*2 | Current and power level when the operation (command) that accompanies a | |||
| transfer of 63 sectors is executed 3 times in 100 ms | |||
*3 | Power requirements reflect nominal values for +5 V power. | |||
*4 | Energy efficiency based on the Law concerning the Rational Use of Energy | |||
| indicates the value obtained by dividing power consumption by the storage | |||
| capacity. (Japan only) |
