Drive Specifications
2.10.1 Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)
Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this
process is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-
7) to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of
tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.
2.11 Electromagnetic immunity
When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in
performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in
Table 4.
2.12 Reliability - Annualized Failure Rate
The product will achieve an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.55% when operated in an environment of ambient
air temperatures of 25°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications shown in Section 2.9 may
increase the product AFR. AFR is a population statistic that is not relevant to individual units.
• AFR specifications are based on the following assumptions for consumer electronics environments:
• 8760 power-on hours per year
• 10,000 average motor start/stop cycles per year
• Operations at nominal voltages
• Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.9 may reduce the product reliability.
Normal I/O duty cycle for consumer electronics environments. Operation at excessive I/O duty cycle may degrade
product reliability. The consumer electronics environment of power-on hours, temperature, and I/O duty cycle
affect the product AFR. The AFR will be degraded if used in an enterprise application.
2.13 Warranty
To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page:
support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp
From this page, click on the “Verify Your Warranty” link. You will be asked to provide the drive serial number,
model number (or part number) and country of purchase. The system will display the warranty information for your
drive.
