7. Transfer Rate:
- Maximum data transfer rate: Approximately 140 MB/s based on SATA III interface and internal processing speed.
8. Access Times:
- Average Access Time: Approximately 14 ms, which is a typical time for a 5400 RPM hard drive.
9. Fault Tolerance:
- No Built-in Fault Tolerance: The hard drive does not provide built-in fault tolerance as found in RAID arrays or SSDs with redundancy.
10. Operating Temperature Range:
- 0°C to 60°C: The temperature range in which the hard drive can safely operate.
11. Storage Temperature Range:
- -40°C to 70°C: The range in which the hard drive can safely be stored without compromising data integrity.
12. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- 600,000 hours: The average time the hard drive should operate without failure.
13. Noise:
- Operating noise: Typically in the range of 23 dB to 25 dB, which is relatively quiet for a hard drive of this type.
Features
1. SATA III interface:
- High data transfer rate: With support for SATA III, the hard drive offers a high maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s.
2. Silent Seek Technology:
- Noise reduction: The hard drive is designed to operate particularly quietly during data access and seek operations.
