8 Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. F 2.7 Seek time Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows: • Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions. • Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead. Typical seek times (msec) Average Track-to-track Read/write Full stroke Read 12.5 0.3 15.5 26 Write 13.5 0.7 16.5 28 Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications. 2.8 Start/stop times Power-on to Ready (sec) Standby to Ready (sec) Ready to spindle stop (sec) 6.5 (max) 6.0 (typical) 10 (typical) 2.9 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard drive power connector.

Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temper-
ature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in
the table below are defined as follows:
Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in
both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
Note.
These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented
in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track
and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However,
due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that
include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results
that vary from these specifications.
