1.11 Advanced Power Management (APM)

Standby:

The spindle motor stops.

In APM Mode-1, which is the APM default mode, the operation status shifts till it finally reaches "Low Power Idle."

When the maximum time that the HDD is waiting for commands has been exceeded:

Mode-0: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.2-1.2, and to Low Power Idle in 15 minutes.

Mode-1: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.2-1.2 seconds and to Low Power Idle in 10.0-40.0 seconds.

Mode-2: Mode shifts from Active condition to Active Idle in 0.2-1.2 seconds and to Low Power Idle in 10.0-40.0 seconds. After 10.0-60.0 seconds in Low Power Idle, the mode shifts to standby.

Remark:

The default values of these settings are reflected in the WORD 91 values of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command. Also, the APM mode is initialized to Mode-1 (default value) by hardware reset and at power-off.

The above-mentioned is time until shifting to each power mode based on point that the drive becomes a command waiting state.

MHW2060AC, MHW2040AC specifications

The Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are notable hard disk drives (HDDs) that have been widely used in various computing applications, especially in laptops and compact devices. These models are part of Fujitsu's commitment to providing reliable storage solutions that meet the demands of modern computing.

The MHW2040AC offers a storage capacity of 40 GB, while the MHW2060AC provides a slightly larger capacity at 60 GB. This range of storage makes both models suitable for users looking for dependable space for documents, multimedia files, and software applications. Both drives utilize a 2.5-inch form factor, ideal for mobile computing, as they are lightweight and designed to fit into space-constrained environments.

In terms of performance, both drives operate at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM. This speed strikes a balance between power consumption and performance, making these drives an efficient choice for everyday tasks, such as web browsing and office applications. The drives are equipped with an interface of Ultra ATA/133, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to older models, thereby enhancing overall system responsiveness.

The MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC also incorporate several advanced technologies to bolster their performance and reliability. One such feature is the use of a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for the spindle motor, which minimizes noise and vibration, thus improving the overall user experience. Additionally, both drives come with error correction technology that helps maintain data integrity by detecting and correcting errors during read and write operations.

Moreover, these HDDs feature a shock sensor that can detect sudden movements, allowing the drive to park its heads to prevent data loss and hardware damage. This is particularly beneficial in mobile environments where the risks of impact are higher.

Both the MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are designed with energy-saving features, making them an environmentally responsible choice for energy-conscious consumers. Their low power consumption not only contributes to a reduced carbon footprint but also extends battery life for portable devices.

In summary, the Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are reliable, efficient, and user-friendly hard disk drives that combine moderate capacities with advanced features designed to enhance performance, ensure data integrity, and extend device longevity. These drives are well-suited for a range of applications, making them a solid choice for users seeking dependable storage solutions.
