6. Search time:
- Average seek time: Typically, the average seek time is around 8-9 ms, which indicates the speed at which the read head can find the required data on the hard disk.
7. Power consumption:
- Operation: About 2.5 watts
- Idle: About 0.9 watts
8. Operating and storage temperature:
- Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C
- Storage temperature: -40°C to 70°C
9. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Approximately 600,000 hours, depending on operating conditions.
10. Noise level:
- Average: Approximately 25-28 dB(A), depending on usage and environment.
Features
1. High speed (7200 rpm):
- Improved Performance: The high rotation speed provides faster data access times and better overall hard drive performance compared to 5400 RPM hard drives.
2. 8 MB Cache:
- Optimize performance: Cache memory helps quickly access frequently used data and improve performance by temporarily storing data that is frequently used.
3. SATA interface:
- Flexibility: Support for both SATA I and SATA II provides flexibility in connecting to different systems and motherboards.
4. Energy efficiency:
- Low power consumption: With a power consumption of about 2.5 watts in operation and 0.9 watts in idle, the hard drive is energy efficient and helps extend battery life in portable devices.
