2.7 Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temper-
ature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in
the table below are defined as follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in
both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented
in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track
and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However,
duetothemannerinwhichthesedrivesareformatted,benchmarkteststhat
include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results
that vary from these specifications.
2.8 Start/stop times
2.9 Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive
power connector.

2.9.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 10. Typical
powermeasurementsarebasedonanaverageofdrivestested,undernominal
conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the
drive spindle reaches operating speed.
• Seek mode
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific
position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation.
Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power represents the worst-case
powerconsumption,usingonlyrandomseekswithreadorwritelatencytime.
This mode is not typical and is provided for worst-case information.
•Read/write power and current
Read/writepowerismeasuredwiththeheadsontrack,based ona16-sector
write followed by a 32-msec delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-
msec delay.
• Operating power and current
Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent
read/write mode (1 write for each 10 reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo
electronics active and with the heads in a random track location.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not
spinning, and the servo and read/write electronics are in power-down mode.
