This hard drive is designed for use in desktop PCs, all-in-one PCs and external enclosures. Here is a comprehensive description of the technical details, features and application areas of the ST2000DX002-2DV164:
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- 2 Terabyte (TB)
2. Form factor:
- 3.5 inch: The standard form factor for desktop hard drives, offering sufficient capacity for desktop PCs and other large storage deployments.
3. Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gbit/s): The hard drive uses the SATA III interface, which supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbit/s. The hard drive is backwards compatible with older SATA versions (SATA II and SATA I).
4. Speed:
- 5,400 RPM: The hard drive runs at a rotation speed of 5,400 revolutions per minute. This speed offers a compromise between performance and energy efficiency, ideal for data storage but not necessarily for intensive performance requirements.
5. Cache:
- 64 MB: The hard drive is equipped with a 64 MB cache that improves performance by acting as a buffer for frequently accessed data and optimizing data transfer rates.
6. Average access time:
- Approximately 8 to 10 ms (milliseconds). This is the time it takes for the hard disk to respond to a data query request.
7. Operating temperature:
- Typically from 0°C to 60°C
8. Storage temperature:
- Typically from -40°C to 70°C
9. Power consumption:
- In operation: About 6 watts
- At idle: About 3 watts
10. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Approximately 1,000,000 hours, depending on the specific operating conditions.
11. Shock resistance:
- In operation: Typically up to 70 G (gravity)
- Not in operation: Typically up to 250 G
Features
1. SATA III interface:
- The hard drive supports the SATA III interface, which enables a high data transfer rate and is backwards compatible with older SATA versions. This ensures broad compatibility with various systems.
2. 5,400 rpm speed:
- This speed offers balanced performance and energy efficiency, making the hard drive ideal for applications that require large storage capacity but do not require extremely fast access times.
3. 64 MB Cache:
- The larger cache helps improve performance by storing frequently accessed data and enabling fast access times.
4. Energy efficiency:
- The hard drive offers moderate power consumption, making it particularly suitable for desktop systems where energy efficiency is important without sacrificing performance.
5. Shock and vibration protection:
- Designed with protective mechanisms that protect the hard drive from shocks and vibrations, increasing its longevity.
