5. Buffer size:
- 2 MB cache. The cache memory is used to temporarily store frequently used data and improve access times.
6. Average access time:
- Approximately 12 ms (milliseconds), which describes the average time required to access a particular data location.
7. Power consumption:
- Typically for this type of hard drive, the power consumption is about 1.5 watts in operation and about 0.8 watts in standby mode.
8. Design:
- Height: 9.5mm. This is the standard height for many 2.5" hard drives and allows for easy integration into laptops and other devices.
Features:
1. Performance:
- The Toshiba MK4058GSX offers decent performance for its time, although not as fast as modern hard drives. The 4,200 RPM speed ensures quiet operation and acceptable data transfer rates for everyday applications.
2. Reliability:
- Toshiba is known for producing reliable hard drives. The MK4058GSX is designed for durability and stability, making it a good choice for use in laptops and portable devices.
3. Energy efficiency:
- The hard drive is energy efficient and uses less power than many desktop hard drives, helping to extend the battery life of laptops.
4. Compatibility:
- Thanks to the ATA-100 interface, the hard drive is compatible with older laptops and systems that support this interface.
Areas of application:
1. Laptops:
- The 2.5-inch form factor makes the MK4058GSX ideal for use in laptops. The hard drive offers reliable performance for most applications running in a laptop.
2. Portable devices:
- The low profile and energy efficiency also make this hard drive suitable for portable devices such as external hard drive enclosures, as long as the ATA-100 interface is supported.
3. Upgrade for older systems:
- The MK4058GSX is a great choice for upgrading older laptops or desktops that still rely on IDE interfaces and need a reliable storage solution.
4. Embedded systems:
- Due to its robustness and low power requirements, this hard drive could also be used in embedded systems where a reliable and durable storage solution is required.
Conclusion:
The Toshiba MK4058GSX is a reliable 2.5-inch hard drive specifically designed for use in laptops and portable devices. With a capacity of 40 GB, a 4,200 RPM rotation speed and the ATA-100 interface, it offers solid performance for the time it was produced. Its energy efficiency and reliability make it a good choice for various applications, although it is limited in terms of capacity and speed compared to modern hard drives. The MK4058GSX is particularly well suited for older systems or specific applications that require these technical specifications.
