1.1 About the Serial ATA interface The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages: • Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jump- ers or other configuration options. • Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation. • Scalability to higher performance levels. The Serial ATA interface connects each drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. If two driv

2.6 Access time Access 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: • Page-to-page access time is an average of all possible page-to-page accesses in both directions for a sequentially preconditioned drive. • Average access time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of accesses between programmable pages, less overhead, on a random

2.8 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 2 on page 20. 2.8.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using +5V input voltage at 35°C ambient temperature. • Startup power Startup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive reaches operating condition and can pro

2.8.1.1 Typical current profiles Figure 1. Typical 5V startup and operation current profile 2.8.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. • Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 250 mV peak-to-peak sine-wave injected noise at a frequency from 100Hz up to 20 MHz. Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/w

2.9 Environmental specifications 2.9.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 60°C (140°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Above 1000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly to 112°F (44°C) at 10,000 feet (3,048 meters).
