6.4.4.2Vibration

a. Operating—normal

The drive as installed for normal operation, shall comply with the complete specified performance while subjected to continuous vibration not exceeding

1-500 Hz @ 0.5 G (zero to peak)

Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

Operating normal translational random flat profile

10 - 400 Hz

0.4 GRMS

b.Operating—abnormal

Equipment as installed for normal operation shall not incur physical damage while subjected to periodic vibration not exceeding:

15 minutes of duration at major resonant frequency 10-500 Hz @ 1.5 G (X, Y, or Z axis)

Vibration occurring at these levels may degrade operational performance during the abnormal vibration period. Specified operational performance will continue when normal operating vibration levels are resumed. This assumes system recovery routines are available.

Operating abnormal translational random flat profile

10 - 500 Hz

1.2 GRMS

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 @ 0.040 inches (1.02 mm) displacement (zero to peak)

20-500 Hz @ 3.0 G (zero to peak)

Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

Non-operating translational random flat profile

10 - 500 Hz

1.2 GRMS

6.4.5Air cleanliness

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

6.4.6Corrosive 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 sshould be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

These drives are part of Seagate's Savvio and Barracuda product lines, aimed specifically at businesses and institutions requiring reliability, speed, and efficiency in storage solutions.

The ST973402SS is a 73GB, 2.5-inch hard drive, while the ST9146802SS offers a larger capacity of 146GB. Both models utilize a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, which significantly enhances their ability to handle fast data read and write operations. This speed ensures reduced latency and improved overall performance, making them ideal for environments where rapid access to data is crucial.

One of the standout features of these drives is their support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. SAS technology provides a point-to-point connection, which allows for increased data transfer rates compared to traditional SATA drives. The ST973402SS and ST9146802SS are capable of transferring data at speeds of up to 600 MB/s, facilitating efficient data transfers in enterprise systems.

In terms of reliability, both models offer advanced features designed to improve data integrity and durability. They are built to withstand high workloads, with an annualized workload rate of up to 550 TB per year. This makes them well-suited for applications like databases and transactional storage, where sustained performance is required. Additionally, the drives feature Seagate’s PowerFit technology, which optimizes performance while minimizing power consumption.

To enhance data security, the drives come equipped with self-encrypting technology, ensuring that sensitive data is protected through hardware-based encryption. This is particularly important in environments where data breaches can lead to significant operational impacts.

The drives are also designed to operate efficiently in terms of thermal management, featuring robust heat dissipation capabilities. This helps to maintain optimal performance levels while prolonging the lifespan of the drives.

Overall, the Seagate ST973402SS and ST9146802SS are robust and reliable hard drives that cater to the needs of enterprise environments, combining high capacity, exceptional speed, advanced security features, and energy efficiency to help businesses maintain and manage large volumes of data effectively.
