1.9 Drive acoustics

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