  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate ® Barracuda XT model drives: ST32000641AS These drives provide the following key features: • The SATA 6Gb/s interface enables the use of the industry’s newest and fastest hard drive controllers while providing backward compatibility to legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s systems.

  • Page 8: About The Serial Ata Interface

    About the Serial ATA interface The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advan- tages include: • Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.

  • Page 9: Drive Specifications

    Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For con- venience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate the following drive models: ST32000641AS The specification summaries listed in the following tables are for quick reference. For details on specification measure- ment or definition, see the appropriate section of this manual.
  • Page 10 To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page: support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp 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. The system will display the war- ranty information for your drive.

  • Page 11: Formatted Capacity

    Formatted capacity Formatted Model capacity* ST32000641AS 2000GB *One Gbyte equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment and formatting. 2.1.1 LBA mode When addressing these drives in LBA mode, all blocks (sectors) are consecutively numbered from 0 to n–1, where n is the number of guaranteed sectors as defined above.

  • Page 13: Power Specifications

    Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 1 on page 17. 2.6.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an aver- age of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

  • Page 15: Conducted Noise

    2.6.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12V line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5V line. • Using 12-V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz.

  • Page 16: Environmental Specifications

    Environmental specifications 2.7.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 69°C (156°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Operating: 0° to 60°C (32° to 140°F) Nonoperating: * –40°...

  • Page 17: Shock

    2.7.5 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. 2.7.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2ms during read operations.

  • Page 18: Acoustics

    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 audi- bility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

  • Page 19: Warranty

    EN55024. 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. The drive is designed for operation inside a properly designed enclosure, with properly shielded I/O cable (if necessary) and terminators on all unused I/O ports.

  • Page 20: Fcc Verification

    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.

  • Page 21: Environmental Protection

    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 damag- ing.

  • Page 23: Configuring The Drive

    Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. 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”...
