Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given block size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between other drive families and from generation to genera- tion, depending on how each block size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
Options (factory installed) You may order the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options): • Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested. •...
Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal orientation as measured on a representative sample of drives. Access to data = access time + latency time. Cheetah T10 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A ST3146755SS ST373355SS 146.8 73.4 Gbytes (formatted, rounded off value)
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit and IMMED bit equal to 1 and does not receive a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive within 5 seconds, the drive fails the START STOP UNIT command. ST3146755SS ST373355SS Cheetah T10 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A 55.5 Mbytes/sec...
The START STOP UNIT command may be used to command the drive to stop the spindle. Stop time is 30 sec- onds (maximum) from removal of DC power. There is no power control switch on the drive. Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance.
4.5.1 Caching write data Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command. If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail- able for future read cache hits.
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: MTBF Preventive maintenance: Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.
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.
5.2.3 Hot plugging the drive When a disc is powered on by switching the power or hot plugged, the drive runs a self test before attempting to communicate on its’ interfaces. When the self test completes successfully, the drive initiates a Link Reset starting with OOB.
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.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. 5.2.6.1 DST failure definition The drive will present a “diagnostic failed”...

Degrees C ambient. For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching 15,000 RPM. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator. See +12V current profile in Figures 2, 3, and 4.
Power dissipation ST3300555SS in 3 Gbit operation Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 3Gb operation is 14.22 watts (48.52 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 5).
1 00.0 I/Os per Second Figure 7. ST3146755SS (3 Gbit) DC current and power vs. input/output operations per second in 1.5 Gbit operation ST3146755SS Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 1.5 Gbit operation is 10.84 watts (36.99 BTUs per hour).
in 3 Gbit operation ST373355SS Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 3Gb operation is 9.13 watts (31.15 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 5). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis.
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.
>600 cu in (>9,800 cu cm) Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or equivalent.
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 44
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.
SAS system errors Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SAS Interface Manual. The SSP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive. Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the SAS Interface Manual.
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 Cheetah 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 Cheetah 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 Cheetah drives. 9.1.1 task management functions Table 6 lists the SAS task management functions supported.
Dual port support Cheetah 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.

Recorded times are twice the transit time of the time domain reflectometer signal.
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.
