Travelstar 5K160 (SATA) Hard Disk Drive Specification

12.5.3Standby/Sleep command completion timing

1.Confirm the completion of writing cached data in the buffer to media

2.Unload heads on the ramp

3.Set DRDY bit and DSC bit in Status Register

4.Activate the spindle break to stop the spindle motor

5.Wait until spindle motor is stopped

6.Perform post process

12.5.4Status

In the active, idle and standby modes, the device shall have RDY bit of the status register set. If BSY bit is not set, device shall be ready to accept any command.

In sleep mode, the device’s interface is not active. A host shall not attempt to read the device’s status or issue commands to the device.

12.5.5Interface Capability for Power Modes

Each power mode affects the physical interface as defined in the following table:

Ready(RDY) is not a power condition. A device may post ready at the interface even though the media may not be accessible.

12.5.6Initial Power Mode at Power On

After power on the device goes to IDLE mode or STANDBY mode depending on the option. Refer HTS5416XXJ9SA00 Final Functional Specification (P/N TBD) for the initial power mode selection.

12.6 Advanced Power Management (Adaptive

Battery Life Extender 3) Feature

This feature provides power saving without performance degradation. The Adaptive Battery Life Extender 3 (ABLE-3) technology intelligently manages transition among power modes within the device by monitoring access patterns of the host.

This technology has three idle modes; Performance Idle mode, Active Idle mode, and Low Power Idle mode.

This feature allows the host to select an advanced power management level. The advanced power management level is a scale from the lowest power consumption setting of 01h to the maximum performance level of FEh. Device performance may increase with increasing advanced power management levels. Device power consumption may increase with increasing advanced power management levels. The advanced power management levels contain discrete bands, described in the section of Set Feature command in detail.

This feature set uses the following functions:

A SET FEATURES subcommand to enable Advanced Power Management

A SET FEATURES subcommand to disable Advanced Power Management

HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, HTS541612J9SA00, HTS541660J9SA00 specifications

The Hitachi HTS541660J9SA00, HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, and HTS541612J9SA00 are a series of hard disk drives that showcase Hitachi's commitment to high-performance storage solutions. These drives belong to the Travelstar series, which is designed primarily for mobile computing applications, such as laptops and external storage devices. Their compact design and reliable performance make them suitable for users seeking efficient storage in portable settings.

One of the primary features of these drives is their SATA interface, which allows for fast data transfer rates, thereby enhancing overall system performance. The SATA II interface provides a maximum transfer rate of up to 3.0 Gbps, ensuring that these drives can keep up with the demands of modern computing.

The storage capacity of these models varies, with options such as 160GB, 250GB, and 320GB, catering to diverse user needs for both personal and professional use. The HTS541660J9SA00 provides a generous 160GB capacity, while the HTS541680J9SA00 offers up to 320GB, making them suitable for users who require significant storage space for media files, applications, and documents.

In terms of performance, these hard drives boast a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, striking an optimal balance between speed and energy efficiency. This speed ensures relatively quick access times while consuming less power compared to faster 7200 RPM drives, making them ideal for battery-powered devices.

Another significant characteristic of these drives is the use of Hitachi’s Advanced Format technology. This technology increases the physical sector size of the drives to 4KB, enhancing error correction and overall data integrity. This larger sector size allows for greater data efficiency, significantly reducing the overhead associated with data storage.

Furthermore, these drives are designed with Shock Protection technology, which helps to safeguard the drive's internal components from physical shocks caused by accidental drops or bumps. This feature is especially important for mobile storage solutions, where portability can lead to unintentional impacts.

In conclusion, the Hitachi HTS541660J9SA00, HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, and HTS541612J9SA00 hard disk drives are exemplary choices for anyone seeking reliable, efficient, and portable storage solutions. With their combination of adequate capacity, enhanced data management technologies, and robust design, these drives effectively meet the demands of today’s mobile computing needs.
