The measurement of the Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 should be used.
The Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 is a 2.5-inch hard drive typically used in laptops and compact desktop PCs. Here is a comprehensive description of this hard drive, including its technical details, features and application areas:
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- 500 Gigabyte (GB)
2. Form factor:
- 2.5 inch: This is the standard form factor for most laptop hard drives and is also suitable for small desktop PCs and external enclosures.
3. Interface:
- SATA II (3 Gbps): The hard drive uses the SATA II interface, which provides a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gbps. This interface is backwards compatible with SATA I and forwards compatible with SATA III, with performance limited by SATA II bandwidth.
4. Speed:
- 5400 RPM: The hard drive spins at 5400 revolutions per minute, which is typical for most laptop hard drives. This speed offers a good balance between performance and energy efficiency.
5. Cache memory:
- 8 MB Cache: Cache memory helps improve performance by buffering frequently used data to speed up access to that data.
6. Average access time:
- Typically around 12-14 ms (milliseconds), depending on the hard drive and the model used. Access time is the time it takes the hard drive to access a specific location.
7. Maximum transfer rate:
- Up to 300 MB/s: The transfer rate is limited by the SATA II interface. This is the maximum speed at which data can be read from or written to the hard drive.
8. Operating temperature:
- Typically from 0°C to 60°C
9. Storage temperature:
- Typically from -40°C to 70°C
10. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 hours, depending on the model and operating conditions.
Features
1. SATA II interface:
- Offers a transfer rate of up to 3 Gbit/s. While newer interfaces such as SATA III support higher speeds, SATA II is sufficient for use in laptops and older desktops.
2. 5400 rpm speed:
- Offers a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. 5400 RPM hard drives are quieter and generate less heat than 7200 RPM hard drives, making them ideal for use in laptops.
3. 8 MB Cache:
- Improves performance by caching frequently used data and reduces the need for frequent disk access.
4. Energy efficiency:
- The lower speed and lower power consumption make the hard drive more energy efficient, which is particularly beneficial for mobile devices such as laptops.
5. Low noise:
- The 5400 rpm speed ensures a quiet operating noise, which is advantageous for use in quiet environments or in laptops.
6. Robustness:
- Designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. The hard drive is robust enough for use in mobile devices and can withstand the physical shocks and vibrations that can occur in a laptop.
Areas of application
1. Laptops and notebooks:
- The Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 is ideal for laptops due to its 2.5-inch size, energy efficiency and quiet operation. It offers enough storage for most everyday applications and data.
2. Compact Desktop PCs:
- Also suitable for small desktop PCs that support the 2.5-inch form factor. These PCs benefit from the hard drive through lower power consumption and compact size.
3. External storage solutions:
- The hard drive can be used in external enclosures to provide additional storage options for backup or portability.
4. Upgrade for older systems:
- Ideal for upgrading older laptops or desktops that still use traditional lower capacity hard drives. The larger capacity and moderate performance improvement provide a noticeable improvement.
5. Backup and archiving:
- Provides sufficient storage space for backup and archiving tasks, especially for personal data and smaller workloads.
Conclusion
The Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 is a reliable 2.5-inch hard drive that is well suited for use in laptops, compact desktop PCs and external storage solutions. With a capacity of 500 GB, it offers ample storage space for everyday applications and data. The 5400 RPM rotation speed provides a good compromise between performance and energy efficiency, while the 8 MB cache improves performance by buffering data faster. The SATA II interface offers a solid transfer rate of up to 300 MB/s, although newer SATA III SSDs can offer higher speeds. The hard drive is suitable for a wide range of applications, from everyday tasks to backup and archiving, and offers a good balance between price and performance.
