TOSHIBA MK2035GSS
The Toshiba MK2035GSS is a 2.5-inch hard drive (HDD) from the MK series by Toshiba. This hard drive is designed for use in mobile and compact devices, such as laptops and portable storage solutions. It offers a combination of reasonable capacity, energy efficiency, and solid performance suitable for a wide range of applications. Here is a detailed description of the model, including technical details, features, and application areas.
General Description
The Toshiba MK2035GSS is a 2.5-inch HDD with a storage capacity of 200 GB. It belongs to the MK series which is optimized for mobile devices. With a SATA interface and a compact form factor, this hard drive is well suited for laptops, portable storage solutions, and other devices where space and energy consumption must be considered.
Technical Details
1. Storage Capacity:
- 200 GB: The hard drive offers a storage capacity of 200 gigabytes, which offers enough space for operating systems, applications, and a moderate amount of data.
2. Form Factor:
- 2.5 inches: The hard drive has the 2.5-inch form factor which is typically used in laptops and external hard drive enclosures.
3. Height:
- 9.5 mm: The hard drive has a height of 9.5 mm, making it a standard size for most laptops. It will fit into most 2.5 inch bays.
4. Interface:
- SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) / SATA II (3 Gb/s): The MK2035GSS uses a SATA interface that can support both SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and SATA II (3 Gb/s). This allows a data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s, depending on system compatibility.
5. Rotational Speed:
- 4200 RPM: The hard drive has a rotational speed of 4200 rpm (revolutions per minute). This is lower than the 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM of higher performance hard drives and results in better energy efficiency and lower noise.
6. Cache:
- 8 MB: The hard drive has an 8 MB cache memory that temporarily stores frequently accessed data to improve performance.
7. Throughput Rate:
- Data Transfer Rate: The maximum data transfer rate is typically in the range of 50 MB/s to 80 MB/s, depending on usage and the specific system.
8. Error Correction:
- ECC (Error-Correcting Code): The hard drive uses ECC for error correction to ensure data integrity.
9. Operating Temperature:
- Operating Temperature Range: Typically 5 °C to 60 °C, which is suitable for operation in various environments.
10. Power Consumption:
- Power Consumption: When operating, power consumption is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 watts, while when idle, it is approximately 0.5 to 1 watt. This contributes to energy efficiency.
11. Noise Level:
- Quiet Operation: Due to the low speed of 4200 RPM, the hard drive is particularly quiet, making it ideal for environments where low noise is important.
12. Warranty:
- Warranty: The warranty period for this model is typically 2 years.
Features
1. Energy Efficiency:
- Energy Optimization: The low speed of 4200 RPM reduces energy consumption, which is particularly beneficial for mobile devices and laptops.
2. Noise Reduction:
- Quiet Operation: The low speed contributes to quiet operation, which is beneficial in quiet work environments or when used in quiet devices.
3. Reliability:
- Error Correction and Error Detection: The hard drive uses ECC technology to detect and correct errors to protect data integrity.
4. Compatibility:
- SATA interface: Support for both SATA I and SATA II enables broad compatibility with various systems.
Application area
1. Laptops:
- Mobile storage: Ideal for use in laptops where a combination of energy efficiency and sufficient storage capacity is required.
2. Portable storage solutions:
- External hard drives: Can be used in external enclosures to provide additional storage options.
3. Compact systems:
- Compact and portable devices: Due to its size and energy efficiency, the hard drive is also suitable for compact systems such as portable notebooks and ultra-thin devices.
4. Backup solutions:
- Data Backup: Suitable for regular data backups and as additional storage space for personal and business data.
5. Multimedia Devices:
- Media Storage: Provides ample space for storing photos, music and videos.
Summary
The Toshiba MK2035GSS is a 2.5-inch HDD with a storage capacity of 200 GB that uses a SATA I/II interface and has a rotation speed of 4200 RPM. With an 8 MB cache, quiet operation, energy efficiency and reliable error correction, it offers solid performance for laptops, portable storage solutions and compact systems. Its energy efficiency and quiet operation make it particularly suitable for mobile devices and quiet work environments.
