2.9.6.3 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in
this document are specified below.
2Hz to 22Hz 0.25 Gs (Limited displacement)
22Hz to 350Hz 0.50 Gs
350Hz to 500Hz 0.25 Gs
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. Throughput may vary if improperly mounted.

2.9.7 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.
5Hz to 22Hz 3.0 Gs (Limited displacement)
22Hz to 350Hz 3.0 Gs
350Hz to 500Hz 3.0 Gs

2.10 Acoustics

Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All
measurements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially
free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.
For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined by the
following equation:
Note
(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time

*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.
