The WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 is a hard drive from Western Digital (WD) that belongs to the WD Green series. This series is characterized by its energy efficiency and quiet operation. Here is the detailed information about the WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1:
Technical details:
1. Model Number:
- WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1
2. Form factor and interface:
- Form factor: 3.5 inches (standard size for desktop hard drives)
- Interface: SATA II 3 Gb/s (backwards compatible with SATA I 1.5 Gb/s and SATA III 6 Gb/s, but with limited transfer rate to 3 Gb/s)
3. Capacity:
- 1 TB (Terabyte)
4. Speed:
- 5400 RPM (revolutions per minute), resulting in quieter operation and lower energy consumption compared to 7200 RPM hard drives.
5. Buffer size:
- 64 MB (cache), which helps improve performance by caching frequently used data.
6. Service life and reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Up to 1 million hours
- Warranty: Typically 2 year limited warranty
7. Energy consumption:
- Power consumption: Approximately 3.5W in operation and 0.8W in idle, making the hard drive particularly energy efficient.
Features:
1. SATA II interface: Supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s, which is sufficient for many applications, although the speed is limited compared to SATA III drives.
2. 5400 RPM: The low rotation speed reduces noise and power consumption, making the hard drive ideal for quiet and energy efficient systems.
3. 64 MB Cache: The cache improves overall performance by accelerating read and write operations by quickly caching frequently accessed data.
4. Green Design: The WD Green series is designed for energy efficiency, resulting in lower power consumption and longer battery life for laptops.
Areas of application:
1. Desktop PCs: Ideal for desktops where large storage capacity is desired and noise levels must be minimized.
2. Backup Storage: Suitable as a backup drive for backing up important data due to the 1 TB capacity.
3. Multimedia Applications: Perfect for storing large media files such as videos, music and photos as 1TB provides enough space for extensive media libraries.
4. Energy efficient systems: Due to its low power consumption, it is particularly suitable for systems where power consumption should be minimized.
Conclusion:
The WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1, with its 1 TB capacity and 5400 rpm speed, offers a good combination of large storage space, energy efficiency and quiet performance. The SATA II interface and 64 MB cache contribute to reliable performance, while the green design lowers energy consumption and reduces operating noise. This hard drive is particularly suitable for desktop systems, backup solutions and applications where quiet operation and energy efficiency are required.
