                        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 normally 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, Serial ATA makes the tran

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.

                        3.9.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on  the +5V line. Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV 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. 3.9.3 Voltage tolerance Voltage tolerance (including noise): 5V ± 5% 3.9.4 Power-management modes The drive p

                        • 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. 3.10 Environmental specifications This section provides the t
