7.5
Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on
any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F
(14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
Note.
To maintain optimal performance drives should be run at nominal case temperatures.
7.5.1
Temperature
a. Operating
The drive meets the operating specifications over a 41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive case temperature
range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.
The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 60°C.
The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal
case temperature. The rated MTBF is based upon a sustained case temperature of 122°F (50°C). Occa-
sional excursions in operating temperature between the rated MTBF temperature and the maximum drive
operating case temperature may occur without impact to the rated MTBF temperature. However continual
or sustained operation at case temperatures beyond the rated MTBF temperature will degrade the drive
MTBF and reduce product reliability.
Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal case temperature values (see Section 9.2). To con-
firm that the required cooling is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical
configuration, and perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the
case temperature of the drive. See Figure 7 for HDA temperature checkpoint.
b. Non-operating
–40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This
specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with
drive.

7.5.2
Relative humidity
The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs.
a. Operating
5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 20% per hour.
b. Non-operating
5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity.
