The ST1000LM049-2GH172 is a hard drive from the Seagate Laptop SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) series. Here is the detailed information:
General description
The Seagate ST1000LM049 is a Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) that offers a combination of traditional hard drive technology and flash memory. This combines the large storage capacity of an HDD with the speed advantages of an SSD. This hard drive is specifically designed for laptops and other portable devices to offer a balance between capacity and performance.
Technical details
- Capacity: 1 TB (terabytes)
- Form factor: 2.5 inches
- Interface: SATA III (6 Gb/s)
- Speed: 5400 RPM (revolutions per minute)
- Cache: 64 MB (cache memory)
- NAND flash memory: Approximately 8 GB or 16 GB (depending on model) to speed up access times
- Seek time: Typically in the range of 12 ms (milliseconds) for data access time
- Power consumption: Approximately 1.8 W in operation and 0.5 W in standby
Functions
- Hybrid technology: The combination of traditional HDD and SSD enables faster access to frequently used data. The SSD functionality is realized by a flash memory that stores the most frequently used files and programs.
- Adaptive Boost: The SSHD automatically adapts to usage habits and stores frequently used files on the flash memory to optimize performance.
- Energy Efficiency: The hard drive is designed to minimize power consumption, which is especially important in mobile devices such as laptops.
Areas of application
- Laptops: Ideal for users who want a balance between storage and speed without the higher cost of a pure SSD.
- Ultrabooks: For lighter and more compact devices that benefit from the speed of flash memory while providing sufficient capacity for larger amounts of data.
- Small servers or workstations: The SSHD can be used in small servers or workstations that require a combination of fast access speed and high storage capacity.
Advantages
- Speed: Hybrid technology accelerates system performance in everyday tasks compared to a purely mechanical HDD.
- Capacity: Offers large storage capacity (1 TB), which is more than enough for most users.
- Cost Efficiency: More cost-effective than a pure SSD of the same capacity, while still offering improved performance.
Disadvantages
- Performance compared to pure SSDs: Faster than traditional HDDs, but not as fast as pure SSDs, especially when writing.
- Flash memory lifespan: The flash memory in an SSHD has a limited number of writes, although in practice this is usually not the main issue.
This SSHD offers a good mix of performance and storage capacity for many everyday applications and is particularly useful in systems where the cost of a pure SSD would not be justified.
