[1]
Measured with average reading DC ammeter.
[2]
Instant12V current peaks will exceed these values.
[3]
Power supply at nominal voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C ambient.
[4]
For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching 7200 RPM. The ±5% must
be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection
by the host initiator.
[5]
See +12V current profile in Figure 3.
[6]
This condition occurs after OOB and Speed Negotiation completes but before the drive has received the Notify Spinup primitive.
[7]
See paragraph 6.3.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and transient response.
[8]
Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads.
[9]
During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from three-quarters to maximum
track.
