Seagate ST31000533CS manual Power specifications

2.7Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 2 on page 18.

2.7.1Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

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

• Operating (CE seek 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.

Table 2:	DC power requirements
Power dissipation (3-disc values shown)		Avg (watts 25° C)	Avg 5V typ amps	Avg 12V typ amps
Spinup		—	—	2.0 (peak)
Idle*		6.938	0.298	0.454
Operating		8.766	0.414	0.598
Standby		0.99	0.150	0.020
Sleep		0.99	0.150	0.020

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

2.7.2Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.

•Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

•Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

2.7.3Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):

5V +10% / -7.5%

12V +10% / -7.5%
