• SATA 6Gb/s interface for trusted drop-in system compatibility. • Seagate brings over 30 years of trusted storage reliability to the growing need for online long-term storage. • SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.
SATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 Note (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical SATA environment. Seagate Archive HDD Product Manual, Rev. A...

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.
2.11.2 Storage Maximum storage periods are 180 days within original unopened Seagate shipping package or 60 days unpackaged within the defined non-operating limits (refer to environmental section in this manual). Storage can be extended to 1 year packaged or unpackaged under optimal environmental conditions (25°C, <40% relative humidity non-condensing, and...
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 2 Figure 2 Attaching SATA cabling Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Archive HDD drives support latching SATA connectors. Seagate Archive HDD Product Manual, Rev. A...
