Operational Shock (max at 2 ms - typical) Read 70 Gs / Write 40 Gs
Non-Operational Shock (max at 2 ms - typical) 250 Gs
Vibration, operating 5–22 Hz: 0.25 Gs, Limited displacement
22–350 Hz: 0.50 Gs
350–500 Hz: 0.25 Gs
Operation Rotational vibration 20–1500Hz: 12.5 rads/s²
Vibration, nonoperating 2–500 Hz: 2.27 Grms ref
Drive acoustics, sound power (bels)
Idle 1.8 (typical)
2.0 (max)
During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the
SMART specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.
Performance seek 2.6 (typical)
2.8 (max)

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR)
*
0.87% based on 8760 POH
Maximum Rated Workload
*
Maximum rate of <180TB/year
Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the drive MTBF and impact prod-
uct reliability. The Annualized Workload Rate is in units of TB per year, or TB per 8760
power on hours. Workload Rate = TB transferred * (8760 / recorded power on hours).
