7.3 Power dissipation ST3300655LW/ST3300655LC For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 13.1 watts (44.70 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 3). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis. To calculate BTUs per hour, multiply watts by 3.4123. ) Amperes 1.800 1.600 1.400 1.200 1.000 0.800 0.600 0.400 0.200 0.000 0.0 ST3300655LC CURRENT/POWER vs THROUGHPUT (SCSI - LVD) Random 8 Block Reads 18.00 16.00 14.00 12.00 10.00 8.00 6.00 4.00 2.00 0.00 50.0 100.0 150.0 200.0 250.0 300.0 350.0 400.0 I/Os per Second Figure 3.
