1.8.6.1 Operating vibration
The following table lists the maximum vibration levels that the drive may
experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this
document.
5–22 Hz
0.020-inch displacement (peak to peak)
22–350 Hz
0.5 Gs acceleration (zero to peak)
1.8.6.2 Nonoperating vibration
The following table lists the maximum nonoperating vibration that the
drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation.
5–22 Hz
0.20-inch displacement (peak to peak)
22–350 Hz
5.0 Gs acceleration (zero to peak)
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 are taken under
essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the
drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.
Note. For seek mode tests, the drive is 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)
