Table 3:
500GB drive (Standard & SED model)
[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter.
[2] Instantaneous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.
[3] Power supply at nominal voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C ambient.
[4] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching
7,200 RPM. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been
completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator.
[5] See +12V current profile in Figure 1.
[6] This condition occurs after OOB and Speed Negotiation completes but before the drive has received the
Notify Spinup primitive.
[7] See paragraph 7.3.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and
transient response.
[8] Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads.
[9] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 30 seconds to a random location within the band from
three-quarters to maximum track.
