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 t o 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/slav e 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 tw o 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/slav e 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 Shado w Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer t o the Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA (Revision 2.6). The specification can be downloaded from https://www.serialata.org

Seek time

Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:

Average seek time is determined by averaging the time to complete 1,000 seeks of random length.
Average latency is the time required for the drive to rotate 1/2 of a revolution and on average is incurred after a seek completion prior to reading or writing user data.
Startup time is the time elapsed between the supply voltages reaching operating range and the drive being ready to accept all commands.
Actual rotational speed can be different a little.
Performance specification is limited to the room temperature & normal voltage condition.

Table 2: Typical seek times

Typical seek times (ms)	Read/Write
Average	14.0/14.0
Average latency	5.6

Note
Seek time is defined as the time from the receipt of a read, write or seek comman d until the actuator has repositioned and settled on the desired track with the drive operating at nominal DC input voltages and nominal operating temperature.

Start/stop times

Capacity	5TB and 4TB models
Typical seek times (ms)	Typical
Power-on to ready (sec)	7.5
Standby to ready (sec)	6.5

Power Specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector (refer to1).

Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table in Table 4. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, unde r nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. These power measurements are done with DIPM enabled.

Spinup current is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
Read/Write current is measured with the heads on track, based on three 64 sector read or write operations every 100 ms.
The drive supports two idle modes: Active Idle mode and Low Power Idle mode. Refer to Section 2.8.4 for power-management modes.

Table 4: DC Power Requirements

Power Dissipation	All models +5V input average (25° C)
Spinup (max)	1.2A
Write average	2.40W
Read average	2.40W
Idle, low power mode	1.45W
Standby¹	0.18W
Sleep	0.18W

Standby power is measured at steady state (after 200ms from transition)

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.

Note

Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

Supply Voltage

Allowable voltage	5V ± 5%
Allowable noise/ripple	100 mV p-p max, 0-30 MHz
Allowable supply rise time	1-100 ms
Allowable supply fall time	<5 s

Power-management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, users can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:

Power modes	Heads	Spindle	Electronics
Active	Tracking	Rotating	Full Power
Idle, Active	Floating	Rotating	Partial Power
Idle, Low Power	Parked	Rotating	Partial Power
Standby	Parked	Stopped	Low Power
Sleep	Parked	Stopped	Low Power

Active mode
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.
Idle mode
The electronics remain powered, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.
Standby mode
The drive enters Standby mode immediately when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standb y timer, the drive enters Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time. The standb y timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the electronics are in low power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary.
Sleep mode
The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the electronics are in low power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode.

Environmental Specifications

This section provides the temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration specifications for Seagate BarraCuda drives. Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive.

Acoustics

Drive emission of sound is measured consistent with the ECMA-74 and its referenced standards. Testing is conducted at room temperature (approximately 25°C). Emission levels are reported as the total A-weighted sound power levers for steady state, idle, and active seeks modes of operation.

Table 6: Drive A-weighted Sound Power Levels (SWL, BA)

	Idle1	Performance Seek
5-disk models	2.7 bels (typ)	2.9 bels (typ)
4-disk models	2.6 bels (typ)	2.7 bels (typ)

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 the lower limit for the threshold curve* 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.

Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies

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) environment as defined in Table 7.

Warranty	To determine the warranty fora specific drive, use a web browser to access thefollowing web page: http://www.seagate.com/support/warranty-and-replacements/. From this page,click on the “Is my Drive under Warranty” link.The following are required to be provided: the driveserial number, modelnumber (or partnumber) and countryof purchase. The system will display the warranty information for the drive.

Data loss under power interruption with write cache enabled
Drive preserves its data during all operations except in cases where power to the drive is interrupted during write operations. This could result in either an uncorrected data error being reported, or the entire sector/track becoming unreadable. This can be permanently recovered by rewriting to the same location on the drive. Additionally any data present in the DRAM buffer will not be written to the disk media, additionally, the drive will not be able to return the original data. In order to prevent this data loss, the host should issue a standby immediate or flush cache command before a controlled power off operation to the drive.

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.

Unpacking, Configuring and Mounting the Drive

This chapter describes how to unpack, mount, configure and connect a BarraCuda. It also describes how to install the drive in systems.

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

Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until ready for installation to limit the drive’s exposure to ESD.
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 entir e 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 and contamination.

Configuring the Drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. 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 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 2 6 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). Refer to 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 direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable. For installations which require cables, users can connect the drive as shown in1.
Figure 1 Attaching SATA Cabling

attaching_sata_cabling_seagate_barracuda_internal_hard_drive_st5000lm000-2u8170.png

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. BarraCuda 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. Refer to2 and Figure 2 for drive mounting dimensions. 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.
Use only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws.
Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb (0.4519 N-m).
Four (4) threads (0.080 in, 2.032 mm) minimum screw engagement recommended.
Avoid excessive drive distortion when mounting. Refer to the following specifications for stiffness/deflection information:

Top cover stiffness/deflection
Operating: no performance degradation, emitted noise, mechanical damage,or hard errors	10 mm probe: 2.0kgf (typical)
Non-operating: no hard errors	10 mm probe: maximum 2.0kgf (instantaneous)

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 10. 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. Refer to Drive Specifications Summary on page 7 for default parameter settings.
The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.

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. Th e 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 thi s feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
Table 13 S.M.A.R.T. Commands

Setup Guide

Power down your computer before installation.
Locate an available SATA port on your motherboard.
Connect the SATA cable to both the hard drive and the motherboard.
Secure the hard drive in a mounting bracket or bay using screws.
Power on your computer and enter the BIOS settings to detect the new drive.
Format the drive using your operating system's disk management tool.

Troubleshooting

Drive Not Detected:
- Ensure the drive is properly connected to the motherboard and power supply.
- Check BIOS settings to see if the drive is recognized.
- Try connecting the drive to a different SATA port or using a different SATA cable.
Slow Performance:
- Run a disk defragmentation tool if using Windows.
- Check for background applications that may be using disk resources.
- Ensure that the drive is not nearly full; try to keep at least 10-15% free space.
