Start/stop time The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
Case B—A Read command requests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of the cache: 1. The drive fetches the requested logical blocks from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and then from there to the host in accordance with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.
Page 25
When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous blocks from the disc when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur. Savvio 10K.2 SAS Product Manual, Rev.

Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all inter- face timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Read Error Rates Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data Interface error rate: Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): Annualized Failure Rate (AFR): Preventive maintenance:...
5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
5.2.4 S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs. Note.
Reporting control Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5Dxx sense code. The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles. Determining rate S.M.A.R.T.

Power dissipation ST9146802SS in 3 Gbit operation Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 3Gb operation is 5.18 watts (17.68 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 4).
Non-operating –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive. HDA Temp.
6.4.2 Relative humidity The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs. a. Operating 5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 20% per hour. b. Non-operating 5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. 6.4.3 Effective altitude (sea level) a.

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%.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.

Defect and error management Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation. SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).
Page 48
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re- read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts.
When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors. Table 14: Read and write retry count maximum recovery times Maximum recovery time per...
DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.
Installation Savvio disc drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive. SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accomodate the drive. In such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray into which you need to mount the drive.
Cooling Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in Section 6.4.1, "Temperature." The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal from the electronics and head and disc assembly (HDA).
Drive mounting Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, ensure that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm).

Interface requirements This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on Savvio drives. Additional infor- mation is provided in the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071). SAS features This section lists the SAS-specific features supported by Savvio drives. 9.1.1 task management functions Table 15 lists the SAS task management functions supported.
Dual port support Savvio SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or different SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports run at the same link rate. The first port to successfully complete speed negotiation sets the link rate support by both ports.

On drives requiring unique saved values, the required unique saved values are stored into the saved val- ues storage location on the media prior to shipping the drive. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique default values also. On standard OEM drives, the saved values are taken from the default values list and stored into the saved values storage location on the media prior to shipping.

A combination of a zero-length test load and the transmitter compliance transfer function (TCTF) test load methodology is used for the specification of transmitter characteristics. This methodology specifies the trans- mitter signal at the test points on the required test loads. The transmitter uses the same settings (e.g., pre- emphasis, voltage swing) with both the zero-length test load and the TCTF test load.
