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. � 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 from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was

2.6 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. Typical seek times (msec) Read Write Track-to-track <0.8 <1.0 Averag

2.8 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 4 on page 22. 2.8.1 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 reaches operatin
