Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part.
Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C).
2.6.1
Temperature
a. Operating
32°F to 149°F (0°C ambient to 65°C drive reported) temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per
hour.
The maximum allowable drive reported temperature is 149°F (65°C).
Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal drive temperature values (see
). To confirm that the
required cooling is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform
random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, monitor the current drive temperature using the SMART
temperature attribute 194 or Device Statistics log 04h page 5.
b. Non-operating
–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that
the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive.

Caution
To maintain optimal performance drives should be run at nominal drive temperatures and humidity.
Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained drive temperatures above 60°C.
Operating at higher temperatures may affect drive health.
See
for rated MTBF device operating condition requirements.
