Savvio drives support the SAS Protocol to the extent described in this manual. The SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) and SCSI Commands Reference Manual (part number 100293068) describe the general SAS characteristics of these and other Seagate SAS drives. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
Section 8.3. Standards The Savvio family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. The Savvio disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 950- 95, and VDE certified to VDE 0805 and EN60950.
• External modem • Mouse Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and provide the appropriate marking for their product.

Savvio drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns. 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.

68,165,733 4102065h 2. 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.
Units shipped individually require additional protection as provided by the single unit shipping pack. Users planning single unit distribution should specify this option. • The Savvio 15K SAS Installation Guide, part number 100407741, is usually included with each standard OEM drive shipped, but extra copies may be ordered.
Full stroke Typical 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. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...

Case A—read command is received and all of the requested logical blocks are already in the cache: 1. Drive transfers the requested logical blocks to the initiator. Case B—A Read command requests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of the cache: Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
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 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
If an unrecoverable data error is detected, a MEDIUM ERROR (03h) in the Sense Key will be reported. Multiple unrecoverable data errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1 error. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of the number of errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a failed unit. DST validates the functionality of the drive at a system level. There are two test coverage options implemented in DST: 1. Extended test Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
Page 27
DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “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.

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.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitve shock not exceeding 200 Gs at a maximum duration of 0.5 msec (half sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
36 in (914 mm) 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).
Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the SAS Interface Manual. Status reporting plays a role in systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the various com- mands are discussed. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
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.
Any sectors that fail the comparison result in the invocation of a rewrite and auto-reallocation process. The process attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
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 pre- ferred mounting orientations. Savvio 15K SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
