The WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 is a hard drive from Western Digital designed for use in external USB enclosures. This hard drive is part of the WD Elements series and offers a combination of large storage capacity and easy connectivity via USB. Below you will find a detailed description of the technical details, features, and application areas of this hard drive.
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 1 Terabyte (TB). This hard drive offers a storage capacity of 1 TB, which provides enough space for a large amount of data, including documents, photos, music and videos.
2. Form Factor:
- 3.5 inches. The 3.5 inch form factor is standard for desktop hard drives. Since the hard drive is designed for use in an external USB enclosure, this is the common form factor for such applications.
3. Interface:
- USB 2.0. The hard drive uses the USB 2.0 interface for data transfer. USB 2.0 offers a maximum transfer rate of up to 480 Mb/s (60 MB/s). This is sufficient for most everyday storage needs, although newer USB versions such as USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 offer faster speeds.
4. Rotation Speed:
- 7,200 RPM (revolutions per minute). The hard drive spins at 7,200 RPM, which provides good performance for desktop hard drives and allows for faster data access times compared to slower rotation speeds such as 5,400 RPM.
5. Cache Memory:
- 16 MB. The 16 MB cache memory acts as a buffer to improve performance during data access and write operations by storing frequently used data and allowing for quick access.
6. Storage Type:
- Perpendicular Recording. This technology is used to increase the data density on the hard drive by writing the data perpendicular to the platter surface.
7. Power Consumption:
- Operating Consumption: Typically 6 to 7 watts.
- Idle: Typically 4 to 5 watts. Power consumption is in the range for desktop hard drives and is optimized for operation via an external USB enclosure.
8. Noise level:
- Typically up to 2.5 sone. This is the noise level the hard drive produces during operation, which is relatively quiet for a hard drive of this type.
9. Dimensions and weight:
- Size: 3.5 inches (HDD standard).
- Weight: Depending on the model and enclosure, the weight may vary, but is typically in the range of around 600 to 800 grams without the enclosure.
10. Operating and environmental conditions:
- Operating temperature: Typically 0 to 60 °C.
- Storage temperature: Typically -40 to 70 °C. These conditions ensure reliable function under normal operating conditions.
Features
1. High Storage Capacity:
- With 1 TB, the hard drive offers enough storage space for a variety of data and is ideal for backups, media files and large amounts of data.
2. USB 2.0 Compatibility:
- The hard drive can be easily connected to any computer with a USB 2.0 port, making it a flexible solution for data storage.
3. Fast Data Transfer Rates:
- The 7,200 RPM rotation speed ensures acceptable data transfer rates and fast access times that are sufficient for most applications.
4. Plug and Play:
- The hard drive is "plug and play" which means it is ready to use immediately after connecting to a USB port without the need to install additional drivers.
5. Low Noise:
- With a noise level of up to 2.5 sone, the hard drive operates relatively quietly, making it suitable for use in quiet environments.
6. Energy Efficiency:
- The power consumption of the hard drive is optimized for efficient energy use, which is especially important when operating in an external enclosure that may also be powered by an external power source.
Application Range
1. External Backup:
- The hard drive is ideal for backing up data and as an external backup drive to store important files and documents.
2. Data Storage:
- It can be used to store large amounts of media files such as movies, music and photos.
3. Storage Space Expansion:
- For computers with limited internal memory, the hard drive can be used as an additional storage unit to expand the available storage space.
4. File Transfer:
- The hard drive can be used to transfer data between different computers, especially if they have USB 2.0 ports.
5. Mobile Storage:
- When installed in an external enclosure, the hard drive can be easily transported, making it a good choice for mobile use, such as taking projects and data with you.
6. Media Centers:
- Ideal for use in media centers to store movies, music, and other media files that can be accessed on different devices within a home network.
