2.9 Environmental specifications
This section provides the temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration specifications for Desktop HDDs. Ambient
temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Above 1000ft.
(305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 ft. Refer to
Section 3.4 Drive
mounting
for base plate measurement location.
2.9.1 Ambient Temperature
2.9.2 Temperature gradient
2.9.3 Humidity
2.9.3.1 Relative humidity
2.9.3.2 Wet bulb temperature
2.9.4 Altitude
2.9.5 Shock
All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive
mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.9.5.1 Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum
operating shock of 80 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2ms during read operations. Shocks should not be
repeated more than two times per second.
2.9.5.2 Non-operating shock
The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in
performance when subsequently put into operation is 300 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock pulse of
2ms duration.

Non-operating –40° to 70°C (–40° to 158°F)
Operating 20°C per hour (68°F per hour max), without condensation
Non-operating 30°C per hour (86°F per hour max)
Operating 5% to 90% non-condensing (30% per hour max)
Nonoperating 5% to 95% non-condensing (30% per hour max)
Operating 30°C (86°F max)
Non-operating 40°C (104°F max)
Operating –61m to 3048m (–200 ft. to 10,000 ft.)
