This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. 
Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions.

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. Both drives behave as if 
they are Device 0 (master) devices.

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be 
30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). Refer to 

 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. For installations which require cables, you 
can connect the drive as shown in

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Laptop SSHD SATA drives support latching SATA connectors. 

• 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 by its edges or frame only.

• The drive is extremely 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.
