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) •...
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. ATA Security mode (available on all models documented in this manual) To operate in ATA Security mode, you only need a host system and operating system that supports the existing ATA Security Command Set.
• ATA Security is set to the unlocked state. No password is required to access the drive. Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives may be integrated into the computer system in the same way you would integrate a non-FDE Momentus drive.
*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. **Standby power is measured at steady state (after 200ms from transition) Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA Product Manual, Rev. C...

The maximum nonoperating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degrada- tion in performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below 5–500 Hz 5.0 Gs (0 to peak). Max displacement may apply below 22 Hz. Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA Product Manual, Rev. C...
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%.
Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives may be connected to any computer system that supports a standard SATA interface. You can elect to use Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives in one of two different security modes: 1. ATA Security mode (available on all models documented in this manual) To operate in ATA Security mode, you only need a host system and operating system that supports the existing ATA Security Command Set.
For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 3. SATA interface connector SATA interface cable Power cable Figure 3. Attaching SATA cabling Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA Product Manual, Rev. C Power connector...

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.
Attachment” specification. Hot-Plug compatibility Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives incorporate connectors which enable you to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment specification revision 2.0. This specifi- cation can be downloaded from http://www.serialata.org. This device requires a COMRESET from the host after a hotplug event.
In the ATA Security Interface mode, the drive conforms to the ATA Security Policy, except the following desir- able exceptions to implement the desired Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA behavior: Upon execution of the secure erase sequence, the drive will have the following behavior: •...

Choosing enhanced erase mode will simply perform the cryptographic erase described above, and return sta- tus almost immediately. This is the recommended option. To maintain consistency with the ATA Security specification, Momentus 5400 FDE.4 SATA drives provide an option to perform the Normal Erase mode.
