2.1 Hardware Specifications
C141-E219 2-5
(*1) For detail condition, see Section 4.1.
(*2) Vibration applied to the drive is measured at near the mounting screw hole on the frame as much as
possible.
(*3) At random seek write/read and default on retry setting with log sweep vibration.
(*4) At power-off state after installation
Vibration displacement should be less than 2.5 mm.
(*5) Input voltages are specified at the drive connector side, during drive ready state.
(*6) High frequency noise (over 20MHz) is less than 100 mVp-p.
2.1.4 Error rate
Errors detected during initialization and replaced by alternate block assignments are not included in
the error rate. Data blocks to be accessed should be distributed over the disk medium equally.
(1) Unrecoverable error rate
Errors which cannot be recovered within 63 retries and ECC correction should not exceed 10 per
10
16
bits read.
(2) Positioning error rate
Positioning errors which can be recovered by one retry should be 10 or less per 10
8
seeks.
2.1.5 Reliability
(1) Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
MTBF of the HDD during its life time is 1,400,000 hours (operating: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
average DE surface temperature: 50°C or less).
Note:
The MTBF is defined as:
Operating time (hours) at all field sites
MTBF=
The number of equipment failures from all field sites
Failure of the equipment means failure that requires repair, adjustments, or replacement.
Mishandling by the operator, failures due to bad environmental conditions, power trouble, host
system trouble, cable failures, or other failures not caused by the equipment are not considered.
