6.4 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). Maximum Wet Bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
6.4.1 Temperature
a. Operating
With cooling designed to maintain the case temperatures of Table 3, Column 2, the drive meets all specifi-
cations over a 41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature
gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that the tempera-
tures at the locations specified in Table 3, column 1 are not exceeded. Air flow may be needed to achieve
these temperature values (see Section 8.3 and 8.3.1). Operation at case temperatures [4] above these val-
ues may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ensures that the case
temperatures specified in Table 3, column 2 are not exceeded. Occasional excursions to drive ambient tem-
peratures of 131°F (55°C) or 41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. Air flow may be
needed to achieve these temperatures (see Section 8.3.1). Continual or sustained operation at case tem-
peratures above these values may degrade MTBF.
To confirm that the required cooling for the Barracuda electronics and HDA is provided, place the drive in its
final mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize,
measure the case temperature of the components listed in Table 3 (see notes [2] and [3]).
Operation of the drive at the maximum case temperature is intended for short time periods only. Continuous
operation at the elevated temperatures will reduce product reliability.

Note.
[1] Section 8.3.1 describes the air-flow patterns to be used to meet case temperatures in column 2. Air
flow should be opposite that shown in Section 8.3.1. Air velocity should be adequate to ensure that the
case temperatures in Column 2 are not exceeded during drive operation.
[2] The temperatures in Column 1 are calculated and may not reflect actual operating values. Sufficient
cooling air may be required to ensure that these values are not exceeded.
[3] Measure HDA temp at point labeled “HDA” on Figure 4.

b. Non-operating
–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 45°F (25°C) per hour. This
specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with
drive.
