• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

• Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32-ms delay.

• Operating power and current (CE profile)

Operating power is measured by simulating a typical PVR operating environment, using a 50% write, 50% read algorithm.

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a random track location.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/ write electronics are in power-down mode.
