1.15 Acoustics
This table shows the overall A-weighted acoustic sound power and sound
pressure levels for the drives. All measurements are generally consistent
with ISO document 7779. Acoustic measurements are taken under
essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. The drive is
oriented with the top cover up for all tests.
Overall A-weighted Value Idle Seek
Sound power, typ (bels) 3.6 4.3
Sound power, max (bels) 4.0 4.4
Sound pressure, typ (dBA) 30 34
Sound pressure, max (dBA) 33 34
1.16 Reliability
Read error rates are measured with automatic retries and data correction
with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated. The mean time between
failures (MTBF) is measured at nominal power at sea level and an
ambient temperature of 25°C.
