About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface.

The primary advantages include:

Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.
Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
Scalability to higher performance levels.

In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow users to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as normal.
The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. 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. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

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 manages 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 specification can be downloaded from https://www.serialata.org

Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoice
Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for reduced power consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from highest power consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time) as follows: Idle_a power >= Idle_b power >= Idle_c power >= Standby_z power. The further users go down in the table, the more power savings is actualized. For example, Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Power Condition Name	Power Condition ID	Description
Idle_a	81H	Reduced electronics
Idle_b	82H	Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM
Idle_c	83H	Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM
Standby_z	00H	Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and saved settings persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time of manufacture, the default, saved and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer values may be customized and enabled using the Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the standardized Set Features command interface.
Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power Condition" subcommand to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Immediate and Idle Immediate also provide a method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)
Power on reset

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command
- Reports the current power state of the drive
Identify Device Command
- EPC Feature set supported flag
- EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled
Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition
- Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active
- If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable
- Default enabled state, and timer value
- Saved enabled state, and timer value
- Current enabled state, and timer value

S.M.A.R.T. Read Data Reports

Attribute 192 - Emergency Retract Count
Attribute 193 - Load/Unload Cycle Count

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

Default power condition timer values have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A minimum timer value threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive maintenance activities occur. Attempting to set a timer values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer" subcommand.

Power Condition Name	Manufacturer Default Timer Values
Idle_a	100 ms
Idle_b	2 min
Idle_c	4 min
Standby_z	15 min

Setting power condition timer values less than the manufacturer specified defaults or issuing the EPC "Go to Power Condition" subcommand at a rate exceeding the default timers may limit this products reliability and data integrity.

Acoustics

Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All measurements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.

NOTE

For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined by the following equation:
(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

Electromagnetic immunity

When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:

Reliability

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.87% (MTBF of 1,000,000 hours) over a 5 year service life when used in Enterprise Storage field conditions as limited by the following:

8760 power-on hours per year.
HDA temperature as reported by the drive <= 30°C
Ambient wet bulb temp <= 26°C
Typical workload
The AFR (MTBF) is a population statistic not relevant to individual units
ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards (as measured at the device)

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal drive temperature and humidity. Occasional excursions in operating conditions between the rated MTBF conditions and the maximum drive operating conditions may occur without significant impact to the rated MTBF. However continual or sustained operation beyond the rated MTBF conditions will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

Nonrecoverable read errors	1 per 1015 bits read,max

Description

The Seagate IronWolf Standard 512E ST14000VN0008 is built with the demands of NAS environments in mind. It boasts a robust design that ensures durability and reliability over extended periods of use. The drive's Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help mitigate the effects of vibration in multi-drive environments, ensuring consistent performance and reducing the risk of drive failure.

Additionally, the drive features Seagate's AgileArray technology, which includes optimized power management and advanced error correction algorithms to enhance overall system reliability.

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 discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground oneself 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.
Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.
The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.
Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until mounting 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. Other labels are used to seal out dirt an d contamination.

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 tw o separate ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

Serial ATA cables and connectors

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus thre e ground connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in).
See Table 8 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 direc t connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable.
For installations which require cables, users can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 2.

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. IronWolf SATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

Drive mounting

Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 in (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).

Mechanical specifications
Refer to Figure 3 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 3.4, “Drive mounting.”

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” specification.
Hot-Plug compatibility
IronWolf SATA drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA Revision 3.3 specification. This specification can be downloaded from https://www.serialata.org
Caution: The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 2.4) prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

Notes:

All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27mm (0.050”) pitch.
The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are:
- the ground pins P4 and P12.
- the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins.
- the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.
There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for pre-charge when installed in a blind-mate backplane configuration.
All used voltage pins (Vx) must be terminated.

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. See “S.M.A.R.T. commands” on page 50 for details and subcommands used in the S.M.A.R.T. implementation.

Identify Device command

The Identify Device command (command code ECH) transfers information about the drive to the host following power up. The data is organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in Table 9 on page 27. All reserved bits or words should be set to zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive. see Section 2.0 on page 7for default parameter settings. The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification..

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:

Table 13 Set Features command values

Command Code	Description
02H	Enable write cache (default).
03H	Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).
00H	Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2).
01H	Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2).
08H	PIO mode 0
09H	PIO mode 1
0AH	PIO mode 2
0BH	PIO mode 3
0CH	PIO mode 4 (default)
20H	Multiword DMA mode 0
21H	Multiword DMA mode 1
22H	Multiword DMA mode 2
40H	Ultra DMA mode 0
41H	Ultra DMA mode 1
42H	Ultra DMA mode 2
43H	Ultra DMA mode 3
44H	Ultra DMA mode 4
45H	Ultra DMA mode 5
46H	Ultra DMA mode 6
10H	Enable use of SATA features
55H	Disable read look-ahead (read cache) feature.
82H	Disable write cache
90H	Disable use of SATA features
AAH	Enable read look-ahead (read cache) feature (default).
F1H	Report full capacity available

NOTE At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as indicated above.

S.M.A.R.T. commands
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk 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-5 Standard.
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4H) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users 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.

Table 14 S.M.A.R.T. commands

Code in features register	S.M.A.R.T. command
D0H	S.M.A.R.T. ReadData
D2H	S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave
D3H	S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values
D4H	S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (runs DST)
D5H	S.M.A.R.T. Read Log Sector
D6H	S.M.A.R.T. Write Log Sector
D8H	S.M.A.R.T. EnableOperations
D9H	S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations
DAH	S.M.A.R.T. Return Status

NOTE If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x 04 (abort) is written to the Error register.

Troubleshooting

Common issues with the Seagate IronWolf Standard 512E ST14000VN0008 may include:
