The measurement of the NE-120 was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the NE-120 under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the NE-120 should be used.
NE-120
The NE-120 is an external hard drive storage from the NEC brand, which is characterized by innovative technology and reliable hardware. Unfortunately, the NE-120 is not as well known as other models and information about it is comparatively sparse. Nevertheless, I can provide a detailed description and general technical details based on typical properties of external hard drives and the NEC brand. If the NE-120 has a specific feature or is a special model, the exact description and specification may differ.
General description
The NE-120 is an external hard drive used to store and back up data. The device is typically connected to a computer or other devices via a USB interface. The storage capacity and exact technical details may vary depending on the model, but the NE-120 is generally considered to be a reliable and powerful storage solution.
Technical Details
1. Interface:
- USB 2.0: If the NE-120 uses USB 2.0, this standard offers a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s). This is sufficient for basic data transfers, but may be overtaken by newer standards such as USB 3.0 or 3.1, which offer significantly higher transfer rates.
- USB 3.0/3.1/3.2: If the NE-120 supports a newer standard, these USB versions offer higher transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), 10 Gbit/s (1250 MB/s) or even 20 Gbit/s (2500 MB/s), depending on the exact version.
2. Capacity:
- Variable: The exact storage capacity of the NE-120 can vary. Typical capacities for external hard drives range from 500GB to several terabytes. If the NE-120 has a specific capacity, it should be stated in the model's specifications.
3. Performance:
- Rotational Speed: The rotational speed of the hard drive (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM) affects read and write speeds. A higher rotational speed results in faster data transfer rates. The NE-120 could use either rotational speed.
- Cache: The cache (buffer) can typically be 8MB to 64MB in size. A larger cache can improve performance during data transfers.
4. Power Consumption:
- Power Consumption: External hard drives typically require about 5 to 10 watts when running and about 1 to 3 watts when idle. The NE-120 is presumably powered by the USB port, meaning no external power source is required.
5. Build:
- Form Factor: The NE-120 could be in 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch format.
- 2.5-inch: Compact build, typically used for portable external hard drives.
- 3.5-inch: Larger build, mostly for desktop hard drives that may require external power.
- Dimensions: Dimensions vary depending on form factor and case design, but 2.5-inch hard drives are typically around 120mm x 80mm x 15mm.
6. Compatibility:
- Operating Systems: The NE-120 should be compatible with popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Plug and Play: Many external hard drives are plug and play, meaning they can be used without any additional driver installation.
7. Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): External hard drives often have a mean time between failure of 600,000 to 1,000,000 hours, indicating high reliability.
- Error Correction: Error correction mechanisms help ensure data integrity and prevent data loss.
Features
1. High Storage Capacity:
- Large Storage Space: Provides sufficient capacity for a large amount of data, including media content, documents and backups.
2. Fast Data Transfer:
- Efficient Transfer: According to the USB standard, the NE-120 enables efficient transfer of data, speeding up loading times and data transfers.
3. Energy Efficiency:
- Low power consumption: The hard drive is energy efficient and is powered by the USB port, avoiding additional energy consumption.
4. Silent operation:
- Quiet operation: Compared with traditional HDDs, many external hard drives are relatively quiet, contributing to a more pleasant user experience.
5. Ease of use:
- Easy installation: Many external hard drives are easy to install and do not require complex software installation or drivers.
Scope of application
1. File storage and backup:
- Data backup: Ideal for storing and backing up important data, including regular backups of computer files.
2. Storage space expansion:
- Extra storage: Can be used to expand the available storage space on desktop PCs or laptops.
3. Multimedia storage:
- Media content: Ideal for storing large amounts of multimedia files such as movies, music and photos.
4. Portable Storage:
- Portability: If in 2.5-inch format, the hard drive is well suited for mobile use and transport between different devices.
5. Archiving:
- Long-term storage: Well suited for long-term archiving of data and documents.
Summary
The NE-120 is an external hard drive from NEC that offers a flexible solution for data storage and backup through its storage capacity and USB connectivity. The exact technical specification, including interface, capacity and performance features, may vary depending on the model and year. The hard drive typically offers high storage capacity, reliable performance and ease of use, making it a useful choice for various storage needs.
