c.Non-operating

The limits of non-operating vibration shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive shall not incur physical damage or degraded performance as a result of continuous vibration not exceeding

5-22 Hz @ 1.0 G (zero to peak)

22-500 Hz @ 3 G (zero to peak) Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Non-operating translational random flat profile

10 - 500 Hz

2.4 GRMS

7.4.5Air cleanliness

The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.

7.4.6Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.

Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corro- sive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulca- nized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

7.4.7Acoustics

Sound power during idle mode shall be 3.0 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.

There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.

7.4.8Electromagnetic susceptibility

Seagate has long been a key player in the storage technology industry, and its enterprise-class hard drives such as the ST9300503SS, ST9300403SS, ST9146603SS, ST9146803SS, and ST9146703SS stand out for their performance, reliability, and innovative features. Designed primarily for use in data centers and server environments, these drives offer a range of specifications suited for high-demand applications.

The Seagate ST9300503SS is a 300GB 2.5-inch SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive that operates at 10,000 RPM, which is essential for ensuring rapid data access. It provides a data transfer rate of 6 Gb/s and features Seagate's AgileArray technology, which enhances RAID performance and reliability by improving data integrity and optimizing power consumption. The drive is also designed to withstand the rigors of enterprise use, boasting a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1.6 million hours.

In contrast, the ST9300403SS offers a similar 300GB capacity and speed, but with slight variations in features that make it better suited for specific applications. This drive also supports SAS 2.0 and includes features that enhance error recovery and data protection.

The ST9146603SS is another powerhouse, providing 146GB of storage. Operating at the same high spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, it is optimized for low-latency performance. This makes it highly suitable for transactional applications and environments where quick access to data is crucial. Like its counterparts, this drive is built with robust technologies that ensure reliable operation and enhanced data security.

The ST9146803SS bumps up the storage capacity to 300GB while maintaining the same impressive speed and performance features. Its incorporation of Seagate’s SeaTach technology allows for advanced communication protocols, which facilitate faster data transfers and lower latency.

Finally, the ST9146703SS also offers 146GB of storage and is known for its energy efficiency features that reduce operational costs in large-scale deployments. All these drives support a wide range of operating systems, making them versatile picks for businesses looking to upgrade their storage solutions.

Overall, the Seagate ST9300503SS, ST9300403SS, ST9146603SS, ST9146803SS, and ST9146703SS are essential components in any enterprise environment, delivering high performance, reliability, and advanced technology features that meet the critical demands of modern data storage.
