The Hitachi HDS721010DLE630 is a hard drive primarily designed for use in external storage solutions connected via a USB interface. Although originally designed for internal use, it is often used in external enclosures to provide additional storage capacity via USB. Below you will find a comprehensive description of the technical details, features and application area of ​​this hard drive.
Technical details
1. Model and name:
- Model number: HDS721010DLE630
- Capacity: 1 TB (terabyte)
- Manufacturer: Hitachi
2. Interface:
- Interface: SATA II (3 Gb/s). Also known as SATA 3 Gb/s, this interface enables a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s (375 MB/s). The hard drive is backwards compatible with SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and SATA III (6 Gb/s).
3. Form Factor:
- Form Factor: 3.5 inches. This form factor is designed for use in desktop PCs and external enclosures and offers larger capacity compared to 2.5 inch hard drives.
4. Rotational Speed:
- Rotational Speed: 7,200 RPM (revolutions per minute). A higher rotational speed results in faster access times and better overall performance compared to slower 5,400 RPM hard drives.
5. Cache:
- Cache Memory: 32 MB. The cache is a fast temporary storage area that stores frequently accessed data to improve the overall performance of the hard drive.
6. Read/Write Speed:
- Maximum Transfer Rate: Typical transfer rates are around 100 MB/s to 140 MB/s for sequential read and write, depending on various factors such as file size and system configuration.
7. Error Correction:
- Error Correction: The hard drive supports basic error correction mechanisms such as ECC (Error Correction Code) to ensure data integrity and minimize the number of read errors.
8. Power Consumption:
- Power Consumption: The hard drive typically requires about 7.5 watts when operating and about 5.5 watts when idle. This may vary in external enclosures that have additional power management systems.
9. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Lifespan: The MTBF is about 600,000 to 700,000 hours, indicating high reliability and durability.
10. Operating System Compatibility:
- Compatibility: The hard drive is compatible with most modern operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11, macOS and popular Linux distributions.
11. Operating Temperature:
- Operating temperature range: 0°C to 60°C. The hard drive can operate in a relatively wide temperature range, making it suitable for various environments.
