Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Scope This manual describes the Seagate Technology®, LLC, Barracuda 18LP™ disc drives. Barracuda 18LP drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 (Fast-20 and Fast-40) interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 77738479) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives.
Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4. Standards The Barracuda 18LP family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Man- ual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 77738479 (Vol. 2).
Barracuda 18LP family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (vol- ume 2), part number 77738479, 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).
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Standard features The Barracuda 18LP family has the following standard features: • Integrated SCSI controller • SCSI multimode single-ended or low voltage differential drivers and receivers • 8 bit or 16 bit I/O data bus models available •...
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 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 read capacities data. Total LBAs = read capacity data shown below +1.

Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 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”...
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 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.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 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 8.4). Seek Errors Less than 10 in 10 seeks Read Error Rates [1] Recovered Data...
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 5.1.4 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. There shall be no more than ten recoverable seek errors in 10 physical seek operations.
Case 4 Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Barracuda 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.

Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Shipping When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used. Keep your original box. They are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved con- tainer voids the drive warranty.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Barracuda 18LP 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.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 6.2.1 Conducted noise immunity Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 MHz. Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak to peak measurements and apply at the drive power con- nector.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Power dissipation To obtain drive typical operating random read (8 blocks) power dissipation at nominal voltages, refer to Figures 3c and 3d. The drive user can decide for themselves what number of I/O operations constitutes a typical num- ber of I/O operations for their installation.

Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E 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).

Drive can operate on the interface in low voltage differential mode or single-ended, depending on the voltage state of the I/O “DIFFSNS” line. Default is no jumper on. Spindle starts immediately after power up—Default setting.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Forced air flow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the specified case temperatures of Table 3, Column 2, in which case the drive should be oriented, or air flow directed, so that the least amount of air flow resistance is created while providing air flow to the electronics and HDA.
Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Tech- nology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
18LP. No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be con- sidered 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, part num- ber 77738479.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E SCSI interface commands supported Table 6 following lists the SCSI interface commands that are supported in the SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 modes of the drive.

Connector contacts are on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) centers.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Electrical description “LC” models use the single connection attachment (SCA) connector. This 80-pin connector is designed to plug directly into a back panel or plane. No external cables are required. Active terminators on the back panel must be provided by the user.
Barracuda 18LP Product Manual, Rev. E Terminator requirements 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 10).
