Drive Usage Condition Specifications - Hitachi C4K60 - Travelstar Slim - Hard Drive Specifications

*3 : 3.0 Bels are the maximum sound power levels with A-weighted. This value is specified at product
shipment, except during power on, load, unload or power down. Clicking noise of magnet latch operation
occurs at loading and unloading operation of the magnetic heads. Also, the clicking noise of the magnet
latch occurs at emergency unloading operations. Measurements are to be taken in accordance with ISO
7779. At seek mode, randomly select a cylinder and seek operation of the actuator with a delay time at
each cylinder. Seek rate for the drive can be calculated as shown below.
Seek rate = 0.4/(average access time + average latency) = 0.4/(average access time + 60/RPM/2)
*4 :
Data reliability is not to be used to compromise the host system data backup.
Caution
*5 :These shock specifications are defined for each axis. For non-operating rotational shock, the
specification is 50K radian/sec

3.3. Drive Usage Condition Specifications

The drive is designed for usage under the following conditions. Since reliability and product life depends on
usage conditions, please consult our sales representatives or application engineers if the drive may be
operated outside these conditions.
-Power on hours (POH) : Less than 333 hours/month
-Operating (Seek/Write
Read operations)
-Motor Start/Stop Count : Max. 300,000 times. This number includes Standby, Sleep and power-on/off
-Environment
-Power Requirement
-Drive Grounding
-External Magnetic Field : Within specifications given in Table 3.2

or less (2 ms, half sine wave).
POH includes Sleep and Standby modes. The heads are unloaded during Power
off, Standby, Sleep or Low Power Idle modes. The spindle motor is stopped
during Standby and Sleep modes. This drive is not designed or intended to be
used for 24/7 applications. Continuous motor spinning should be limited to 48
hours period. In case of continuous POH condition, the transition to Standby
mode or Sleep mode must occur at least once every 48 hours period.
: Less than 20% of POH
count.
: Within environmental specifications given in Table 3.2
: Within DC power requirement specifications given in Table 3.1 "Principal
Specifications"
: Drive frame should be grounded to system ground with four screws electrically.
Grounding noise should be less than 500mVp-p. The grounding noise
should be measured between electrical ground and system frame ground
without the drive. Grounding AC current (measuring between two of side
mounting holes) should be less than 50 mAp-p (Frequency Range: less than
12MHz). The grounding current should be measured through 50 ohm resistor.
: Mount with recommended screws and regular torque.
: Do not add Electrical Static Discharge, and Vibration and Shock to the drive.
Do not press top cover and bottom PCBA surface of the drive.
