2.1 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 jump- ers 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 f

3.8 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 4, page 22 on page 22. 3.8.1 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 reac

3.8.4 Power-management modes TM PowerChoice power management Drives using the load/unload architecture provide programmable power management to tailor systems for per- formance and greater energy efficiency. The table below lists the supported PowerChoice modes. The further you go down in the table, the more power savings you get. For example, Idle_B mode results in greater power savings than Idle_A mode. Standby mode results in the greatest power savings. Mode Description Idle_A Reduced elect
