Savvio 10K.5 SAS Product Manual, Rev. D
4.0
General description
Savvio drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engi-
neering 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-den-
sity storage requirements.
Savvio 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. Savvio drives are classified as intelligent 
peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard. The SAS connec-
tors, 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 disc 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.trustedcomputing-
group.org).
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.
Savvio drives use a dedicated load/unload zone at the outermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibil-
ity 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 dur-
ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is 
applied to the drive. 
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.
