    • Sustained Read: 11MB/sec. (CLV), 4.5 ~ 11MB/sec. (CAV)
    • Sustained Write:  9MB/sec. (CLV), 3.8 ~ 9MB/sec. (CAV)
  • Seek Time
    • Full Seek: 200ms
    • 1/3 Stroke Seek: 110ms
  • Buffer Memory: 16MB
  • MTBF: 50,000POH (90% reliability), 100,000POH (60% reliability)
  • Power Supply:  +5V/+12V
  • Power Consumption: 14W (average)
  • Weight: 2.6lb
  • Dimensions: 5.74. (W) x 1.62. (H) x 7.99. (D)
  • Mounting Orientation:  Vertical or Horizontal
