Deskstar 7K500 and Deskstar E7K500 Hard Disk Drive Specification
52
7.2.2 Corrosion test
The drive shows no sign of corrosion inside and outside of the hard disk assembly and is functional after being sub-
jected to seven days at 50°C with 90% relative humidity.
7.3 DC power requirements
Damage to the drive electronics may result if the power supple cable is connected or disconnected to the legacy
power connector while power is being applied to the drive (no hot plug/unplug is alloweed). If SATA power supply
cable is connected or disconnected to the SATA power connector, hot plug/unplug is allowed.
7.3.1 Input voltage
1
To avoid damage to the drive electronics, power supply voltage spikes must not exceed specifications.
7.3.2 Power supply current (typical)
Except for a peak of less than 100 ms duration
1
Random seeks at 40% duty cycle
2
Seek duty = 30%, W/R duty = 45%, Idle duty = 25%
