Drive Specifications
*
All specifications above are based on native configurations.
** One GB equals one billion bytes and 1TB equals one trillion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity.
Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environment and formatting.
*** During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T.
specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.
†
Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained case temperatures above 60°C.
Operating at higher temperatures will reduce useful life of the product.
#
The operating case temperature is 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F).
The recommended measure location can be found in

Rated workload
Average annualized workload rating: <180TB/year.
The specifications for the product assumes the I/O workload does not exceed the average
annualized workload rate limit of 180TB/year. Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may
degrade and impact reliability as experienced by the particular application. The average
annualized workload rate limit is in units of TB per calendar year.
