Start/Stop Cycles

50,000 This indicates the average minimum cycles for reliable start/ stop function.

R=0.9998@ >4500, R=0.9995 @ >7500, R=0.5 @ >= 50000

Data Reliability

<1 per 10e15 bits read

Data errors (non-recoverable). Average data error rate allowed with all errorrecovery features activated.

Component Design Life

5 years (minimum)

Component design life is defined as:

a.) The time period before identified wear-out mechanisms impact the failure rate.

or

b.) The time period up to the wear-out point when useful component life expires.

4.11EMC/EMI

4.11.1Radiated Electromagnetic Field Emissions - EMC Compliance

The hard disk drive mechanism is designed as a subassembly for installation into a suitable enclosure and is therefore not subject to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules (47CFR15) or the Canadian Department of Communications Radio Interference Regulations. Although not required, the disk mechanism has been tested within a suitable end-use product and found to comply with Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

The CE Marking indicates conformity with the European Union Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) when the disk mechanism is installed in a typical personal computer. Maxtor recommends that testing and analysis for EMC compliance be performed with the disk mechanism installed within the user's end-use application.
