2.9.6Vibration
All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.9.6.1Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards speci- fied in this document are specified below.

2.9.6.2Nonoperating vibration
The maximum nonoperating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below.
0.25 Gs (limited displacement) | |

2.10Acoustics
Drive acoustics are measured as overall
Note. For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined by the following equation:
(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time)

*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.
