SAVVIO 10K.6 SAS PRODUCT MANUAL, REV. C 23
[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter. Instantaneous +12V current peaks will exceed these values. Power supply at nominal
voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C ambient.
[2] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching 9,936 RPM. The ±5% must
be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection
by the host initiator.
[3] See +12V current profile in Figure 1 (for 900GB models) and Figure 2 (for 600GB models).
[4] See +12V current profile in Figure 3 (for 450GB models) and Figure 4 (for 300GB models).
[5] This condition occurs after OOB and Speed Negotiation completes but before the drive has received the Notify Spinup primitive.
[6] See paragraph 6.3.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes, noise, and transient response.
[7] Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads.
[8] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 30 seconds to a random location within the band from three-quarters to maximum
track.
