1.1
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 jumpers or other con-
figuration options.
• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
• Scalability to higher performance levels.
The Serial ATA interface connects each drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. 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”
on two separate ports.
Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on
separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave)
accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment man-
ages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.
The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward
compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data
transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.
The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred
to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how
Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The

Peak performance is defined as the typical best case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the
product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.
Sustained performance is defined as the typical worst case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the
product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.
Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in values different than those stated
in this specification. Some discrepancies can be caused by bandwidth limitations in the host adapter, operating system, or
driver limitations. It is not the intent of this manual to cover all possible causes of performance discrepancies.
When evaluating performance of SSD devices, it is recommended to measure performance of the device in a method that
resembles the targeted application using real world data and workloads. Test time should also be adequately large to ensure
that sustainable metrics and measures are obtained.

POWER SPECIFICATIONS
2.7.1 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.
• Startup power
Startup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive reaches operating condition and can pro-
cess media access commands.
• Peak operating mode
During peak operating mode, the drive is tested in various read and write access patterns to simulate the worst-case
power consumption.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measured with the drive powered up and ready for media access commands, with no media access
commands having been received from the host.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but not be able to immediately access the media because the drive
electronics are in a partial power-down mode.

[1] As NAND Flash devices age with use, the capability of the media to retain a programmed value begins to
deteriorate. This deterioration is affected by the number of times a particular memory cell is programmed
and subsequently erased. When a device is new, it has a powered off data retention capability of up to ten
years. With use the retention capability of the device is reduced. Temperature also has an effect on how long
a Flash component can retain its programmed value with power removed. At high temperature the retention
capabilities of the device are reduced. Data retention is not an issue with power applied to the SSD. The
SSD drive contains firmware and hardware features that can monitor and refresh memory cells when power
is applied.
[2] Usage Based Warranty: This warranty is based on the shorter of term and endurance usage of the drive:
36 months or 76 (max capacity) TBW whichever comes first.

Radio and television interference. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are encouraged to try one or more of
the following corrective measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.
If necessary, you should consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You
may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-Television Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government

2.12 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting
certain chemical substances.
2.12.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances,
including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This
drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive.
2.12.2 China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains
information mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic
Information Products" Standard.
"O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower than the
threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.
"X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the threshold
defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.
2.13 CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial
environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this
accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use caution exposing any
electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability
can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, 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%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such
as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any
electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

3.0 CONFIGURING AND MOUNTING THE DRIVE
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.
3.1
HANDLING AND STATIC-DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD)
hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a
computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.
• The drive is fragile—handle it with care.
• Always rest the drive on an antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer.
• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty.
Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive.
3.2
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” on two separate
ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.
Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation. If you connect the drive and receive a “drive not detected” error, your
SATA equipped motherboard or host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA 6.0Gb speed autonegotiation.
You will need to install a SATA host adapter that supports autonegotiation.
3.3
SERIAL ATA CABLES AND CONNECTORS
The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable
size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 inches). See Table 6 for connector pin definitions.
Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.
For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host
receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable.

3.4
DRIVE MOUNTING
You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-
mounting holes. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling as a guideline.
• Use only M3 x 0.5 metric mounting screws.
• Four (4) threads (0.080 in) minimum screw engagement recommended. Also ensure maximum screw length does not bot-
tom out in mounting holes.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.5 in-lb, ± 0.45 in-lb).

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 interrupt. 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. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:

4.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined
drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T.
makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes
the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-8 Standard.
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4 ) that eliminates
H
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.

Note. If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x04 (abort) is written
to the Error register.
4.3.4 SSD Percentage Endurance Remaining Indicator
An application can interrogate the drive through the host to determine an estimate of the percentage of device life that is
remaining. Seagate SeaTools diagnostic software has the capability to report the indicator value.
