4.4.2.4
Average latency
4.4.3
Drive ready time
Ready
The condition in which the drive is able to perform a media access command (for exam-
ple- read, write) immediately.
Power on
This includes the time required for the internal self diagnostics.
Note:
Max Power On to ready time is the maximum time period that Device 0 waits for Device 1 to assert PDIAG
4.4.4
Operating modes
Note:
Upon power down or spindle stop a head locking mechanism will secure the heads in the OD parking posi-
tion.

Write
Write operation mode
Read
Read operation mode
Performance Idle
The device is capable of responding immediately to media access requests. All electronic com-
ponents remain powered and the servo remains operational.
Active Idle
The device is capable of responding immediately to the media access requests. Some circuitry -
including servo system and Read/Write electronics - is in power saving mode. The head is
parked near the mid-diameter the disk without servo control. A device in Active idle mode may
take longer to complete the execution of a command because it must activate the circuitry.
Low Power Idle
The head is unloaded onto the ramp position. The spindle motor is rotating at full speed.
Standby
Actuator is unloaded and spindle motor is stopped. Command can be received immediately.
Sleep
TActuator is unloaded and spindle motor is stopped. Only soft reset or hard reset can change
the mode to standby.
