1. Scope
The 85xx suite of specifications defines the configuration characteristics
associated with 5.25" drives.
The purpose of the 85xx suite is to define the external characteristics of drives
such that products from different vendors may be used in the same mounting
configurations.
The set of specifications provide external dimensions, connectors, connector
placement, mounting holes and interface pinouts to assist manufacturers in the
systems integration of small form factor disk drives.
- SFF-8500 contains general information regarding connector space, mounting
considerations and measurement requirements.
- SFF-8501 defines the dimensions of 5.25" disk drives.
- Other specifications in the 85xx family define the location of connectors on
5.25" drives.
In an effort to broaden the applications for storage products, an ad hoc industry
group of companies representing system integrators, peripheral suppliers, and
component suppliers decided to address issues which appear in the marketplace that
affect many OEMs and vendors.
The SFF Committee was formed in August, 1990 and the first working document was
introduced in January, 1991.

General Description
The application environment for small form factor disks is any computer connecting
to one or more disks in a restricted packaging environment.
The purpose of an SFF Specification is to provide information that will assist
vendors to design products that can fit the same packaging envelope.
Small form factor disks are widely-used where low power and small size are important
configuration parameters.
