SEAGATE LAPTOP ULTRATHIN HDD SATA PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. C 11
DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS
2.9 ACOUSTICS
Drive emission of sound is measured consistent with the ECMA-74 and its referenced standards. Testing is conducted at room
temperature (approximately 25°C). Emission levels are reported as the total A-weighted sound power levers for steady state, idle, and
active seeks modes of operation.
2.9.1 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 the lower limit for the threshold curve* 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.
*Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies.
2.10 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) environment as defined in Table 4.
IDLE
(1)
1. During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T.
specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.
