Here is a very detailed description including technical details, features and application areas of the WDC WD10EACS-22D6B0.
General Description
The WDC WD10EACS-22D6B0 is an internal hard drive with a capacity of 1 TB (terabyte). It uses the SATA interface and offers a mix of large storage capacity and energy-efficient operation. This hard drive is designed for use in desktop PCs, external enclosures and NAS systems.
Technical Details
1. Form Factor:
- 3.5 inches: The hard drive has the standard 3.5 inch form factor commonly used in desktop PCs and external hard drive systems. This allows for easy installation in appropriate enclosures and devices.
2. Interface:
- SATA II (3 Gb/s): The WD10EACS-22D6B0 uses the SATA II standard, which allows a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 3 Gb/s (300 MB/s). This interface is widely used and offers sufficient performance for many applications.
3. Capacity:
- 1 TB (terabyte): The hard drive offers a storage capacity of 1 terabyte, which provides enough space for large amounts of data such as documents, media and software. This is especially useful for users who need a lot of storage space.
4. Performance:
- Speed: The WD10EACS-22D6B0 operates at a speed of 7200 rpm (revolutions per minute). This speed ensures faster data transfer compared to 5400 rpm hard drives and enables better performance in read and write operations.
- Cache: The hard drive has a 32 MB cache. A larger cache helps to temporarily store frequently used data and improve the speed of data transfers.
5. Power consumption:
- Power consumption: When in operation, the hard drive typically requires around 6 to 8 watts, while when idle, power consumption drops to around 3 to 4 watts. The hard drive is optimized for energy efficiency, which lowers power consumption and reduces heat generation.
6. Design:
- Dimensions: The 3.5-inch hard drive has typical dimensions of around 147 mm x 101.6 mm x 26.1 mm (length x width x height).
7. Compatibility:
- Operating systems: The hard drive is compatible with common operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux and is usually recognized without additional driver installation.
- SATA Interface: The hard drive uses the SATA interface available in most modern desktop PCs and external enclosures.
8. Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The WD10EACS-22D6B0 has a mean time between failure of approximately 1,000,000 hours, indicating high reliability and durability.
- Error Correction: The hard drive is equipped with built-in error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and minimize data loss.
Features
1. Energy Efficiency:
- Low Power Consumption: The WD10EACS-22D6B0 offers low power consumption, making it energy efficient and helping to reduce operating costs.
2. High Capacity:
- Large Storage Space: With 1TB storage capacity, the hard drive offers ample space for large amounts of data, making it ideal for users who require large amounts of storage.
3. Powerful Operation:
- 7200 RPM: The 7200 RPM hard drive offers better performance in read and write operations compared to slower 5400 RPM drives, resulting in faster system boot-ups and more responsive data processing.
4. Quiet Operation:
- Noise Level: The hard drive operates relatively quietly, which reduces noise levels during operation and enables a quiet environment for workplaces or living spaces.
5. Error Correction and Data Security:
- Error Correction Mechanisms: Built-in mechanisms help ensure data integrity and prevent data loss due to damage or corruption of data blocks.
Application range
1. Desktop PCs:
- Primary drive: Ideal for use as the main drive in desktop PCs to store operating system, programs and personal data.
2. External enclosure:
- External storage: Can be used in external hard drive racks or enclosures to provide additional storage space for data backup and archiving.
3. NAS (Network Attached Storage):
- Network storage: Suitable for NAS systems designed to share and store data over a network.
4. Backup solutions:
- Data backup: Ideal for regular backups and securing large amounts of data, including business and personal data.
5. Multimedia applications:
- Media file storage: Provides sufficient storage space for storing and managing photos, videos and music files.
