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.
2.7.1
Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the
absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern tone audibility and to compensate
for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

Electromagnetic immunity
When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when
subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in
