Introduction ® This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate Surveillance HDD model drives: ST8000VX000 ST6000VX000 These drives provide the following key features: • Host aware firmware designed to function using ZAC command set • Reliability for 24×7 video surveillance applications •...
ZONE EXT to Open, Close, and Finish zones. To achieve optimal performance, an SMR-aware Host driver will need to write sequentially to all sequential write referred zones. See the T13 Web Site at http://www.t13.org for ACS-4, T13/BSR INCIT 529 for command details. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...

** One GB equals one billion bytes and 1TB equals one trillion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment 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. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
20 (typical) / 25 (max) Ready to spindle stop (in seconds) 15 (typical) / 20 (max) Time-to-ready may be longer than normal if the drive power is removed without going through normal OS powerdown procedures. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
• 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 10MHz. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current. Note Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Above 1000ft. (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 ft. Drive case temperature should be measured at the location indicated in Figure 2 Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation is 300 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock pulse of 2ms duration. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) 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.
(or part number) and country of purchase. The system will display the warranty information for the drive. 2.13 Agency certification 2.13.1 Safety certification These products are certified to meet the requirements of UL60950-1, CSA60950-1 and EN60950 and so marked as to the certify agency. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate 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 silver, 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.
For installations which require cables, users can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 1 Figure 1 Attaching SATA cabling Signal connector Power connector Signal cable Power cable Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Surveillance HDD drives support latching SATA connectors. Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 inch (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes. • Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb). Figure 2 Mounting dimensions (8TB & 6TB) Seagate Surveillance HDD Product Manual, Rev. C...
For detailed information about the SATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. Hot-Plug compatibility Seagate Surveillance HDD drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the SATA Revision 3.0 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org. SATA device plug connector pin definitions Table 5 summarizes the signals on the SATA interface and power connectors.
