G-Force Technology In Action

G-Force Explained

When a drive is bumped, knocked or dropped accidentally, the shock is measured not only in the strength of the shock (Gs), but also in duration of the shock (how long those Gs are experienced by the drive). The typical surfaces found in an installation or shipping environment usually produce shock durations of 2 to 12 milliseconds when a drive is knocked over. Shorter duration shocks (less than 2 milliseconds) are rarer, and can be much higher (hundreds or thousands of Gs) without causing major damage to the disc drive.
