3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Seagate 1200 SSD drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems with a Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. The Serial Attached SCSI interface is designed to meet next-generation computing demands
for performance, scalability, flexibility and high-density storage requirements.
Seagate 1200 SSD drives are random access storage devices designed to support the Serial Attached SCSI Protocol as
described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) which
describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Seagate 1200 SSD drives are classified as intelligent peripherals
and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard. The SAS connectors, cables and electrical
interface are compatible with Serial ATA (SATA), giving future users the choice of populating their systems with either SAS or
SATA drives. This allows users to continue to leverage existing investment in SCSI while gaining a 12Gb/s serial data
transfer rate.
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).
Note. Never disassemble and do not attempt to service items in the enclosure. The drive does not contain user-
replaceable parts. Opening for any reason voids the drive warranty..

3.5
FORMATTED CAPACITIES
Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is selectable at format time. Supported block
sizes are 512, 520, 524, 528, 4096, 4160, 4192, and 4224. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data
block size before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.
To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate
recommends product planning in one of two modes:
Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will
meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with
backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current guaranteed operating points for this product
are shown below. The Capacity stated is identical when the drive is formatted with or without PI enabled.

PROGRAMMABLE DRIVE CAPACITY
Using the MODE SELECT command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the MODE
SELECT (6) parameter list table in the SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. A value of zero in the Number of
Blocks field indicates that the drive will not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number other than zero
and less than the maximum number of LBAs in the Number of Blocks field changes the total drive capacity to the value in the
Number of Blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.
3.7
FACTORY-INSTALLED OPTIONS
OEMs may order the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged
before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options):
• Other capacities can be ordered depending on LBA size requested and other factors.
• Single-unit shipping pack. The drive is normally shipped in bulk packaging to provide maximum protection against transit
damage. Units shipped individually require additional protection as provided by the single unit shipping pack. Users plan-
ning single unit distribution should specify this option.
• The Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512, is usually included with each standard OEM
drive shipped, but extra copies may be ordered.
3.8
THIN PROVISIONING
3.8.1 Logical Block Provisioning
The drive is designed with a feature called Thin Provisioning. Thin Provisioning is a technique which does not require
Logical Blocks to be associated to Physical Blocks on the storage medium until such a time as needed. The use of Thin
Provisioning is a major factor in SSD products because it reduces the amount of wear leveling and garbage collection that
must be performed. The result is an increase in the products endurance. For more details on Logical Block Provisioning and
Thin Provisioning, Reference the SBC-3 document provided by the T-10 committee.
3.8.2 Thin Provisioning capabilities
The level of Thin Provisioning support may vary by product model. Devices that support Thin Provisioning are allowed to
return a default data pattern for read requests made to Logical Blocks that have not been mapped to Physical Blocks by a
previous WRITE command.
In order to determine if Thin Provisioning is supported and what features of it are implemented requires the system to send a
READ CAPACITY 16 (9Eh) command to the drive. Thin Provisioning and the READ CAPACITY 16 (9Eh) command is
defined in the Seagate SCSI Command Reference 100293068.

Not Supported
SED
A logical block provisioning management enabled (LBPME) bit set to one indicates that the logical unit implements logical
block provisioning management. An LBPME bit set to zero indicates that the logical unit is fully provisioned and does not
implement logical block provisioning management.
A logical block provisioning read zeros (LBPRZ) bit set to one indicates that, for an unmapped LBA specified by a read
operation, the device server sends user data with all bits set to zero to the data-in buffer. An LBPRZ bit set to zero indicates
that, for an unmapped LBA specified by a read operation, the device server may send user data with all bits set to any value
to the data-in buffer.
3.8.3 UNMAP
The UNMAP command requests that the device server break the association of a specific Logical Block address from a
Physical Block, thereby freeing up the Physical Block from use and no longer requiring it to contain user data. An unmapped
block will respond to a READ command with data that is determined by the setting of the LBPRZ bit in the READ CAPACITY
parameter data.
SEAGATE 1200 SSD PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. A
8
3.8.4 FORMAT UNIT command
A device which supports Thin Provisioning will be capable of performing a SCSI FORMAT UNIT command which allocates
Logical Blocks Addresses that are not linked to Physical Block Locations. A FORMAT command will cause all LBAs to
become unmapped.
3.8.5 Protection Information (PI) and Security (SED)
The requirements in this section apply to any device which supports LBA unmapping.
In SCSI devices, umapped LBAs are defined as part of the Thin Provisioning model. Support of the Thin Provisioning model
is indicated by the LBPME bit having a value of '1' in the READ CAPACITY (16) parameter data.
When a region of LBA's are erased via cryptographic erase, as part of the erase, the drive shall unmap those LBAs.
If the host attempts to access an unmapped or trimmed LBA, the drive shall return scrambled data. For a given LBA, the data
shall be identical from access to access, until that LBA is either updated with actual data from the host or that LBA is
cryptographically erased. The drive shall report a value of '0' in the LBPRZ field returned in the READ CAPACITY (16)
parameter data.
If the host attempts to access an unmapped LBA on a drive that has been formatted with Protection Information (PI), the
drive shall return scrambled PI data for that LBA. Depending on the value of the RDPROTECT field in the data-access
command CDB, this may result in the drive returning a standard PI error to the host.
If the host reduces the addressable capacity of the drive via a MODE SELECT command, the drive shall unmap or trim any
LBA within the inaccessible region of the device.
Additionally, an UNMAP command is not permitted on a locked band.

Peak performance is defined as the typical best case performance that the product will be able to achieve when
the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.
Sustained performance is defined as the worst case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the product is
preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries. For models that support Lifetime
Endurance Management, write values also take into account the worst case performance throttling that may occur to ensure
the product meets specified reliability specifications.
Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in values different than those stated
in this specification. Some discrepancies can be caused by bandwidth limitations in the host adapter, operating system, or
driver limitations. It is not the intent of this manual to cover all possible causes of performance discrepancies.
When evaluating performance of SSD devices, it is recommended to measure performance of the device in a method that
resembles the targeted application using real world data and workloads. Test time should also be adequately large to ensure
that sustainable metrics and measures are obtained.

START/STOP TIME
The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied.
If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT
command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 10 seconds (excluding the
error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE
SPINUP) primitive, the drive waits for a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1. After receiving a
START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1, the drive waits for a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive.
After receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port, the drive becomes ready for normal operations
within 10 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit and IMMED bit equal to 1 and does not receive a
NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive within 5 seconds, the drive fails the START STOP UNIT command.
The START STOP UNIT command may be used to command the drive to stop. Stop time is 3 seconds (maximum) from
removal of DC power. SCSI stop time is 3 seconds. There is no power control switch on the drive.

CACHE CONTROL
All default cache mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive family are given in
4.4.1 Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to
the medium is stored while the drive performs the WRITE command.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceed the size of the segment being written into, when the end of the segment is
reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that was written there at the
beginning of the operation; however, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet been written to the medium.
If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return Good status on a WRITE command after the data has been
transferred into the cache, but before the data has been written to the medium. If an error occurs while writing the data to the
medium, and Good status has already been returned, a deferred error will be generated.
Data that has not been written to the medium is protected by a back up power source which provides the ability of the data to
be written to non-volatile medium in the event of an unexpected power loss.
The SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium. Upon
completion of a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command, all data received from previous WRITE commands will have been
4.4.2 Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the medium immediately beyond that which was
requested by a Read command are retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the buffer to the host on
subsequent Read commands that request those logical blocks (this is true even if cache operation is disabled). Though the
prefetch operation uses the buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in the buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation
hit.
To enable Prefetch, use Mode Select page 08h, byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch.
The drive does not use the Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) or the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).
When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous blocks from the
medium when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it decides that a prefetch hit is
not likely to occur.

1. Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.
2. As NAND Flash devices age with use, the capability of the media to retain a programmed value begins to deteriorate.
This deterioration is affected by the number of times a particular memory cell is programmed and subsequently erased.
When a device is new, it has a powered off data retention capability of up to several years. With use the retention capa-
bility of the device is reduced. Temperature also has an effect on how long a Flash component can retain its programmed
value with power removed. At high temperature the retention capabilities of the device are reduced. Data retention is
not an issue with power applied to the SSD. The SSD drive contains firmware and hardware features that can monitor
and refresh memory cells when power is applied.

load at a specified operating and storage temperature. For the specific workload to achieve this level of endurance,

5.1
ERROR RATES
The error rates stated in this manual assume the following:
• The drive is operated in accordance with this manual using DC power as defined in paragraph 6.3, "DC power require-
• Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations.
• Assume random data.
• Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write retries and full retry
time.
5.1.1 Unrecoverable Errors
An unrecoverable data error is defined as a failure of the drive to recover data from the media. These errors occur due to
read or write problems. Unrecoverable data errors are only detected during read operations, but not caused by the read. If an
unrecoverable data error is detected, a MEDIUM ERROR (03h) in the Sense Key will be reported. Multiple unrecoverable
data errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1 error.
5.1.2 Interface errors
An interface error is defined as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the data as transmitted by the device port
connected to the receiver. The error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss of word sync, or CRC
error.
5.2
ENDURANCE MANAGEMENT
Customer satisfaction with Solid State Drives can be directly related to the internal algorithms which an SSD uses to manage
the limited number of Program-Erase (PE) cycles that NAND Flash can withstand. These algorithms consist of Wearleveling,
Garbage Collection, Write Amplification, Unmap, Data Retention, Lifetime Endurance Management.
5.2.1 Wear Leveling
Wear Leveling is a technique used by the drive to ensure that all Flash cells are written to or exercised as evenly as possible
to avoid any hot spots where some cells are used up faster than other locations. Wear Leveling is automatically managed by
the drive and requires no user interaction. The Seagate algorithm is tuned to operate only when needed to ensure reliable
product operation.
5.2.2 Garbage Collection
Garbage Collection is a technique used by the drive to consolidate valid user data into a common cell range freeing up
unused or obsolete locations to be erased and used for future storage needs. Garbage Collection is automatically managed
by the drive and requires no user interaction. The Seagate algorithm is tuned to operate only when needed to ensure reliable
product operation.
5.2.3 Write Amplification
While Write Amplification is not an algorithm, it is a major characteristic of SSD's that must be accounted for by all the
algorithms that the SSD implements. The Write Amplification Factor of an SSD is defined as the ratio of Host/User data
requested to be written to the actual amount of data written by the SSD internal to account for the user data and the
housekeeping activities such as Wear Leveling and Garbage Collection. The Write Amplification Factor of an SSD can also
be directly affected by the characteristics of the host data being sent to the SSD to write. The best Write Amplification Factor
is achieved for data that is written in sequential LBA's that are aligned on 4KB boundaries. The worst case Write
Amplification Factor typically occurs for randomly written LBA's of transfer sizes that are less than 4KB and that originate on
LBA's that are not on 4KB boundaries.
5.2.4 UNMAP
A new SCSI command has been added to the SSD as part of the Thin Provisioning feature set. Use of the UNMAP
command reduces the Write Amplification Factor of the drive during housekeeping tasks such as Wear Leveling and
Garbage Collection. This is accomplished because the drive does not need to retain data which has been classified by the
host as obsolete.
SEAGATE 1200 SSD PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. A
16
5.2.5 Data Retention
Data Retention is another major characteristic of SSD's that must be accounted for by all the algorithms that the SSD
implements. While powered up, the Data Retention of SSD cells are monitored and rewritten if the cell levels decay to an
unexpected level. Data Retention when the drive is powered off is affected by Program and Erase (PE) cycles and the
temperature of the drive when stored.
5.2.6 Lifetime Endurance Management (Available on select models)
As stated in Section 5.2, an SSD has a limited number of Program and Erase (PE) cycles that are capable. In worse case
applications, the write workload could be such that the drive experiences a high Write Amplification Factor that could lead to
potential wear out prior to the drive achieving it's expected field life. Additionally, the Data Retention spec of the SSD needs
to be considered to ensure the spec is met once the drive is worn out. Seagate has implemented a Lifetime Endurance
Management technique which helps OEMS and user to avoid early wear out. By monitoring the write workload being sent to
the drive, the drive can add additional response time to WRITE commands to provide a sustainable level of performance that
is capable of being sustained for the life of the drive. Most users may never see this added response time in their
applications.
5.2.7 SSD Percentage Used Endurance Indicator
An application can interrogate the drive through the host to determine an estimate of the percentage of device life that has
been used. To accomplish this, issue a LOG SENSE command to log page 0x11. This allows applications to read the
contents of the Percentage Used Endurance Indicator parameter code. The Percentage Used Endurance Indicator is defined
in the T10 document SBC-3 available from the T10 committee.
5.3
RELIABILITY AND SERVICE
Integrators can enhance the reliability of Seagate 1200 SSD drives by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling.
5.3.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The production drive shall achieve an AFR of 0.44% (MTBF of 2,000,000 hours) when operated in an environment that
ensures the case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Section 6.5. Operation at case temperatures outside
the specifications in Section 6.5 may increase the product AFR (decrease the MTBF). The AFR (MTBF) is a population
statistic not relevant to individual units.
The AFR (MTBF) specification is based on the following assumptions for Enterprise Storage System environments:
• 8760 power-on hours per year.
• 250 average on/off cycles per year.
• Operations at nominal voltages.
• Systems will provide adequate cooling to ensure the case temperatures specified in Section 6.5 are not exceeded. Tem-
peratures outside the specifications in Section 6.5 will increase the product AFR and decrease the MTBF.
5.3.2 Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.
5.3.3 Hot plugging the drive
When a drive is powered on by switching the power or hot plugged, the drive runs a self test before attempting to
communicate on its’ interfaces. When the self test completes successfully, the drive initiates a Link Reset starting with OOB.
An attached device should respond to the link reset. If the link reset attempt fails, or any time the drive looses sync, the drive
initiated link reset. The drive will initiate link reset once per second but alternates between port A and B. Therefore each port
will attempt a link reset once per 2 seconds assuming both ports are out of sync.
If the self-test fails, the drive does not respond to link reset on the failing port.
Note. It is the responsibility of the systems integrator to assure that no temperature, energy, voltage hazard, or ESD
potential hazard is presented during the hot connect/disconnect operation. Discharge the static electricity from
the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system.
SEAGATE 1200 SSD PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. A
17
5.3.4 S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize
conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow administrators
to back up the data before an actual failure occurs.
Note. The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation over time but can’t predict instantaneous drive
failures.
Each monitored attribute has been selected to monitor a specific set of failure conditions in the operating performance of the
drive and the thresholds are optimized to minimize “false” and “failed” predictions.
Controlling S.M.A.R.T.
The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informational Exceptions Control
mode page (1Ch). Use the DEXCPT bit to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. feature. Setting the DEXCPT bit disables all
S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. collects on-line data as the drive performs normal read and write
operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is considered to be in “On-line Mode Only” and will not perform off-line
functions.
An application can measure off-line attributes and force the drive to save the data by using the REZERO UNIT command.
Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in one hour.
An application can interrogate the drive through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled
measurement and data logging process occurs. To accomplish this, issue a LOG SENSE command to log page 0x3E. This
allows applications to control when S.M.A.R.T. interruptions occur. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. with the REZERO UNIT command
resets the timer.
Performance impact
S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the media so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recreated. The drive
measures and saves parameters once every hour subject to an idle period on the drive interfaces. The process of measuring
off-line attribute data and saving data to the media is interruptible. The maximum on-line only processing delay is
summarized below
Table 1:
Maximum processing delay
Fully-enabled delay
DEXCPT = 0
S.M.A.R.T. delay times
75 ms
Reporting control
Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting
method. For example, if the MRIE is set to one, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5D00 sense code. The FRU field
contains the type of predictive failure that occurred. The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles.
Determining rate
S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded errors increases to
an unacceptable level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the number of total operations for a given
attribute. The interval defines the number of operations over which to measure the rate. The counter that keeps track of the
current number of operations is referred to as the Interval Counter.
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of the number of
errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.
Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to set
thresholds for the number of errors and appropriate interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before the interval
expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of errors does not exceed the threshold before the
interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable. In either case, the interval and failure counters are reset and
the process starts over.
SEAGATE 1200 SSD PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. A
18
Predictive failures
S.M.A.R.T. signals predictive failures when the drive is performing unacceptably for a period of time. The firmware keeps a
running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accomplish this, a counter is
incremented each time the error rate is unacceptable and decremented (not to exceed zero) whenever the error rate is
acceptable. If the counter continually increments such that it reaches the predictive threshold, a predictive failure is signaled.
This counter is referred to as the Failure History Counter. There is a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute.
5.3.5 Thermal monitor
Seagate 1200 SSD drives implement a temperature warning system which:
1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.
2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value. (i.e., the reference temperature value)
3. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceeds the threatening temperature value.
A temperature sensor monitors the drive temperature and issues a warning over the interface when the temperature
exceeds a set threshold. The temperature is measured at power-up and then at ten-minute intervals after power-up.
The thermal monitor system generates a warning code of 01-0B01 when the temperature exceeds the specified limit in
compliance with the SCSI standard.
This feature is controlled by the Enable Warning (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the Method of
Reporting Informational Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC) mode page (1Ch).
5.3.6 Drive Self Test (DST)
Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a failed unit. DST
validates the functionality of the drive at a system level.
There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:
1. Extended test
2. Short test
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical block address
(LBA) of the drive. The short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the entire media contents, but does
some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a "diagnostic failed" condition. If the drive fails the test,
remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service.
5.3.6.1 DST failure definition
The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log page if a
functional failure is encountered during DST. The drive parameters are not modified to test the drive more stringently, and the
recovery capabilities are not reduced. All retries and recovery processes are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable,
no failure condition will be reported regardless of the recovery processes required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Read error after recovery attempts are exhausted
• Write error after recovery attempts are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.

5.3.6.2 Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
5.3.6.2.1
State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command. There are multiple reasons why a
drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be in process of doing
a FORMAT UNIT, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not ready” cause.
5.3.6.2.2
Invoking DST
To invoke DST, submit the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short test or
010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7.
5.3.6.2.3
Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1. short
2. extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of two segments: an electrical test segment and a read/verify scan segment.
Short test (Function Code: 001b)
The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within 120 seconds.
The short test does not scan the entire media contents, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media. A
complete read/verify scan is not performed and only factual failures will report a "diagnostic failed" condition. This option
provides a quick confidence test of the drive.
Extended test (Function Code: 010b)
The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive components. The read operation tests the media
contents. The integrity of the media is checked through a read/verify scan of the media.
The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.

When the drive begins DST, it creates a new entry in the Self-test Results Log page. The new entry is created by inserting a
new self-test parameter block at the beginning of the self-test results log parameter section of the log page. Existing data will
be moved to make room for the new parameter block. The drive reports 20 parameter blocks in the log page. If there are
more than 20 parameter blocks, the least recent parameter block will be deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized
as follows:
1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command
2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh
3. The drive will store the log page to non-volatile memory
After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the drive updates the Self-Test Results Value field in its Self-Test Results
Log page in non-volatile memory. The host may use LOG SENSE to read the results from up to the last 20 self-tests
performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit field that reports the results of the test. If the field is set to zero,
the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not set to zero, the test failed for the reason reported in the
field.
The drive will report the failure condition and LBA (if applicable) in the Self-test Results Log parameter. The Sense key, ASC,
ASCQ, and FRU are used to report the failure condition.

5.3.6.2.5
Abort
There are several ways to abort a diagnostic. Applications can use a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device Reset message to
abort the diagnostic.
Applications can abort a DST executing in background mode by using the abort code in the DST Function Code field. This
will cause a 01 (self-test aborted by the application client) code to appear in the self-test results values log. All other abort
mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-test routine was interrupted by a reset condition).
5.3.7 Product warranty
Warranty terms will vary based on type of warranty chosen: “Managed Life Warranty” or “Limited Warranty with Media
Usage”. Consult the Seagate sales representative for warranty terms and conditions.
Managed Life
This warranty is term based and includes the Lifetime Endurance Management feature stated in section 6.2.6.
Limited Warranty with Media Usage
This warranty is based on the shorter of term and endurance usage of the drive.
Shipping
When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep the original box. Seagate approved
containers are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids
the drive warranty.
Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in transit. Contact the
authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier
experienced in handling computer equipment.
Product repair and return information
Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction
any third-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the warranty.
Storage
The maximum recommended storage period for the drive in a non-operational environment is 90 days. Drives should be
stored in the original unopened Seagate shipping packaging when ever possible. Once the drive is removed from the
Seagate original packaging the recommended maximum period between drive operation cycles is 30 days. During any
storage period the drive non-operational temperature, humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic
and electrical field specifications should be followed.

6.0 PHYSICAL/ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the drive.
6.1
POWER SPECIFICATIONS
The 2.5” drive receives DC power (+5V and +12V) through the standard SAS interface.
The 1.8" drive receives DC power (+3.3V and +5V) through the standard micro-SAS interface.
6.1.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the tables in Section 6.3. Typical power measurements are based on an
average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using the listed input voltage at 60°C ambient temperature.
Measurements are made at 6Gb interface speeds. For 12Gb interface speed add 1W of total power to the values shown.
• Startup power
Startup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive reaches operating condition and can pro-
cess media access commands.
• Peak operating mode
During peak operating mode, the drive is tested in various read and write access patterns to simulate the worst-case
power consumption.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measured with the drive powered up and ready for media access commands, with no media access
commands having been received from the host.
6.2
AC POWER REQUIREMENTS
None.

[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter. Instantaneous +12V current peaks will exceed these values. Power sup-
ply at nominal voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 60 Degrees C ambient.
[2] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial start but must return to ±5% before reaching ready state. The ±5%
must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to
accept selection by the host initiator.
[3] This condition occurs after OOB and Speed Negotiation completes but before the drive has received the Notify Spinup
primitive.
[4] See paragraph 6.3.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and transient
response.
General DC power requirement notes.
1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.7% of the maximum operating current shown.
2. The +3.3V, +5V and +12V supplies should employ separate ground returns.
3. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive power
requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak starting current must be
available to each device.
4. Parameters, other than start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.
