Table 3: DC power requirements
Power dissipation (2TB and 1.5TB models) Avg (watts 25° C) Avg 5V typ amps Avg 12V typ amps
Spinup — — 2.0 (peak)
Idle* † 5.50 0.168 0.337
Operating (average) 6.80 0.360 0.420
Standby 0.500 0.350 0.010
Sleep 0.500 0.350 0.010
*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and
power to operational levels.
†5W IDLE with DIPLM Enabled
Note. Drive supports PHY layer power management. When enabled, a power savings of ~300mw can be achieved
in Idle, Standby and Sleep modes.
