7.5Environmental limits

Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).

7.5.1Temperature a. Operating

The drive meets the operating specifications over a 41°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C) drive case temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.

The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 60°C. See Figure 10 for HDA case temperature measurement location.

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal case temperature. The rated MTBF is based upon a sustained case temperature of 104°F (40°C). Occasional excursions in operating temperature between the rated MTBF temperature and the maximum drive operating case temperature may occur without impact to the rated MTBF temperature. However, continual or sustained operation at case temperatures beyond the rated MTBF temperature will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability.

Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal case temperature values (see Section 11.2). To confirm that the required cooling is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case temperature of the drive.

b.Non-operating

–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive.

7.5.2Relative humidity

The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs.

a.Operating

5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 20% per hour.

b.Non-operating

5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity.

Among their product lineup, the Seagate ST2000NM0041, ST500NM0021, ST500NM0041, ST1000NM0001, and ST1000NM0021 stand out as reliable options tailored for enterprise environments and general storage needs.

The Seagate ST2000NM0041 is a 2TB 7200 RPM drive designed for high-performance workloads in data centers. One of its key features is the use of the SATA III interface, providing data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, ensuring quick access to data. This model supports advanced error recovery controls and features enhanced power management capabilities, which contribute to its reliable performance and energy efficiency.

Next, the ST500NM0021 and ST500NM0041 are both 500GB drives that cater to different consumer needs. The ST500NM0021 is a 5400 RPM drive, typically used in scenarios where lower power consumption is vital, such as in compact systems or external storage configurations. Its efficient design enables quieter operation, making it ideal for environments that require minimal noise. Conversely, the ST500NM0041 operates at a speed of 7200 RPM, making it suitable for more demanding applications that require swift read and write speeds. Both models utilize Serial ATA for connectivity, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems.

The ST1000NM0001 and ST1000NM0021 are 1TB drives that provide versatility across different platforms. Similar to their 500GB counterparts, the ST1000NM0001 features a 7200 RPM speed, optimizing performance for applications requiring faster data processing. In contrast, the ST1000NM0021 operates at 5400 RPM, designed for users prioritizing energy efficiency over speed, like in desktop and external storage solutions. Each of these drives supports advanced technologies such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which enhances performance by allowing multiple commands to be executed simultaneously.

Overall, the Seagate ST series hard drives offer flexible storage options for a variety of applications. With their robust features, including varied RPM speeds, power management, and compatibility with SATA connections, these drives cater to the needs of both consumer and enterprise markets, establishing Seagate as a trusted provider in the storage arena.
