2.7Seek time
Seek measurem ent s a re t ake n wi th nom inal po w er a t 25 °C amb ient temperature. All tim es a re m easu red using
drive diagnostics. The specifications 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 random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between
random tracks, less overhead.

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.

2.9Power specifications
The drive receives DC power (+5V) through the interface connector.
2.9.1Power consumption
Power requiremen ts for the dr i ves are lis ted in the ta bl e on p age 8 . Typical power measurements are based on
an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.
• Spinup power
Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle re aches operating speed.
• Seek mode
During seek mod e, the read /write actuator arm move s toward a spe cific positi on on the d isc surface and does
not execute a read or write operati on. Servo ele ctronics ar e acti ve. Seek mode power is mea sure d based on
three random seek operations every 100 msecs. This mode is not typical.
• Read/write power and current
Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations
every 100 msecs.
• Idle mode power*
Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in
a random track location.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/
write electronics are in power-down model
