Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 ATA Device under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 ATA Device should be used.
The Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 is a 3.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) with a capacity of 500 GB. This hard drive was developed by Hitachi and is part of the Deskstar series. Here is a detailed description including technical details, features and application areas:
1. General description
The Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 is a powerful and reliable 500 GB HDD for desktop computers, workstations and other applications that require a large amount of storage space at a reasonable price. The hard drive uses the ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) interface, also known as Parallel ATA (PATA).
2. Technical details
Basic Specifications
- Model name: Hitachi HDS721050DLE630
- Capacity: 500 GB (approx. 465 GB usable)
- Form factor: 3.5 inches
- Interface: ATA/133 (also known as Parallel ATA or PATA)
- Platter density: Each platter has a capacity of approximately 250 GB
- Cache: 8 MB
- Speed: 7,200 rpm
- Average access time: Approx. 8.5 ms
- Transfer rate: Up to 133 MB/s (maximum value, depends on the ATA/133 controller)
Perfomance
- Sequential Read Speed: Approximately 70-80 MB/s. This speed is typical for HDDs of this capacity and type, but actual speed may vary depending on system configuration and file size.
- Sequential write speed: Approximately 60-70 MB/s. Again, speeds may vary depending on the type of data and system configuration.
- Random access: The access times of about 8.5 ms are typical for a 7,200 rpm HDD and offer an acceptable compromise between speed and cost.
Reliability
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 hours, indicating good reliability for desktop and workstation applications.
- Warranty: Typically 1 year limited warranty from Hitachi (may vary by region and model).
- Operating temperature range: Typically 5°C to 55°C. The hard drive should be operated in a well-ventilated enclosure to avoid overheating.
3. Functions
- ATA/133 interface: The interface supports a maximum transfer rate of 133 MB/s, which is sufficient for an HDD with this capacity and speed. It is backwards compatible with older ATA standards.
- SATA and PATA compatibility: Although the HDS721050DLE630 is a PATA hard drive, adapters are available to integrate it into SATA ports, providing flexibility for use in older systems.
- Cache: The 8 MB cache helps improve performance by caching frequently used data to reduce access times.
- Silent Operation: The HDD is known for its relatively quiet operation, although it still produces noises typical of mechanical hard drives.
4. Scope of application
- Desktop computers: Ideal for desktop computers where a combination of acceptable performance and high storage capacity is required. This hard drive is well suited for storing operating systems, applications and data.
- Workstations: Useful for workstations that require high storage capacity but do not necessarily require the fastest read and write speeds.
- Backup solutions: Can be used as a backup drive for important- Backup Solutions: Can be used
- Media Server: Suitable for media servers or network attached storage (NAS) solutions that require the storage and delivery of large amounts of data.
- Low-budget systems: A cost-effective option for budget systems where high storage capacity is more important than highest performance.
5. Additional information
- Compatibility: The hard drive is compatible with all systems that support an ATA/133 connection. It is important to make sure that the system or controller supports this interface.
- Installation: Installation is done by installing the hard drive into a 3.5" bay in a desktop case. The hard drive is then connected to the motherboard via an ATA cable (IDE cable).
- Operation and cooling: Proper cooling is important to extend the life of the hard drive and prevent overheating. As a general rule, the hard drive should be operated in a well-ventilated case.
Summary
The Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 is a reliable 500 GB HDD in 3.5-inch format with an ATA/133 interface. It offers acceptable performance for a wide range of applications, including desktop computers, workstations and backup solutions. With a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM and an 8 MB cache, it delivers solid performance for its capacity. This hard drive is a good choice for users who need a cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data without demanding the highest performance.
