About Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA disc drives  
Momentus® 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives contain DriveTrust technology providing Full Disc Encryption (FDE)  
using proven Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption and decryption.  
You can elect to use Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives in one of two different security modes:  
1. The ATA Security mode  
To operate in ATA Security mode, you only need a host system and operating system that supports the  
existing ATA Security Command Set. The drive is shipped to operating in this mode, ready to use.  
2. The DriveTrust Security mode  
To enable a robust enterprise-level security and management policy, you may elect to operate in  
DriveTrust Security mode. To do so, you will need to use a third-party security application to manage the  
DriveTrust features. Please contact your system or software provider for more details.  
Refer to the table below to determine which mode is best for your particular solution.

FDE drive feature list  
• Automatically encrypts (and decrypts) all data on the drive  
• Operations are performed with no measurable performance loss  
• All user data is encrypted on write operations and decrypted on read operations  
FDE benefits  
• Drive-level protection of data  
• Drives that are stolen, taken out of service, or re-purposed remain fully protected  
• Near instantaneous disposal and re-purposing of the drive (ensures that data from previous user is not  
accessible by the new drive owner)  
• Able to be deployed within a trusted computing environment  
The drive encrypts every write operation and decrypts every read operation without user intervention. The  
encryption and decryption is done on the drive itself, so there is a near-zero performance impact when the  
drive writes and reads data. The performance-optimized encryption and decryption engine performs at the  
SATA interface speed.  
The purpose of full disc encryption on the drive is to protect the data stored on the drive in the event that the  
host system is lost or stolen. This data at rest protection assures the system owner that if their system is lost or  
stolen, their data will not be accessible without the correct credentials.  
Note. The system reauthenticates the user on powerup and when awakening from sleep mode. It is not  
necessary to power down to ensure that the system reauthenticates the user.

Having the encryption/decryption on the drive also provides the highest level of security for data because all  
data, including the boot sector bytes, operating system, temp and even the swap files are encrypted at the  
drive level.  
1.2.1  
Drive state upon shipment  
Upon shipment from the Seagate factory, the ATA Security Interface is enabled and functioning. This is  
referred to as operating in ATA Security mode. The following is the detailed state of the drive upon shipment.  
• Full Disc Encryption is active and functioning. All user data is encrypted on write and decrypted on read.  
• The user interface to the drive is active and all read and write commands are allowed.  
• The ATA user password is null (no value).  
• The ATA master password is set to the Security ID (SID).  
• ATA Security is set to the unlocked state. No password is required to access the drive.  
Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives may be integrated into the computer system in the same way you would  
integrate a non-FDE Momentus drive.  
The encryption key is enabled and operational when the drive leaves the Seagate factory. No user id is  
required to access the drive, so the data on the drive is accessible to anyone possessing the drive.

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.

Note. 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.

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 table 3. Typical power measurements are based on an average  
of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature.  
• Spinup power  
Spinup power is measured fromthe time ofpower-onto thetimethat the drive spindle reaches operating speed.  
• Seek mode  
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does  
not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power is measured based on  
three random seek operations every 100 msecs. This mode is not typical.  
Read/write power and current  
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations  
every 100 msecs.  
• 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 model

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.

Power-management modes  
The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems,  
you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following  
power-management modes:

• 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 disc  
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  
specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby  
mode, the drive buffer is in Self Refresh Low Power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest.  
The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc 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 in Self Refresh Low Power mode, 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 disc access is necessary.

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and  
power to operational levels.  
Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)  
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this pro-  
cess is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses the lower limit for the threshold curve* 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.  
*Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies.

keted to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification  
of the device is required.  
Seagate Technology LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total  
assembly (enclosure, disc 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 noncertified 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 installa-  
tion. 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,  
you 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.  
18  
Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA Product Manual, Rev. A  
 
                                           
• 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.

Environmental protection  
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations  
restricting certain chemical substances.  
2.15.1  
European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)  
Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations  
restricting certain chemical substances. A new law, the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances  
(RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexava-  
lent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This drive is manufactured with  
components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive.  
2.15.2

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 corro-  
sive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The sil-  
ver, 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 vulca-  
nized 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  
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.  
Momentus® 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives may be connected to any computer system that supports a standard  
SATA interface.  
You can elect to use Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives in one of two different security modes:  
1. The ATA Security mode  
To operate in ATA Security mode, you only need a host system and operating system that supports the  
existing ATA Security Command Set. The drive is shipped to operating in this mode, ready to use.  
2. The DriveTrust Security mode  
To enable a robust enterprise-level security and management policy, you may elect to operate in  
DriveTrust Security mode. To do so, you will need to use a third-party security application to manage the  
DriveTrust features. Please contact your system or software provider for more details.  
Refer to Table 1 on page 2 to determine which mode is best for your particular solution.  
Note. As with any disc drive, Seagate highly encourages consumers to consistently back up their data as  
well as the security pre-boot password, user name, and domain name on another storage device.  
Seagate is not responsible for lost or stolen authentication data such as passwords, user names,  
domain names, or any authentication data perceived to be inoperative, and as a consequence of  
lost or stolen passwords, user names, or domain names, Seagate cannot be held liable for data  
that cannot be retrieved from the drive due to inability to authenticate the user to the drive as  
required by the security pre-boot software.  
3.1  
Handling and static-discharge precautions  
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic dis-  
charge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:  
Caution:  
• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready for installation to limit the drive’s  
exposure to ESD.  
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself 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 only by its edges or frame.  
• The drive is fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.  
• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount 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.  
Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA Product Manual, Rev. A

• Do not obstruct the breather hole located on the top cover of the drive. Refer to Figure 4 for the exact location  
of this hole.  
3.2  
Configuring the drive  
Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host  
adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point  
relationships. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the  
two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This means both drives behave as if they are  
Device 0 (master) devices.  
Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation with no jumpers, terminators, or other settings. It is not nec-  
essary to set any jumpers on this drive for proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the signal connector  
is for factory use only.

Serial ATA cables and connectors  
The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connec-  
tions. 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.

ATA Security policy exceptions  
In the ATA Security Interface mode, the drive conforms to the ATA Security Policy, except the following desir-  
able exceptions to implement the desired Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA behavior:  
Upon execution of the secure erase sequence, the drive will have the following behavior:  
• All secure erase modes will instantaneously delete the encryption key rendering all user data unintelligible.  
• A new encryption key will be generated inside the drive replacing the previous encryption key.  
• The new encryption/decryption key will be applied to the data for all subsequent writes/reads prior to the  
next secure erase sequence.  
• The user password will be cleared to a null value.  
• The master password will retain the current value per the ATA specification.  
Note. On completion of this sequence, the user is assured that all sectors on the drive are unintelligible and  
the drive is returned to the default factory state. It is then immediately ready for disposal or repurpos-  
ing.  
The ATA Security Erase Unit Command provides for normal and enhanced erase modes as follows:

Choosing enhanced erase mode will simply perform the cryptographic erase described above, and return sta-  
tus almost immediately. This is the recommended option.  
To maintain consistency with the ATA Security specification, Momentus 7200 FDE.1 SATA drives provide an  
option to perform the Normal Erase mode.  
Choosing normal erase will result in the drive performing the cryptographic erase which is the same as choos-  
ing enhanced erase.

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 inter-  
rupt. 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:

S.M.A.R.T. commands  
S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disc drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive moni-  
tors 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 elimi-  
H
nates 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. You 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.

Compatibility summary  
5.1  
Installation considerations  
Many of today’s mobile computers have been designed to make it possible for the end user to replace the hard  
drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific  
instructions regarding replacement. Refer to your system manufacturer’s support website for the most up-to-  
date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when replacing the  
system hard drive.  
Some mobile systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain access to the hard drive. Special train-  
ing or tools may be needed to service some mobile computers. In some cases, opening the case may void  
your warranty. Consult your system documentation. Seagate recommends taking your system to an authorized  
service technician to replace your hard drive.  
5.2  
System Compatibility using WIndows XP SP2  
Seagate Product Assurance has tested Momentus drives in systems using ATA Security mode. Testing  
included multiple BIOS versions and the Windows XP SP2 Pro operating system. This testing was done to  
demonstrate compatibility with various hardware and software configurations.  
5.2.1

The following list indicates the types of BIOS Seagate tested during the compatibility testing process. The list  
highlights the major BIOS manufacturers. Individual systems contain variations of these BIOS versions and  
were tested with regard to their implementation in the individual systems.
