The Hitachi HTS543225A7A384 is a 2.5-inch hard drive designed for use in laptops, portable computers and external storage solutions. This hard drive belongs to the Hitachi Travelstar series and offers a combination of high capacity, reliability and performance. Here are the detailed technical specifications, features and application areas:
General Description
The Hitachi HTS543225A7A384 is an internal hard drive with a storage capacity of 250 GB. It uses the SATA-II (SATA 3Gb/s) interface to connect to the computer, and offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for data storage and system upgrades in portable devices.
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 250 GB: The hard drive offers 250 gigabytes of storage capacity, enough for operating systems, programs, documents and media files.
2. Form Factor:
- 2.5 inches: This size is standard for laptop hard drives and external drives. It is compact and fits in most laptops and portable devices.
3. Interface:
- SATA II (SATA 3 Gb/s): The SATA II interface enables data transfer rates of up to 3 Gb/s, ensuring a fast connection to the computer. However, the hard drive is backwards compatible with SATA I.
4. Rotational Speed:
- 5400 RPM (revolutions per minute): With 5400 revolutions per minute, the hard drive offers balanced performance for everyday applications and moderate data transfers. A higher rotational speed (eg 7200 RPM) would increase performance, but this hard drive is optimized for 5400 RPM to offer better energy efficiency and lower noise levels.
5. Cache Memory:
- 8 MB: The cache (also known as a buffer) is a fast memory area used to temporarily store data to improve access times and increase performance.
6. Fault Tolerance:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): Supports SMART features to monitor drive health and detect possible errors or failures early.
7. Data Transfer Rate:
- Maximum transfer rate of 3 Gb/s: This speed is limited by the SATA II interface and allows adequate performance for most applications.
8. Power Consumption:
- Typical 1.8 W (operating), 0.6 W (idle): Power consumption is relatively low, which contributes to better energy efficiency and is especially important for portable devices where battery life is a concern.
9. Operating Temperature:
- 5°C to 50°C: The hard drive can operate in a wide temperature range, making it suitable for various environments.
10. Operating noise:
- Typical 25 dB(A): The hard drive operates relatively quietly, which makes it easier to use in noise-sensitive environments, such as in the office or home office.
Features
1. Energy efficiency:
- Thanks to its low power consumption when idle and in operation, the hard drive helps extend the battery life of laptops and reduces energy consumption in desktop systems.
2. Reliability:
- The HTS543225A7A384 uses robust technologies to ensure data integrity and longevity. Support for SMART enables the drive status to be monitored and helps to identify potential problems at an early stage.
3. Performance:
- The 5400 RPM rotation speed offers balanced performance for everyday tasks such as Internet browsing, word processing and data management.
4. Compact design:
- The 2.5-inch form factor makes the hard drive ideal for use in laptops and portable devices where space and weight are important factors.
5. Compatibility:
- With SATA-II interface, the hard drive is compatible with a wide range of computers and external enclosures that support SATA-I or SATA-II.
Application Areas
1. Laptop Storage Upgrade:
- Ideal for upgrading older laptops to provide additional storage space and improve performance in daily tasks.
2. External Storage Solutions:
- Can be used in external hard drive shells to provide portable storage solutions for data backup, media libraries or data migration.
3. Backup Drive:
- Suitable as an external backup drive to back up important data and files.
4. Desktop Systems:
- Can be used as a secondary drive in desktop computers to provide additional storage space for programs, games and media files.
5. Cost-Effective Storage Solution:
- The great price-performance ratio makes the HTS543225A7A384 a cost-effective solution for users who need reliable storage space at an affordable price.
Summary
The Hitachi HTS543225A7A384 is a 250GB, 2.5-inch SATA-II hard drive with a rotation speed of 5400 RPM and an 8MB cache. It offers a good combination of capacity, performance and energy efficiency for use in laptops, external hard drive shells and desktop systems. Its support for SMART monitors the health of the hard drive and contributes to data integrity. With its compact form factor and reliability, this hard drive is suitable for a wide range of applications and offers a cost-effective solution for everyday storage needs.
