All times are measured using drive diagnostics.
Start/stop times Power-on to Ready (sec) Standby to Ready (sec) 16 (max) Ready to spindle stop (sec) 10 (max) Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V and +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 5 on page 25. 2.8.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9.
2.8.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. • Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is necessary.
2.9.5 Shock All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. 2.9.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec.
2.10 Acoustics Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All mea- surements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward. Note.
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 LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc 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.

If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled.
) that elimi- nates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://seatools.seagate.com. This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. You must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
CCTO needs to hide from reporting as an error, and simply show up in a Stream Error log. Since the Stream Error logs were intended to be used to report deferred errors such as this, Seagate has not imple- mented them.

The streaming commands may access any user LBA on a device. These commands may be interspersed with non-streaming commands, but there may be an impact on performance due to the unknown time required to complete the non-streaming commands. The streaming commands should be issued using a specified minimum number of sectors transferred per com- mand, as specified in word 95 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE response.

4.3.4.2.1 Configure Stream (51h) The Configure Stream command specifies the default CCTL (Command Completion Time Limit) for streaming commands, and informs the drive of the Allocation Unit size and alignment. Protocol: non-data Register Features Current Ignored Reserved Ignored Previous Default CCTL (7:0) Sector Count Current AU Size In Sectors (7:0)
Page 48
4.3.4.2.2 Read Stream DMA (2Ah) Protocol: DMA In This command reads from 1 to 65536 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A value of 0000h in the Sector Count register requests 65536 sectors. The RC bit indicates that the drive operate in a continuous read mode for the READ STREAM command. When RC is set to 0, the drive shall operate in normal streaming read mode.
Page 49
If the value is 0, the drive shall use the Default Command Completion Time Limit supplied with the most recent previous CONFIGURE STREAM command for this Stream type (Read or Write). If the Default Command Com- pletion Time Limit is 0, or no previous Configure Stream command was defined for this Stream type, the result is vendor specific.

CCTO (Command Completion Time Out) This bit shall be set to 1 if a Command Completion Time Out error has occurred. SECTOR COUNT REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS LBA Low/Mid/High The address of the first uncorrectable error. DEVICE REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS This field indicates the selected device. STATUS REGISTER FIELD DESCRIPTIONS This bit shall be set to 0 indicating command completion.

4.3.4.3 Write Stream DMA (3Ah) Protocol: DMA Out The Write Stream DMA command allows the host to write data using the DMA data transfer protocol. This com- mand allows for the host to specify to the device that additional actions need to be performed prior to the com- pletion of the command if the required bits are set.
Page 52
This bit specifies that all data for the specified stream shall be flushed to the media before command complete is reported. CCTL (Command Completion Time Limit) The time allowed for the current command to complete. This value is calculated as follows: CCTL = (content of the Features register Previous) * (IDENTIFY DEVICE data words (99:98)) microseconds The device shall use the Default Command Completion Time Limit supplied with the most recent previ- ous CONFIGURE STREAM command for this Stream type (Read or Write).
