6.2 Power Save

The host can change the power consumption state of the device by issuing a power command to the device.

6.2.1 Power save mode

There are five types of power consumption state of the device including active mode where all circuits are active.

•

Active mode

Active idle mode

Low power idle mode

Standby mode

Sleep mode

The device enters the active idle mode by itself. The device also enters the idle mode in the same way after power-on sequence is completed. The subsequent mode transition changes depending on the APM setting.

(1) Active mode

In this mode, all the electric circuit in the device are active or the device is under seek, read or write operation.

A device enters the active mode under the following conditions:

•The media access system is received.

(2)Active idle mode

In this mode, circuits on the device are set to power save mode.

The device enters the Active idle mode under the following conditions:

•After completion of the command execution other than SLEEP and STANDBY commands.

(3)Low power idle mode

Sets circuits on the device to the power save mode. The heads are disabled in the safe state.

The device enters the low power mode under the following conditions:

•

After certain amount of time has elapsed in the active idle state (APM Mode 0, Mode 1 and Mode 2)

Upon completion of the power-on sequence

MHV2040AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2060AH, MHV2100AH specifications

The Fujitsu MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH, are renowned for their reliability and performance in the mobile HDD segment. Designed primarily for use in laptops and other portable devices, these drives integrate cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of today's data-intensive applications.

One of the hallmark features of the MHV series is its high data density, allowing for substantial storage capabilities in compact sizes. The MHV2060AH offers a storage capacity of 60 GB, while the MHV2080AH and MHV2100AH offer 80 GB and 100 GB respectively. The MHV2040AH provides a slightly more modest but still robust 40 GB of storage. This range of capacities ensures that users can select the model that best fits their storage needs.

The drives utilize the latest perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which enhances recording efficiency and increases data storage densities. This technology significantly optimizes the use of disk surface area, providing better performance and more reliable data access. Additionally, the MHV series incorporates an advanced actuator system that ensures precision head positioning, enhancing data integrity and reducing error rates during read and write operations.

In terms of performance, the MHV series maintains a revolutions per minute (RPM) rating of 5400, which strikes a balance between speed and energy efficiency, making these drives suitable for low-power applications. The drives are also designed with a low acoustic level, generating minimal noise during operation—a crucial factor for mobile users who prefer quieter devices.

Furthermore, the Fujitsu MHV series features a robust shock resistance design, allowing them to withstand the rigors of mobile computing. This makes them suitable for use in portable environments subject to vibration and physical movement, thus ensuring data security and drive longevity.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH represent a formidable selection of mobile hard disk drives filled with advanced technologies and features, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications in today's fast-paced digital world. With their combination of storage capacity, performance, and durability, these drives continue to serve as reliable solutions for users seeking efficient data storage in portable formats.
