TOSHIBA MK2561GSYN ATA Device – Detailed Description
Product description:
The Toshiba MK2561GSYN is a 256 GB hard drive based on the ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) interface. This hard drive belongs to the 2.5-inch drive family and is designed for use in laptops, desktops and external storage solutions. It combines good storage capacity with solid performance and reliability.Technical details:
- Model name: Toshiba MK2561GSYN
- Capacity: 256GB
- Form Factor: 2.5 inch – The standard size for internal laptop and external hard drives.
- Interface: ATA (PATA, Parallel ATA) – An older interface for data transfer, but still used in many systems.
- Speed: 5400 rpm – This offers a balance between performance and energy efficiency.
- Buffer size (cache): 8 MB – The cache memory increases the speed of data access by temporarily storing frequently accessed data.
- Average Access Time: Approximately 12-15 ms – This is the time it takes to access data on the hard drive.
- Data transfer rate: Typically up to 90 MB/s (read) and 80 MB/s (write) – These values ​​may vary depending on system configuration and usage.
- Fault tolerance: Based on the robustness of the mechanical design and the built-in error correction mechanisms.
- Power consumption: The power consumption is in the range of 2-4 W (watts) when in operation and less when idle.
Features:
- Automatic error correction: Built-in mechanisms to detect and correct errors that ensure data integrity.
- Energy Efficiency: Operating at 5400 RPM reduces power consumption and heat generation compared to 7200 RPM hard drives.
- Shock resistance: The hard drive is designed to better withstand shock and vibration, increasing its lifespan, especially in mobile applications.
- Noise: Compared to conventional HDDs with higher speeds, the MK2561GSYN operates more quietly and vibrates less.
Areas of application:
- Laptops and Notebooks: Ideal for use in portable computers where a combination of capacity, energy efficiency and robustness is required.
- Desktop PCs: Can be used as a secondary drive for additional storage capacity.
- External Hard Drive Enclosures: Suitable for external storage solutions that use a 2.5 inch hard drive.
- Upgrade older systems: Provides a cost-effective way to expand the storage space of an older system or upgrade to a larger capacity.
