* SATA Specification Revision 3.1 and prior revisions assigned 3.3V to pins P1, P2, and P3. In addition, device plug
pins P1, P2, and P3 were required to be bused together. In the standard configuration of this product, P3 is
connected with P1 and P2 and this product behaves as SATA 3.1 or prior version product in a system designed to
SATA 3.2 system that does not support the 3.3 feature. For product with the optional SATA 3.3 Power Disable
Feature supported, P3 is now assigned as the POWER DISABLE CONTROL PIN. If P3 is driven HIGH (2.1V-3.6V
max), power to the drive circuitry will be disabled. Drives with this optional feature WILL NOT POWER UP in systems
designed to SATA Spec Revision 3.1 or earlier because P3 driven HIGH will prevent the drive from powering up.
