•Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.

•Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

•Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the first data cylinder to the maximum data cylinder and back to the first data cylinder. The full-stroke typical value is determined by averaging 100 full-stroke seeks in both directions.

Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times rep- resented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average) are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are format- ted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

1.6 Start/stop times

1.7 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.

1.7.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

•Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.
