2.1Specification summary table
The specificatio ns lis ted in th is table ar e for quick reference. For de tails on spec i fic ati on me as ureme nt o r de finition, see the appropriate section of this manual.
*One Gbyte equals one billion 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.

2.7Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using
drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical rand om average of at least 5,000 measure ments of seeks between
random tracks, less overhead.
*Typical seek times (msec)Read Write
Track-to-track<1.0<1.2
Average8.59.5
Average latency:4.164.16
*Measured in performance mode .
Note.These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical
seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed the
noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that
include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

Barracuda 7200.7 Product Manual, Rev. N7
2.9Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.
2.9.1Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 8. Typical power measurements are based on
an average of drives tested, under nomi nal conditions, using 5.0 V and 12.0V input vo ltage at 25°C ambient
temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
• Seek mode
During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does
not execute a read or write operatio n. Serv o electr onics ar e active. S eek mode power repres ents the worstcase power consump tion, using only random se eks with read or write laten cy time. This mode is not typic al
and is provided for worst-case information.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is mea sured with the he ads on track, base d on a 16-secto r write followed by a 32-msec
delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-msec delay.
• Operating power and current
Operating power is mea sure d using 40 percent random s eek s, 40 p erce nt r ead /write mod e ( 1 wri te fo r e ach
10 reads) and 20 percent drive idle mode.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measur ed wi th th e driv e up to s pee d, wi th ser vo ele ctron ics act ive and with the heads in
a random track location.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the driv e accepts commands, but the dr ive is not spinning, and the ser vo and read/
write electronics are in power-down mode.
