6.2 AC power requirements
None.
6.3 DC power requirements
The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown below. Values indicated apply at the drive connector.
The standard drive models and the SED drive models have identical hardware, however the security and encryption portion of the drive
controller ASIC is enabled and functional in the SED models. This represents a small additional drain on the 5V supply of about 10mA and
a commensurate increase of about 50mW in power consumption. There is no additional drain on the 12V supply.
Operation at 6 Gb mode reduces the +5V supply load by 15mA with a commensurate power reduction of 75mW.
Note
There is no measurable impact to the 12V supply load when running at lower interface speeds.
