General description

Constellation ES.2 drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems

including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. The Serial Attached

SCSI interface is designed to meet next-generation computing demands for performance, scalability, flexibility

and high-density storage requirements.

Constellation ES.2 drives are random access storage devices designed to support the Serial Attached SCSI

Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the

SAS Interface Manual

(part number

100293071) which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Constellation ES.2 drives are

classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1

standard. The SAS connectors, cables and electrical interface are compatible with Serial ATA (SATA), giving

future users the choice of populating their systems with either SAS or SATA hard disk drives. This allows you to

continue to leverage your existing investment in SCSI while gaining a 6Gb/s serial data transfer rate.

The Self-Encrypting Drive models indicated on the cover of this product manual have provisions for

“Security

of Data at Rest” based on the standards defined by the Trusted Computing Group

(see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).

The head and disk assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HDA through a non-

replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.

Note.

Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads,

media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable

parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.

Constellation ES.2 drives use a dedicated load/unload zone at the outermost radius of the media to eliminate

the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the

ramp load/unload when power is removed from the drive.

An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement

during shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is

applied to the drive.

Constellation ES.2 drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to

eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.

The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm

design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

Note.

Seagate recommends validating your configuration with the selected HBA/RAID controller

manufacturer to ensure full 3TB capacity capabilities.
