Hard Disk Drive (HDD) disturbance noise

Scope:

To develop and maintain standards and technical reports for measuring air- and structure-borne acoustic noise disturbances that can degrade HDD performance.

Programme of work:

  1. To consider the measurement of air- and structure-borne noise affecting HDD operation.
  2.  To maintain liaison with the Open Compute Project (OCP) Storage/Dynamics group.
  3.  To monitor technological developments in sensors like microphones and accelerometers used to instrument hard disk drives and their surrogates.
  4.  To stay abreast with developments in the understanding of HDD dynamic phenomena.
  5.  To develop standards on the measurement of air- and structure-borne noise affecting HDD performance.
