Seek time Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications below are defined as follows: • Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions. •...
Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+3.3V or +5V) through the CompactFlash interface connector for ST650211CF and ST625211CF models, and (+3.3V only) through the Flex interface connector for ST650211FX and ST625211FX models. 2.9.1 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, using +3.3V and +5.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient...

2.9.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 20 MHz.
2.9.4 Power-management modes The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. The drive features the following power-management modes: Table 3: Power management modes Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer Active (operating) Tracking Rotating Enabled Idle, low power Parked Rotating Disabled Standby/Sleep...
2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 70°C (158°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 feet. Operating 0°...
2.10.5 Shock All shock measurements in this section are carried out at drive level. For all linear shock test, Operating or Non-Operating, the input shock level shall be measured at the frame of the disk drive at the specific location indicated by the red ellipse in Figure 4 below for the CF and interface drives.
2.10.6 Vibration All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely in a fixture that do not have fixture reso- nances in the frequency test range. The input vibration is applied through the disk drive guide rails of the device under test.
Page 25
2.10.6.4 Operating Random Vibration The test consists of 15 minutes of random vibration using the power spectral density (PSD) levels specified in the table below. The vibration test level is 3.01Gs RMS. The drive will not incur any physical damage when subsequently put into operation.
2.11 Acoustics Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). Discrete tone penalties are added to the A-weighted sound power (LW) with the following formula only when determin- ing compliance: LWt(spec) == LW + 0.1Pt + 0.3 < 4.0 (Bels) where LW = A-weighted sound power level pt == Value of discrete tone penalty [==dLt-6.0 (dBA)]...
2.13 Reliability Measurement type Specification Nonrecoverable read errors 1 per 10 bits read, max. Mean time between failures 100,000 power-on hours At nominal power, 40°C ambient temperature. Max case temperature: 60°C at the case measurement location shown in Figure 6 and 7.
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.

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. Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.
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: •...
interface description These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports 16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–2. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers. For detailed information about the CompactFlash interface, refer to CF+ and CompactFlash Spec Rev 2.0.

4.1.4 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 feature enabled and write caching feature disabled.
