When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different

standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage.

Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment

and other factors. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for

1.1 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.

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 www.serialata.org.

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.

During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the

SMART specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

Nonrecoverable read errors 1 sector per 1015 bits read

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR)*0.44% based on 8760 POH

Maximum Rated Workload*

Maximum rate of <550TB/year

Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the drive MTBF and impact product reliability.

The Annualized Workload Rate is in units of TB per year, or TB per 8760 power on hours. Workload Rate

= TB transferred * (8760 / recorded power on hours).

Warranty

To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page:

www.seagate.com/support/warranty-and-replacements/.

2.2Formatted capacity

* One GB equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment and formatting.

Note. LBA Counts for drive capacities greater than 8TB are calculated based upon the

SFF-8447 standard publication. ftp://ftp.seagate.com/sff/SFF-8447.PDF

2.2.1 Fast Format - logical sector size conversion

n Drive supports either 512E or 4KN logical sector size formats

n SET SECTOR CONFIGURATION EXT (B2h) command (ACS-4 Standard) quickly converts between 512 and 4096 byte logical sector

size formats

n The selected sector size change occurs immediately upon command completion

n Default shipping format is 512E

n COMMAND CHECK field value is taken from the DESCRIPTOR CHECK field in the descriptor specified by the SECTOR
