Note. Previous generations of Seagate Self-Encrypting Drive models were called Full Disk Encryption (FDE) models before a differ-  
entiation between drive-based encryption and other forms of encryption was necessary.  
Note. The Self-Encrypting Drive models indicated on the cover of this product manual have provisions for “Security of Data at Rest”  
based on the standards defined by the Trusted Computing Group (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).  
For more information on FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification see see Section 4.0 on page 26.  
These drives provide the following key features:  
• 7200 RPM spindle speed.  
• PowerChoice™ for selectable power savings  
• Top Cover Attached motor for excellent vibration tolerance  
• High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second).  
• Perpendicular recording technology provides the drives with increased areal density.  
• State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.  
• Native Command Queueing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.  
• Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.  
• SeaTools™ diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.  
• Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.  
• Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.  
• Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.

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  
you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work  
as normal.  
The Serial ATA interface connects each disc 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 typ-  
ical 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.

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:  
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.  
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of  
mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted values. However, due to the manner in which  
these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results  
that vary from these specifications.

POWER SPECIFICATIONS  
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 5 on page 24.  
2.8.1  
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, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.  
• Spinup power  
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.  
• Seek mode  
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or  
write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power represents the worst-case power consumption, using only random  
seeks with read or write latency time. This mode is not typical and is provided for worst-case information.  
• Read/write power and current  
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay, then a 16-sector read  
followed by a 32ms delay.  
• Operating power and current  
Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10 reads) and 20 percent  
drive idle mode.  
• Idle mode power  
Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a random track location.  
• Standby mode  
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/write electronics are in  
power-down mode.

Conducted noise  
2.8.2  
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.

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

• Active mode  
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.  
• Idle mode  
The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.  
• Standby mode  
The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive  
can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is  
established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at  
rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.  
• Sleep mode  
The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, 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 receiv-  
ing a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode with all current translation parameters intact.  
• Idle and Standby timers  
Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins counting down from  
its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to  
Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is neces-  
sary.

2.8.4.1 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 you 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.

Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)  
Idle_c  
Standby_z  
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 custom-  
ized 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

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.

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.

2.9  
ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS  
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and  
atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).  
2.9.1  
a. Operating  
The drive meets the operating specifications over a 41°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C) drive case temperature range with a maximum tem-  
Temperature  
perature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.  
The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 60°C. See Figure 4 for HDA case temperature measurement location  
The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal case temperature. The rated  
MTBF is based upon a sustained case temperature of 104°F (40°C). Occasional excursions in operating temperature between the  
rated MTBF temperature and the maximum drive operating case temperature may occur without impact to the rated MTBF. However,  
continual or sustained operation at case temperatures beyond the rated MTBF temperature will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce  
product reliability.  
Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal case temperature values (see Section 3.4). To confirm that the required cooling  
is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform random write/read operations.  
After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case temperature of the drive.  
b. Non-operating  
–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the  
drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive.

2.10 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 equa-  
tion:  
(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time)

2.11 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.  
2.12 ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY

2.15 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION  
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical  
substances.  
2.15.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive  
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical  
substances. A new law, 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.  
2.15.2 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.  
2.16 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.

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.  
• 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 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. 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 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, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 5.

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. See  
Figure 6 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 0.150 in (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.  
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).

4.0 ABOUT FIPS  
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. Government Computer Security Standard used to  
accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled 'Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS PUB 140-2)' and is issued by the  
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).  
Purpose  
This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system  
protecting sensitive but unclassified information. The standard provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security: Level 1, Level 2,  
Level 3 and Level 4. These levels are intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and environments in which cryptographic  
modules may be employed.  
Seagate Enterprise SEDs  
The SEDs referenced in this Product Manual have been validated by CMVP and have been thoroughly tested by a NVLAP accredited lab  
to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. In order to operate in FIPS Approved Mode of Operation, these SEDs require security  
initialization. For more information, refer to 'Security Rules' section in the 'Security Policy' document uploaded on the NIST website. To  
reference the product certification visit - http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401vend.htm and search for "Seagate".  
Level 2 security  
Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the requirement for  
tamper-evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the module. Tamper-evident coatings  
or seals are placed on a cryptographic module so that the coating or seal must be broken to attain physical access to the critical security  
parameters (CSP) within the module. Tamper-evident seals are placed on covers to protect against unauthorized physical access. In  
addition Security Level 2 requires, at a minimum, role-based authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the  
authorization of an operator to assume a specific role and perform a corresponding set of services.

ABOUT SELF-ENCRYPTING DRIVES  
Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly known as “protection of  
data at rest.” These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise Storage Specifications as detailed in Section  
2.17.  
The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer, storage and digital  
communications industry. Seagate’s SED models comply with the standards published by the TCG.  
To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two ATA commands:  
• Trusted Send  
• Trusted Receive  
These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.  
5.1  
DATA ENCRYPTION  
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each port, employing AES-256 data encryption in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)  
mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The encryption engines are  
always in operation and cannot be disabled.  
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is inaccessible to  
the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary storage (DRAM) external to  
the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data bands (see Section 5.5).  
5.2  
CONTROLLED ACCESS  
The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive security  
services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the requester is  
authorized to perform the command.  
5.2.1  
Admin SP  
The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 5.4). Access to the Admin SP is  
available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.  
5.2.2  
Locking SP  
The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is available using  
the BandMasterX or EraseMaster passwords. Since the drive owner can define up to 16 data bands on the drive, each data band has its  
own password called BandMasterX where X is the number of the data band (0 through 15).  
5.2.3  
Default password  
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be read by the  
host electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default MSID password as the  
authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.  
5.3  
RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR (RNG)  
The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide random numbers to the  
host for system use, including using these numbers as Authentication Keys (passwords) for the drive’s Admin and Locking SPs.

5.4  
DRIVE LOCKING  
In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 5.2.3, the owner should also set the data access controls for the individual  
bands. The variable "LockOnReset" should be set to "PowerCycle" to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. In addition  
"ReadLockEnabled" and "WriteLockEnabled" must be set to true in the locking table in order for the bands "LockOnReset" setting of  
"PowerCycle" to actually lock access to the band when a "PowerCycle" event occurs. This scenario occurs if the drive is removed from its  
cabinet. The drive will not honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been unlocked. This prevents the user data from  
being accessed without the appropriate credentials when the drive has been removed from its cabinet and installed in another system.  
When the drive is shipped from the factory, the firmware download port is unlocked.  
5.5  
DATA BANDS  
When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (also known as the Global Data Band) which  
comprises LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate Band1 by specifying a start LBA and an LBA range. The real estate for this  
band is taken from the Global Band. An additional 14 Data Bands may be defined in a similar way (Band2 through Band15) but before  
these bands can be allocated LBA space, they must first be individually enabled using the EraseMaster password.  
Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one band ending at LBA (x) and the next beginning at LBA (x+1).  
Each data band has its own drive-generated encryption key and its own user-supplied password. The host may change the Encryption Key  
(see Section 5.6) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4K LBA boundaries.  
5.6  
CRYPTOGRAPHIC ERASE  
A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the data  
encryption key for a particular band. Once changed, the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and will be read  
using a different key. Since the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes, the user data can  
never be recovered. This is tantamount to an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be scrapped or redispositioned.  
5.7  
AUTHENTICATED FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD  
In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts download files  
which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.  
Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:  
1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.  
2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.  
3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable to the  
correct drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.  
5.8  
POWER REQUIREMENTS  
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive  
controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 30mA and  
a commensurate increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply. See the tables in  
Section 2.8 for power requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.  
5.9  
SUPPORTED COMMANDS  
The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED) models as listed  
in Table 9:  
• Trusted Send (5Eh) or Trusted Send DMA (5Fh)  
• Trusted Receive (5Ch) or Trusted Receive DMA (5Dh)

5.10 REVERTSP  
SED models will support the RevertSP feature which erases all data in all bands on the device and returns the contents of all SPs (Security  
Providers) on the device to their original factory state. In order to execute the RevertSP method the unique PSID (Physical Secure ID)  
printed on the drive label must be provided. PSID is not electronically accessible and can only be manually read from the drive label or  
scanned in via the 2D barcode.  
5.11 ATA SECURITY ERASE UNIT COMMAND ON SED SATA DRIVES  
The ATA SECURITY ERASE UNIT command shall support both the Normal and Enhanced erase modes with the following modifications/  
additions:  
• Normal Erase: Normal erase shall be accomplished by changing the media encryption key for the drive followed by an overwrite opera-  
tion that repeatedly writes a single sector containing random data to the entire drive. The write operation shall bypass the media encryp-  
tion. On reading back the overwritten sectors, the host will receive a decrypted version, using the new encryption key, of the random  
data sector (the returned data will not match what was written).  
• Enhanced Erase: Enhanced erase shall be accomplished by changing the media encryption key for the drive.  
5.12 SANITIZE DEVICE - CRYPTO SCRAMBLE EXT  
This command cryptographically erases all user data on the drive by destroying the current data encryption key and replacing it with a new  
data encryption key randomly generated by the drive. Sanitize Device is a command field B4h and Feature field 0011h (CRYPTO  
SCRAMBLE EXT).  
The drive shall support the Sanitize Feature Set as defined in ANSI/INCITS ACS-2 with the exceptions and/or modifications described in  
this section.  
The drive shall not support the OVERWRITE EXT and BLOCK ERASE EXT sub-commands.  
Support of the SANITIZE FREEZE LOCK EXT command shall be determined on a customer-specific basis. OEM drives shall support the  
command.

6.0 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.  
6.1  
HOT-PLUG COMPATIBILITY  
Constellation ES Serial ATA drives incorporate connectors which enable you to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA  
Revision 2.6 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.  
Caution:  
The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 2.7)  
prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

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.

S.M.A.R.T. commands  
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disc 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 D4 ) that eliminates unnecessary drive  
H
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. 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.
