The WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 is a hard drive from Western Digital from the WD Caviar Black series. This hard drive is designed for desktop computers and offers high performance and large storage capacity. It is specially designed for users who are looking for a powerful and reliable storage solution. Here is the detailed information about this model:
1. General Description
The WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 is a 1 TB hard drive in a 3.5-inch form factor designed for desktop PCs and workstations. It offers high storage capacity and powerful performance suitable for a wide range of applications, from everyday tasks to demanding applications such as gaming and media editing.
2. Technical details
- Capacity: 1 TB (terabyte). This capacity allows you to store large amounts of data, including operating systems, applications, games and multimedia files.
- Form factor: 3.5 inches. This form factor is the standard for desktop hard drives and ensures compatibility with most desktop cases and computers.
- Interface: SATA III (6 Gbit/s). The SATA III interface enables a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbit/s and is backwards compatible with SATA II (3 Gbit/s) and SATA I (1.5 Gbit/s).
- Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). A higher rotational speed provides faster access times and better overall performance compared to 5400 RPM hard drives.
- Cache: 32 MB. Cache memory acts as a fast buffer that stores frequently accessed data to improve hard drive performance and reduce access times.
- Average Access Time: Approximately 8.9 ms (milliseconds). This describes the average time it takes to access stored data. A lower access time results in faster data access times.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 600,000 hours. This indicates the average time the hard drive can operate reliably before failure becomes likely, reflecting the reliability of the hard drive.
- Power Consumption:
- Idle: Approximately 6-7 W (watts).
- Under Load: Approximately 8-9 W (watts).
- Power saving mode: The hard drive uses power management technologies to reduce power consumption when it is not active.
- Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C. The hard drive can operate in a wide temperature range, making it robust against various operating conditions.
- Noise level:
- In operation: Typically 30-35 dB(A). Noise level may vary depending on usage and operating conditions.
3. Features
- SMART monitoring: Supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART), which monitors the health of the hard drive and reports potential problems early to prevent data loss.
- Advanced Format: The hard drive uses Advanced Format technology to optimize storage blocks and improve data structure efficiency. This can maximize storage capacity and improve performance.
- Acoustic Management: The hard drive uses acoustic management technologies to reduce noise and ensure quiet operation.
- Ramp Load Technology: Prevents physical contact between the read/write head and the hard drive when the hard drive is not in use to minimize wear and extend the life of the hard drive.
- RAFF (Rotational Vibration Safeguard): Prevents performance degradation caused by rotational vibration in multi-disk systems by balancing vibrations and ensuring reliable performance.
4. Application
- Desktop Computer: Ideal as the main hard drive for desktop PCs as it offers high capacity and good performance, sufficient for everyday tasks, games and applications.
- Workstations: Well suited for workstations that can benefit from fast data transfer and large storage space, especially for compute-intensive tasks.
- Secondary Hard Drive: Can be used as an additional or secondary hard drive in desktop PCs to provide additional storage space for data, applications, or backups.
- External Enclosures: Can be used in external hard drive systems to provide additional portable storage space for data, backups, or portable applications.
5. Special Features
- High Capacity: At 1TB, this hard drive offers ample storage space for large amounts of data, making it particularly useful for users who require extensive data collections.
- Good Performance: The 7200 RPM rotation speed and large cache ensure fast data access times and overall improved performance.
- Reliability: The long MTBF and advanced protection technologies contribute to the hard drive's reliability and longevity.
- Quiet Operation: Acoustic Management Technology reduces noise levels, which is beneficial in quiet work environments.
- Cost-Effectiveness: The WD1001FALS-00J7B0 offers good value for the capacity and performance provided, making it an attractive option for many users.
In summary, the Western Digital WD1001FALS-00J7B0 offers a powerful and reliable storage solution for desktop computers and workstations. With its high capacity, solid performance and advanced features, it is particularly well suited for users looking for a good balance between capacity and performance.
