When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different
standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage.
Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment
and other factors. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for

Note
Previous generations of Seagate Self-Encrypting Drive models were called
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) models before a differentiation between drive-
based encryption and other forms of encryption was necessary.
Note
For improved reliability, Seagate SSHDs incorporate a technique referred
to as 'Combo Mode', utilizing proprietary controls to reduce the number
of bits stored to a portion of the NAND Flash.

Introduction
Seagate Laptop SSHD Self-Encrypting Drive models have the following additional features
n16 independent data bands
nAuthenticated firmware download.
nAutomatic data encryption/decryption
nControlled access
nCryptographic erase of user data for a drive that will be repurposed or scrapped

There is no significant performance difference between Self-Encrypting Drive and standard (non-Self-Encrypting Drive) models.
1.1 About the Serial ATA Interface
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include:
nEasy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.
nThinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
nScalability to higher performance levels.
In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow users to
install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as normal.
The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating
system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0
(master) devices.
The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing
host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.
The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the Shadow
Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to
the Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA (Revision 3.0). The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.
Note
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on
separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed
at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two
sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

2.5 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:
nTrack-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
nAverage seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
2.6 Start/stop times
2.7 Power Specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector (refer to Figure 2).
2.7.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table in Table 4. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under
nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. These power measurements are done with Interface Power Management modes like HIPM
and DIPM enabled.
nSpinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
nSeek mode
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disk surface and does not execute a read or write
operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power is measured based on three random seek operations every 100 ms. This mode is not
typical.
nRead/write power and current
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations every 100 ms.
nIdle 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.
nStandby 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.
Table 2 Typical seek times
Typical seek times (ms) Read
Track-to-track 2.0
Average 12.0
Average latency 5.6
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.

2.7.2 Conducted noise
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.
nUsing 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
2.7.3 Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
n+5V ± 5%
2.7.4 Power management modes
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, power management is controlled
through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:
nActive mode
The drive is in active mode during the read/write and seek operations.
nIdle mode
The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to active mode any time disk access is necessary.
nStandby 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.
nSleep 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.
nIdle 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.
Note Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

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 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
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.
3.2 Configuring the Drive
Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave
relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. 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.
3.2.1 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). Refer to Table 10 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, users can connect the
drive as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Attaching SATA Cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Laptop SSHD SATA drives support latching SATA connectors.
3.3 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. Refer to
Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:
nAllow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
nUse only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws.
nDo not overtighten the mounting screws. Maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb (0.4519 N-m).
nFour (4) threads (0.080 in, 2.032 mm) minimum screw engagement recommended.
CAUTION
• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until users are ready for installation to
limit the drive’s exposure to ESD.
• 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 users 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.
