2.7 Start/stop times
2.8 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. (Refer to Figure 3 ).
2.8.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 2 on page 15 . 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.
* During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power
to operational levels.
