146GB models in 6 Gbit operation
Typical power dissipation under idle conditions in 6Gb operation is 3.48 watts (11.87 BTUs per hour). 
To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 
19). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the corresponding +5 
volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis. To calculate BTUs per hour, multiply watts by 
3.4123.

Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on 
any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F 
(14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
7.4.1
Temperature
a. Operating
With cooling designed to maintain the case temperatures, the drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to 
131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 20°C per 
hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that these temperatures not exceeded. Air flow 
may be needed to achieve these temperature values (see Section 11.2). Operation at case temperatures 
above these values may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ensures that the case 
temperatures are not exceeded. Occasional excursions to drive ambient temperatures of 131°F (55°C) or 
41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. Air flow may be needed to achieve these tempera-
tures. Continual or sustained operation at case temperatures above these values may degrade MTBF. The 
maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperature for the rated MTBF is 122°F (50°C).
To confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA is provided, place the drive in its final 
mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure 
the case temperature of the drive.
