentus drive. Figure 5. Momentus 5400 FDE.4 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 5400.5 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.
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”...
