Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to

Figure 1 on page 28

on page 28.

2.8.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in

Table 4 on page 19

and

Table 5 on page 19

. Typical power

measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input
voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating
speed.

• Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay,
then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-ms delay.

• Operating power and current

Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10
reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a
random track location.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/write
electronics are in power-down mode.

Note

These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual.
Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet
the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark
tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary
from these specifications.
