Contact and Air Discharge 
Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test      IEC 61000-4-2 
HDD class: 
  Class 1: Highest performance, reliability, and data integrity 
  Class 2: A second tier of performance, reliability, and data integrity 
HDD I/O throughput degradation SPEC 
Pass/Fail Criteria: 
  No functional failure during test or post-test diagnostics. 
  Requirement to pass test is based on IOMeter data throughput (in IO’s per 
second) expressed as a percent of Test HDD maximum theoretical baseline 
performance
