2.8.5 Shock
All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive
mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.8.5.1 Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum
operating shock of 70 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 ms during read operations. Shocks should not
be repeated more than two times per second.
2.8.5.2 Non-operating shock
1000 and 750GB models
The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation is 300 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock
pulse of 2 ms duration.
500, 320, 250 and 160GB models
The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation is 350 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock
pulse of 2-ms duration.
2.8.6 Vibration
All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the
drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.8.6.1 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards speci-
fied in this document are specified below.
2.8.6.2 Non-operating vibration
The maximum non-operating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage
or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below.
2Hz to 22Hz 0.25 Gs (Limited displacement)
22Hz to 350Hz 0.50 Gs
350Hz to 500Hz 0.25 Gs
