Scope This manual describes Seagate Technology® LLC, Enterprise Performance 15K HDD and Enterprise Turbo SSHD - SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) disk drives. These 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.
• Mouse Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee that all systems w ill comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and provide the appropriate marking for their product.
(Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006. A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the representations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declara tions for all parts and materials for the disk drives documented in this publication.
General description These drives provide high performance, high capacity data stora ge for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. The Serial Attached SCSI interface is designed to meet next-generation computing deman ds for performance, scalability, flexibility and high-density storage requirements. The hybrid functionality of the 15K drive provides improved performance over standard HDDs in real-world workloads.
Standard features Enterprise Performance 15K HDD and Enterprise Turbo SSHD drives have the following standard features: • Perpendicular recording technology • 1.5 / 3 / 6 Gb Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface • Integrated dual port SAS controller supporting the SCSI protocol •...
Users having the necessary equipment may modi fy the data block size before issuing a format command and obtain different format ted capacities than those listed. To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate rec ommends product planning in one of two modes: Seagate designs capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet.
Start/stop time The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command wit h the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
4.5.1 Caching write data Note. Write caching in this section is the traditional SCSI write caching (WCE=1) where writes are not protected on power loss. Hybrid provides NVC-protected write caching when WCE=0 over a portion of the DRAM. Note. Refer to the SAS Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits." 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 t he medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Less than 10 errors in 10 seeks Read Error Rates Recovered Data Less than 10 errors in 10 bits transferred (OEM default settings) Unrecovered Data...
5.2.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) The production disk drive shall achieve an AFR of 0.44% (MTBF of 2,000,000 hours) when operated in an environment that ensures the HDA case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Secti on 6.5. Operation at case temperatures outside the specificati ons in Section 6.5 may increase the product AFR (decrease the MTBF).
Reporting control Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting meth od. For example, if the MRIE is set to one, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5D00 sense code. The FRU field contains the type of predictive failure that occurred.
“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: •...
Product repair and return information Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authoriz ed to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction any th ird-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the warranty.
Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the drive. PowerChoice power management Drives using the load/unload architecture provide programmable power management to tailor systems for performance and greater e nergy efficiency. The table below lists the supported PowerChoice modes. The further down in the table, the more power savings can be realized. For example, Idle_B mode results in greater power savings than Idle_A mode.
6.1.1 PowerChoice reporting methods PowerChoice provides these reporting methods for tracking purposes: Request Sense command reports • Current power condition • Method of entry Processing the Request Sense command does not impact the drive’s power save state. Mode Sense command reports (mode page 0x1A) •...
DC power requirements The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown below. Values indicated apply at the drive connector.

FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. In order to operate in FIPS Approved Mode of Operation, these SEDs require security initialization. For more information, refer to 'Security Rules' section in the 'Security Policy' document uploaded on the NIST website. To reference the product certification visit - http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401vend.htm, and search for “Seagate”. Security Level 2 Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the requirement for tamper-evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the module.
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.
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).

10.0 Installation Enterprise Performance 15K HDD and Enterprise Turbo SSHD disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpe rs, 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 accommodate the drive.
If forced air is determined to be necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 15. The air-flow patterns are creat ed by one or more fans, either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.5.1 are met.
