Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following Seagate Pulsar .2 model drives: ST400FM0012 ST200FM0012 ST100FM0012 These drives provide the following key features: • Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash storage. • High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB/s).
About the Serial ATA interface The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages: • Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jump- ers or other configuration options. • Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation. •...

Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+12V / +5V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 7 on page 25. 2.8.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 35°C ambient temperature.

Power dissipation 400GB models in 6Gb operation Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 6Gb operation is 3.49 watts (11.91 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random write operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 4).
100GB models in 6Gb operation Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 6Gb operation is 3.42 watts (11.67 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random write operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 6). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis.
2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Temperature Temperature is defined as the temperature of the drive case. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 60°C (140°F). Above 1000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly to 112°F (44°C) at 10,000 feet (3048 meters).
2.10.6 Vibration All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. 2.10.6.1 Operating vibration The maximum random vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document are specified below.
To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page: support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp You will be asked to provide the drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase. After submitting this information, the system will display the warranty information for your drive.
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, drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B comput- ing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules.
The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chlo- ride, 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%.
Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic dis- charge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions: Caution: •...
Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters”...
Refer to Figure 8 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 3.4, “Drive mounting.” Weight: 0.220 pounds 100 grams These dimensions conform to the Small Form Factor Standard documented in SFF-8201 and Note. SFF-8223 found at www.sffcommittee.org. Figure 8. Mounting configuration dimensions Pulsar.2 Product Manual, Rev.
Cooling Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in Section 2.10.1, "Temperature." The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide heat removal. You should confirm that ade- quate heat removal is provided using the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 2.10.1.
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”...

Supported ATA commands The following table lists Serial ATA standard commands that the drive supports. For a detailed description of the ATA commands, refer to the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment specification.

4.3.2 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 inter- rupt. 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.
