The Hitachi HTS545050B9SA00 is an internal hard drive from the Hitachi Travelstar series. This series is known for its reliability and high performance in mobile applications such as laptops and portable hard drives. Here is a detailed description of this model, including the technical details, features and application areas:
1. Description
The Hitachi HTS545050B9SA00 is a 500 GB 2.5-inch hard drive that uses the SATA (Serial ATA) interface. It is designed to offer good performance while consuming energy efficiently, making it particularly suitable for mobile devices.
2. Technical details
- Form factor: 2.5 inch
- Dimensions: 69.85mm x 100.35mm x 9.5mm
- Application: Particularly suitable for laptops, external hard drive enclosures and compact desktop PCs.
- Interface: SATA
- Interface type: SATA II (3 Gb/s)
- Data transfer rates: Up to 300 MB/s (theoretical maximum speed of the SATA II interface).
- Capacity: 500GB
- This capacity provides sufficient storage for the operating system, applications, documents, photos, videos and other data.
- Rotation speed: 7200 rpm
- A higher rotation speed than 5400 RPM hard drives, resulting in better read and write speeds. This can improve system performance, especially in intensive applications such as gaming and multimedia editing.
- Cache memory: 16 MB
- Larger cache memory improves performance by quickly caching and accessing frequently used data.
- Bug fix:
- ECC (Error-Correcting Code): Supports advanced error correction to ensure data integrity and improve reliability.
- Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Typically over 600,000 hours, indicating high reliability and long service life.
3. Functions
- Performance: The 7200 RPM speed provides faster data transfer rates and shorter access times compared to 5400 RPM hard drives. This results in better overall performance for demanding tasks.
- Energy Efficiency: Despite the higher rotation speed, the hard drive is designed to use energy efficiently, resulting in acceptable battery life in laptops.
- Low noise: The HTS545050B9SA00 operates relatively quietly, making it more pleasant to use in quiet environments such as libraries or offices.
- Reliability and Durability: With advanced error correction and high MTBF time, the hard drive offers reliable performance and long life.
4. Areas of application
- Laptops: The HTS545050B9SA00 is ideal for use in laptops where the 2.5-inch form factor and high performance are advantageous.
- External Hard Drive Enclosures: Can be used in external hard drive enclosures to provide a portable storage solution. However, external enclosures should support SATA II interface.
- Compact Desktop PCs: Suitable for smaller desktop PCs or all-in-one systems that support a 2.5-inch hard drive bay.
- Upgrade from older systems: Can serve as an upgrade for older systems that require greater capacity and better performance.
5. Installation
- Installation in laptops or desktops:
- The hard drive is mounted in a 2.5" bay and connected via a SATA cable. Laptops often require a bracket to securely attach the hard drive.
- Connection:
- SATA interface allows easy connection to the motherboard or external enclosure. A good SATA cable should be used to ensure optimal performance.
6. Maintenance and care
- Data Backup: Regular backups are important to prevent data loss due to hard drive damage or other problems.
- Drive Diagnostics: Use Hitachi or third-party diagnostic tools to regularly check the health of your hard drive and detect potential problems early.
- Firmware Updates: Check Hitachi's website occasionally for firmware updates that may improve hard drive performance and reliability.
Summary
The Hitachi HTS545050B9SA00 offers a reliable and high-performance storage solution for a wide range of applications. Its combination of 500 GB capacity, 7200 RPM speed and a 16 MB cache makes it an excellent choice for laptops, external hard drive enclosures and compact desktop systems. With its high performance and energy efficiency, it is well suited for users looking for a balanced mix of speed, capacity and reliability.
