1.0 Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following: Seagate® IronWolf® Serial ATA model drives::
5xxE Standard models ST10000VN000 ST8000VN004

These drives provide the following key features: · 7200 RPM spindle speed. · Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention. · High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second). · Native Command Queuing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications. · Perpendicular recording technology provides the drives with increased areal density. · PowerChoiceTM for selectable power savings · Recovery Services support for 3-years · SeaToolsTM diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. · State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms. · Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting. · Supports latching SATA cables and connectors. · Tarnish-resistant components to help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability. · Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.

Note

Seagate recommends validating the configuration with the selected HBA/ RAID controller manufacturer to ensure use of full capacity is supported.

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.

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 www.serialata.org.

2.5.2 Conducted noise
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 V line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5V line. · Using 12V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to
10MHz. · Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to
10MHz.

Note

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

2.5.4 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoiceTM
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 Idle_a Idle_b Idle_c Standby_z

Power Condition ID
81H 82H 83H 00H

Description Reduced electronics Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM 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 Idle_a Idle_b Idle_c Standby_z

2.7 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

)

3.2 bels (typ) 3.4 bels (max)

* 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.

2.8 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.

2.9 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:

2.10 Reliability

2.10.1 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 <= 40°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.

600,000 cycles
Maximum rate of <180TB/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). 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/. From this page, click on the "Is my Drive under Warranty" link. The following are required to be provided: the drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase. The system will display the warranty information for the drive. None required.

For the latest regulatory and compliance information see: www.seagate.com/support/ scroll down the page to the Compliance, Safety and Disposal Guide link.

2.11.1 Regulatory models The following regulatory model number represent all features and configurations within the series: Regulatory Model Numbers: STL018

2.12 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 hard disk drives are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. 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.
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous contamination should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.

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 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 and contamination.

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.

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 in). See Table 5 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA

signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.

Signal cable

Signal connector Power connector

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 illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2.

3.4 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). 3.4.1 Mechanical specifications

Refer to Figure 3 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See Section 3.4, "Drive mounting."

4.3.1 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 6 on page 23. 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 6 for default parameter settings.

The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.

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

Table 8 Set Features command values

02H

Enable write cache (default).

03H

Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).

Sector Count register values:

00H Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2).

01H Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2).

4.3.3 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: 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 9 S.M.A.R.T. commands

If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the Note command is aborted and 0x04 (abort) is written to the Error register.
