100GB models in 6Gb operation
Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 6Gb operation is 3.42 watts (11.67 BTUs per hour).
To obtain operating power for typical random write operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure
6). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5
volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis. To calculate BTUs per hour, multiply watts by
3.4123.

Conducted noise
Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a defined frequency. Maximum
allowed noise values given below are peak-to-peak measurements and apply at the drive power connector.
+5v = 250 mV pp from 100 Hz to 20 MHz.
+12v = 450 mV pp from 100 Hz to 100 KHz.
250 mV pp from 100 KHz to 20 MHz.
150 mV pp from 20 MHz to 80 MHz.

Voltage tolerance
Voltage tolerance (including noise):
+12V ±5%
+5V ±5%
