www.seagate.com Introduction Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following: Seagate® IronWolf™ Pro SATA +Rescue drive models. 512E models Standard +Rescue ST20000NE000 These drives provide the following key features: 256 MB data buffer. 7200 RPM spindle speed. ...
www.seagate.com Introduction About the Serial ATA interface The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include: Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options. Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
www.seagate.com Drive specifications Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate the IronWolf Pro SATA +Rescue drive models.

See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
www.seagate.com Serial ATA (SATA) interface Serial ATA (SATA) interface These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6. For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification.

www.seagate.com Serial ATA (SATA) interface 4.3.4 Set Features command This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted.
www.seagate.com Serial ATA (SATA) interface 4.3.5 S.M.A.R.T. commands S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor.
