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 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

2.7 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 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

2.9 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. 2.9.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 8. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature, after 25 minutes of oper- ation. • 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 m

Figure 2. Typical +5V only startup and operation current profile 2.9.2 Deferred spinup Momentus 5400.2 SATA drives provide a deferred spinup feature which storage subsystem controllers can use to sequence disc drive initialization. This is beneficial to systems which include multiple Serial ATA hard disc drives because it allows subsystem controllers to stagger the spinup of each drive to accommodate available power supply current. This feature does not impact time-to-ready in typical de

2.9.3 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. Using 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. Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current. 2.9.4 Voltage tolerance Voltage tolerance (including noise): 5V ± 5% 2.9.5 Power-management modes Th

� 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 necessary. 2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Ambient temperature

2.10.5 Shock All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. 2.10.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 250 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more than two times per second. 2.10.5.2 Nonoperating shock The nonoperating shock leve

2.11 Acoustics Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All mea- surements 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. For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined by the following equation: (Number of seeks per second =
