1.0 Introduction  
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the following  
Seagate® Desktop HDD model drives:  
Standard model  
SED model  
ST5000DM000  
ST5000DM001  
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  
These drives provide the following key features:  
High instantaneous (burst) data-transfer rates (up to 600MB per second).  
TGMR recording technology provides the drives with increased areal density.  
State-of-the-art cache and on-the-fly error-correction algorithms.  
Native Command Queueing with command ordering to increase performance in demanding applications.  
Full-track multiple-sector transfer capability without local processor intervention.  
Seagate AcuTrac™ servo technology delivers dependable performance, even with hard drive track widths of  
only 75 nanometers.  
Seagate SmartAlign™ technology provides a simple, transparent migration to Advanced Format 4K sectors  
Quiet operation.  
Compliant with RoHS requirements in China and Europe.  
SeaTools diagnostic software performs a drive self-test that eliminates unnecessary drive returns.  
Support for S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring and reporting.  
Supports latching SATA cables and connectors.  
Worldwide Name (WWN) capability uniquely identifies the drive.  
1.1 About the SATA interface  
The Serial ATA (SATA) 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 jumpers or  
other configuration options.  
Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.  
Scalability to higher performance levels.  
In addition, SATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. SATA was  
designed to allow users to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of  
the existing applications to work as normal.  
The SATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the SATA host adapter. There is  
no master/slave relationship with SATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one  
SATA 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 SATA 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 SATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers,  
referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All SATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional  
information about how SATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA  
Revision 3.0”. The specification can be downloaded from www.sata-io.org.  
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on  
separate SATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at  
Note  
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 SATA environment.

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 5000 measurements of seeks between random  
tracks, less overhead.

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.

Drive Specifications  
2.8 Power specifications  
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 1 on page 14.  
2.8.1 Power consumption  
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 2. 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 operating speed.  
• Read/write power and current  
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay,  
then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-ms delay.  
• Operating power and current  
Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10  
reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.  
• Idle 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.  
• Standby 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.

2.8.2 Conducted noise  
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the  
+12 volt line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.  
• Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave  
injected noise at up to 10MHz.  
• 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 10MHz.  
Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

• Active mode  
The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.  
• Idle mode  
The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disk  
access is necessary.  
• Standby 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 spec-  
ifiable 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 com-  
mands and returns to Active mode any time disk access is necessary.  
• Sleep 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.  
• 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 disk access is necessary.

2.10 Acoustics  
Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All  
measurements 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 = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time

2.10.1 Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)  
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process  
is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to  
discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios  
according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives. The  
drive is designed for operation inside a properly designed enclosure, with properly shielded I/O cable (if necessary)  
and terminators on all unused I/O ports. Computer manufacturers and system integrators should confirm EMC  
compliance and provide CE marking for their products.

is required.  
Seagate has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disk  
drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to  
Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation with non-certified assemblies is likely to result in interference to  
radio and television reception.  
Radio and television interference. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not  
installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and  
television reception.  
This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, users are  
encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures:  
• Reorient the receiving antenna.  
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.  
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.  
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.  
If necessary, users should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional  
suggestions. Users may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission:  
How to Identify and Resolve Radio-Television Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the

Drive Specifications  
2.14 Environmental protection  
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations  
restricting certain chemical substances.  
2.14.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive  
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical  
substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products,  
effective July 2006. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS  
Directive.  
2.14.2 China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive  
This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table  
contains information mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by  
Electronic Information Products" Standard.  
"O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower  
than the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.  
"X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the  
threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.  
2.15 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 the Drive  
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:  
Caution  
• 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 mounting 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.  
3.2 Configuring the drive  
Each drive on the SATA interface connects point-to-point with the SATA host adapter. There is no master/slave  
relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on  
one SATA 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.  
SATA drives are designed for easy installation. It is usually not necessary to set any jumpers on the drive for proper  
operation; however, if users connect the drive and receive a “drive not detected” error, the SATA-equipped  
motherboard or host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA speed auto-negotiation.  
3.3 SATA cables and connectors  
The SATA 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 inches). See Table 5 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 illustrated in Figure 1.

Power cable  
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Desktop HDD drives support latching SATA connectors.  
3.4 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 2 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting  
precautions when mounting the drive:  
Seagate Desktop HDD Product Manual, Rev. B  
14  
 
                                   
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.  
• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.  
• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 inch (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.  
• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).

4.0 About (SED) Self-Encrypting Drives  
Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) offer encryption and security services for the protection of stored data, commonly  
known as "protection of data at rest". These drives are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal  
Storage Specifications as detailed in the following:  
Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Documents (apply to Self-Encrypting Drive models only)  
TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification, Version 2.0  
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class Opal Specification, Version 2.0  
In case of conflict between this document and any referenced document, this document takes precedence.  
The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is an organization sponsored and operated by companies in the computer,  
storage and digital communications industry. Seagate's SED models comply with the standards published by the  
TCG.  
To use the security features in the drive, the host must be capable of constructing and issuing the following two  
SATA commands:  
Trusted Send  
Trusted Receive  
These commands are used to convey the TCG protocol to and from the drive in their command payloads.  
4.1 Data Encryption  
Encrypting drives use one inline encryption engine for each drive employing AES-256 data encryption in Cipher Block Chaining  
(CBC) mode to encrypt all data prior to being written on the media and to decrypt all data as it is read from the media. The  
encryption engine is always in operation and cannot be disabled.  
The 32-byte Data Encryption Key (DEK) is a random number which is generated by the drive, never leaves the drive, and is  
inaccessible to the host system. The DEK is itself encrypted when it is stored on the media and when it is in volatile temporary  
storage (DRAM) external to the encryption engine. A unique data encryption key is used for each of the drive's possible16 data  
bands (see Section 4.5 Data Bands).  
4.2 Controlled Access  
The drive has two security providers (SPs) called the "Admin SP" and the "Locking SP." These act as gatekeepers to the drive  
security services. Security-related commands will not be accepted unless they also supply the correct credentials to prove the  
requester is authorized to perform the command.  
4.2.1 Admin SP  
The Admin SP allows the drive's owner to enable or disable firmware download operations (see Section 4.4 Drive Locking).  
Access to the Admin SP is available using the SID (Secure ID) password or the MSID (Manufacturers Secure ID) password.  
4.2.2 Locking SP  
The Locking SP controls read/write access to the media and the cryptographic erase feature. Access to the Locking SP is  
available using the Admin or User passwords.  
4.2.3 Default password  
When the drive is shipped from the factory, all passwords are set to the value of MSID. This 32-byte random value can only be  
read by the host electronically over the interface. After receipt of the drive, it is the responsibility of the owner to use the default  
MSID password as the authority to change all other passwords to unique owner-specified values.  
4.2.4 ATA Enhanced Security  
The drive can utilize the system's BIOS through the ATA Security API for cases that do not require password management and  
additional security policies.  
Furthermore, the drive's ATA Security Erase Unit command shall support both Normal and Enhanced Erase modes  
with the following modifications/additions:  
Normal Erase: Normal erase feature shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key (DEK) of the drive,  
followed by an overwrite operation that repeatedly writes a single sector containing random data to the entire drive.  
This write operation bypasses the media encryption. On reading back the overwritten sectors, the host will receive  
a decrypted version, using the new DEK of the random data sector (the returned data will not match what was  
written).  
Enhanced Erase: Enhanced erase shall be performed by changing the Data Encryption Key of the drive.  
Seagate Desktop HDD Product Manual, Rev. B  
16  
 
                                   
About (SED) Self-Encrypting Drives  
4.3 Random Number Generator (RNG)  
The drive has a 32-byte hardware RNG that it is uses to derive encryption keys or, if requested to do so, to provide  
random numbers to the host for system use, including using these numbers as Authentication Keys (passwords)  
for the drive's Admin and Locking SPs.  
4.4 Drive Locking  
In addition to changing the passwords, as described in Section 4.2.3 Default password, the owner should also set the data  
access controls for the individual bands.  
The variable "LockOnReset" should be set to "PowerCycle" to ensure that the data bands will be locked if power is lost. In  
addition "ReadLockEnabled" and "WriteLockEnabled" must be set to true in the locking table in order for the bands  
"LockOnReset" setting of "PowerCycle" to actually lock access to the band when a "PowerCycle" event occurs. This scenario  
occurs if the drive is removed from its cabinet. The drive will not honor any data read or write requests until the bands have been  
unlocked. This prevents the user data from being accessed without the appropriate credentials when the drive has been  
removed from its cabinet and installed in another system.  
4.5 Data Bands  
When shipped from the factory, the drive is configured with a single data band called Band 0 (also known as the Global Data  
Band) which comprises LBA 0 through LBA max. The host may allocate additional bands (Band1 to Band15) by specifying a  
start LBA and an LBA range. The real estate for this band is taken from the Global Band.  
Data bands cannot overlap but they can be sequential with one band ending at LBA (x) and the next beginning at LBA (x+1).  
Each data band has its own drive-generated encryption key. The host may change the Encryption Key (see Section 4.6  
Cryptographic Erase) or the password when required. The bands should be aligned to 4K LBA boundaries.  
4.6 Cryptographic Erase  
A significant feature of SEDs is the ability to perform a cryptographic erase. This involves the host telling the drive to change the  
data encryption key for a particular band. Once changed, the data is no longer recoverable since it was written with one key and  
will be read using a different key. Since the drive overwrites the old key with the new one, and keeps no history of key changes,  
the user data can never be recovered. This is tantamount to an instantaneous data erase and is very useful if the drive is to be  
scrapped or redispositioned.  
4.7 Authenticated Firmware Download  
In addition to providing a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted firmware download attempts, the drive also only accepts  
download files which have been cryptographically signed by the appropriate Seagate Design Center.  
Three conditions must be met before the drive will allow the download operation:  
1. The download must be an SED file. A standard (base) drive (non-SED) file will be rejected.  
2. The download file must be signed and authenticated.  
3. As with a non-SED drive, the download file must pass the acceptance criteria for the drive. For example it must be applicable  
to the correct drive model, and have compatible revision and customer status.  
4.8 Power Requirements  
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of  
the drive controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply  
of about  
30mA and a commensurate increase of about 150mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply.  
See the tables in Section 2.8 Power specifications for power requirements on the standard (non-SED) drive models.  
4.9 Supported Commands  
The SED models support the following two commands in addition to the commands supported by the standard (non-SED)  
models as listed in Table 6:  
Trusted Send  
Trusted Receive  
4.10 RevertSP  
SED models will support the RevertSP feature which erases all data in all bands on the device and returns the  
contents of all SPs (Security Providers) on the device to their original factory state. In order to execute the  
RevertSP method the unique PSID (Physical Secure ID) printed on the drive label must be provided. PSID is not  
electronically accessible and can only be manually read from the drive label or scanned in via the 2D barcode.

5.3.2 Set Features command  
This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this  
command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the  
value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on  
default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features  
register are defined as follows:

5.3.3 S.M.A.R.T. commands  
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors  
predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a  
failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T.  
predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and  
implementation, see the Draft ATA-5 Standard.  
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4 ) that eliminates  
H
unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:  
This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users must have a recent BIOS or software package that  
supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive  
uses.

If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x04 (abort)  
is written to the Error register.
