Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 ATA Device should be used.
The Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 is an internal hard drive manufactured by Hitachi (now part of Western Digital). This model belongs to the Deskstar series of hard drives and is designed for use in desktop PCs and other systems. Here you can find a detailed description, technical details, features and application area of ​​the Hitachi HDS721050CLA362.
Technical Details and Specifications
1. Product Type:
- The Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 is an internal hard drive. It uses the ATA (AT Attachment) interface, also known as PATA (Parallel ATA), to connect to computers and other devices.
2. Capacity:
- This hard drive has a storage capacity of 500 GB. This capacity provides enough space for the operating system, applications and personal data.
3. Form Factor:
- The form factor of this hard drive is 3.5 inches, which is the standard size for desktop hard drives. The size makes it ideal for desktop PCs, workstations and external enclosures that support 3.5 inch drives.
4. Interface:
- The Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 uses the SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s) interface. This is one of the older SATA versions that supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s).
5. Rotation Speed:
- The hard drive has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute). A higher rotation speed typically means faster access times and better data transfer performance compared to 5400 RPM hard drives.
6. Cache:
- The hard drive comes with a 16 MB cache. Cache memory serves as temporary storage space to temporarily store frequently accessed data, improving access times and overall performance.
7. Error Correction:
- The HDS721050CLA362 uses ECC (Error-Correcting Code) for error correction. This technology helps detect and correct data errors, increasing data integrity and reliability.
8. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- The hard drive has an MTBF of 600,000 hours. MTBF is a measure of the average time a hard drive can be expected to function before failure occurs.
9. Power Consumption:
- Power consumption is approximately 7.8W when operating and 6.6W when idle. These are typical values ​​for 3.5-inch hard drives and may vary depending on usage.
10. Physical Dimensions:
- The hard drive measures approximately 147 x 101.6 x 26.1mm (L x W x H). Exact dimensions may vary slightly, but these are typical dimensions for 3.5-inch hard drives.
Features
1. High Performance:
- With a rotation speed of 7200 RPM, the Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 offers good performance in data access and transfer. This results in faster loading times for operating systems and applications.
2. Reliable data integrity:
- The use of ECC for error correction helps minimize data errors and ensure data integrity, which is critical for important and sensitive data.
3. Cache Memory:
- The 16 MB cache improves performance by storing frequently accessed data, thus speeding up access to that data.
4. Energy Efficiency:
- The hard drive is designed to operate relatively efficiently, with moderate power consumption that reduces energy requirements while providing acceptable performance.
5. Compatibility:
- The HDS721050CLA362 is compatible with most desktop computers that have an available 3.5-inch bay and an ATA (PATA) interface, making it a versatile solution for desktop systems.
Application area
1. Desktop PCs:
- The Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 is particularly suitable for desktop PCs as they generally support 3.5-inch bays and ATA connections. The 500 GB capacity is sufficient for many standard applications and data volumes.
2. Workstations:
- For workstations that require high storage capacity and performance, this hard drive offers a reliable solution. It can be used for general tasks, data storage and running applications.
3. External enclosures:
- With an appropriate external enclosure, the HDS721050CLA362 can also be used as an external hard drive to transport data or provide additional storage capacity for other devices.
4. Backup solutions:
- This hard drive can be used as a backup solution to regularly back up important data. Reliability and data integrity are crucial here.
5. Spare part:
- In older computers that still use ATA interfaces, the HDS721050CLA362 can serve as a spare part for defective hard drives, as it can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
Conclusion
The Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 is a powerful and reliable 3.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of 500 GB and a SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s) interface. With a rotation speed of 7200 rpm and a 16 MB cache, it offers good performance for desktop PCs, workstations and as external storage. Error correction by ECC and moderate power consumption contribute to data integrity and energy efficiency. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including desktop systems, backup solutions and external storage options.
