Device Overview

1.7 Reliability

(1) Mean time between failures (MTBF)
Conditions of 300,000 h
MTBF is defined as follows:
MTBF=
*1 "Disk drive defects" refers to defects that involve repair, readjustment, or
replacement. Disk drive defects do not include failures caused by external factors,
such as damage caused by handling, inappropriate operating environments, defects
in the power supply host system, or interface cable.
(2) Mean time to repair (MTTR)
The mean time to repair (MTTR) is 30 minutes or less, if repaired by a specialist
maintenance staff member.
(3) Service life
1) DE surface temperature -30ºC to 70ºC:
In situations where management and handling are correct, the disk drive requires
no overhaul for five years when the DE surface temperature is less than 48ºC.
When the DE surface temperature exceeds 48ºC, the disk drives requires no
overhaul for five years or 30,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first.
2) DE surface temperature over 70ºC:
The disk drive requires no overhaul for 2,000 hours of operation.
Refer to item (3) in Subsection 3.2 for the measurement point of the DE surface
temperature. The operating conditions of Service life are based on the equal
conditions with MTBF.
(4) Data assurance in the event of power failure
Except for the data block being written to, the data on the disk media is assured in
the event of any power supply abnormalities. This does not include power supply

separately.)
