Seagate SkyHawk Product Manual, Rev. J 7
www.seagate.com Introduction
1.1 About the SATA interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) 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, SATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. SATA was designed to allow
users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as
normal.
The SATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the SATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship with SATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one SATA 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 SATA 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 SATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the
Shadow Register Block. All SATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how SATA emulates parallel
ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.2”. The specification can be downloaded from
www.sata-io.org.
Note
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two
devices on separate SATA 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 SATA environment.

2.5 Start/stop times
The start/stop times listed below are for all models.
Time-to-ready may be longer than normal if the drive power is removed without going through normal OS powerdown
procedures.
2.6 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 2 on page 25.
2.6.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 6. 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.
• 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 32-ms 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.

www.seagate.com Drive Specifications
2.6.5 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:
•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 disk 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 disk 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 receiving 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 disk access is necessary.
2.7 Environmental specifications
This section provides the temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration specifications for NAS HDDs. This section provides the
temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration specifications.
2.7.1 Drive case temperature

All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the drive mounting
screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. Throughput may vary if improperly mounted.
2.7.7.1 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document
are specified below.
2.7.7.2 Non-operating vibration
The maximum non-operating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in
performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below.
2.8 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.
*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.
2.8.1 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 Table 8.
2.10 Reliability - Mean Time Between Failure
The product will achieve a Mean Time Between Failure Rate (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours when operated in an environment of
ambient air temperatures of 25°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications shown in Section 2.7 may decrease the
product MTBF. MTBF is a population statistic that is not relevant to individual units.
• MTBF specifications are based on the following assumptions for NAS environments:
• 8760 power-on hours per year
•10,000 average motor start/stop cycles per year
•Operations at nominal voltages
•Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.7 may reduce the product reliability.
Operation at excessive I/O duty cycle may degrade product reliability. The NAS environment of power-on hours, temperature, and
I/O duty cycle affect the product MTBF. The MTBF will be degraded if used in an enterprise application.
2.10.1 Storage
Maximum storage periods are 180 days within original unopened Seagate shipping package or 60 days unpackaged within the
defined non-operating limits (refer to environmental section in this manual). Storage can be extended to 1 year packaged or
unpackaged under optimal environmental conditions (25°C, <40% relative humidity non-condensing, and non-corrosive
environment). During any storage period the drive non-operational temperature, humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions,
shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field specifications should be followed.

2.13.4 Taiwan Requirements — Taiwan RoHS
Taiwan RoHS refers to the Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection’s (BSMI) requirements in standard CNS 15663,
Guidance to reduction of the restricted chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Seagate products must comply
with the “Marking of presence” requirements in Section 5 of CNS 15663, effective January 1, 2018. This product is Taiwan RoHS
compliant.
The following table meets the Section 5 “Marking of presence” requirements.
2.14 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.
