Exos 2X18 drives support the SAS Protocol specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) describes the general SAS characteristics of this and other Seagate SAS drives. Product data communicated in this manual is specific only to the model numbers listed in this manual. The data listed in this manual may not be predictive of future generation specifications or requirements.

The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation. Seagate recommends validating the configuration with the selected HBA/RAID controller Note manufacturer to ensure use of full capacity is supported.
• User-selectable logical block sizes for 512E (512 bytes per logical block only) • Vertical, horizontal, or top down mounting Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Self-Encrypting Drive models have the following additional features: • 32 Independent data bands • Authenticated firmware download •...
Supported block sizes are 512 for 512 emulation drives and 4096 for 4096 native drives. To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes: Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet.

An unexpected power loss event, spin up at cold or hot temperature extremes may cause the drive to exceed the typical and max time to ready by 5 to 20 seconds. Extended time to ready is dependent on cache state and environmental conditions prior to the unexpected power loss and during the subsequent power on. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
Sending a size specification using the Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) does not set up a new segment size. If the STRICT bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the drive responds as it does for any attempt to change an unchangeable parameter. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous blocks from the disk 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. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
An interface error is defined as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the data as transmitted by the device port connected to the receiver. The error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss of word sync, or CRC error. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
Discharge the static electricity from the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system. The drive motor must come to a complete stop prior to changing the Caution plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...

“not ready” cause. While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a failed drive. A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions: •...
Shipping When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep the original box. Seagate approved containers are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty.
When the drive receives a command, all power condition timers are suspended if they were enabled via the Power Condition mode page. Once all outstanding commands are processed, the power condition timers are reinitialized to the values defined in the Power Condition mode page Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...

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. 6.6.2 Humidity The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs.
Linear Random Non-Operating Vibration The drive will not incur physical damage or have non-recoverable errors after being subjected to the power spectral density noise specified below. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous contamination should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage, and digital communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG. To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two SCSI commands: •...
In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download files which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center. Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation: The download must be an SED file.
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). In addition, Seagate provides the following technologies used to increase data integrity and drive reliability: •...
This is in contrast to the system having to use the Reassign Command to reassign a location that was unreadable and then generate a write command to rewrite the data. 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.
The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two preferred mounting orientations. Seagate Exos 2X18 SAS Product Manual, Rev. A...
