The ST310005 ST31000524AS is a hard drive from Seagate Technology that belongs to the Barracuda series. This hard drive is designed for use in desktops, workstations and possibly some servers. Here you will find a comprehensive description of the technical details, features and areas of application of this hard drive.
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 1 Terabyte (TB). The ST31000524AS offers a storage capacity of 1 TB, which provides ample space for a large amount of data, applications, and operating systems.
2. Form Factor:
- 3.5 inches. The common form factor for desktop hard drives. This form factor is common in most desktop PCs and many external hard drive bays.
3. Interface:
- SATA III (SATA 6 Gb/s). The hard drive uses a SATA III interface, which enables data transfer rates of up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s). This is the current standard for most desktop hard drives and offers good performance for typical applications.
4. Rotational Speed:
- 7,200 RPM (revolutions per minute). The ST31000524AS rotates at 7,200 RPM, which provides a balance between performance and power consumption. This speed is standard for most desktop hard drives.
5. Cache Memory:
- 32 MB. The hard drive has a 32 MB cache memory that acts as a buffer to improve performance by caching frequently accessed data.
6. Storage Type:
- Perpendicular Recording. The ST31000524AS uses Perpendicular Recording technology, which writes data perpendicular to the platter to improve storage density and performance.
7. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- 1 million hours (approximately). This value indicates the average time between failures of the hard drive and indicates high reliability.
8. Operating and Environmental Conditions:
- Operating Temperature: Typically 0 to 60 °C.
- Storage temperature: Typically -40 to 70 °C. These temperatures ensure that the hard drive will operate reliably in most environments.
9. Power consumption:
- Operating consumption: Typically 6 to 7 watts.
- Idle: Typically 4 to 5 watts. Power consumption is in the typical range for hard drives of this size and speed.
10. Noise level:
- Typically up to 2.8 sone. This is the noise level the hard drive makes while in operation, which is relatively quiet for a hard drive of this type.
Features
1. High storage capacity:
- With 1 TB, the hard drive offers plenty of storage space for operating systems, applications, data and media files.
2. Fast data transfer rates:
- The SATA III interface and 7,200 RPM ensure fast data transfer rates and acceptable read and write performance.
3. Large cache memory:
- The 32 MB cache improves performance for frequent data access by caching and faster access to frequently used data.
4. Low power consumption:
- The optimized power consumption enables use in energy-saving systems and helps reduce operating costs.
5. Reliability:
- The high MTBF and the use of perpendicular recording technology contribute to the reliability and longevity of the hard drive.
6. Low noise:
- The hard drive operates relatively quietly, which ensures more pleasant operation in office and home environments.
Area of ​​​​application
1. Desktop computing:
- The ST31000524AS is ideal for use in desktop computers, where it is used as the main storage drive for the operating system, applications and user data.
