Maxtor does not differentiate between various usage profiles. (.e. power-on hours, power saving modes, non-
operating periods or operating temperatures within the published specification.)
Start/Stop Cycles – 50,000 (minimum)
This indicates the minimum cycles for reliable start/stop function at a ≥ 60% confidence level.
AFR – 1.7%
The annualized average failure rate (AFR) applies to the period prior to the expiration of component design life,
and is based on failures chargeable to Maxtor. Determination of the AFR takes into account: a.) in-warranty field
failure returns less quality acceptance-related failures and b.) an AFR equaling an exponentially weighted moving
and average monthly failure rate multiplied by 12.
Component Design Life – 5 years (minimum)
Component design life is defined as a.) the time period before identified wear-out mechanisms impact the failure
rate, or b.) the time period up to the wear-out point at which useful component life expires.
Quality Acceptance Rate – 99.85% (<1,500 DPPM)
The quality acceptance rate indicates the percentage of Maxtor products successfully installed by our customers,
and/or the number of defective parts per million (DPPM) encountered during the entire installation process.
