The WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 is a hard drive from the manufacturer Western Digital (WD) that can be found in the Caviar Green series. Here are comprehensive details about this hard drive:
Technical details
1. Model Number: WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0
2. Capacity: 1 TB (Terabyte) – 1000 GB (Gigabyte)
3. Form Factor: 3.5 inches – this is the standard form factor for desktop hard drives.
4. Interface: SATA II (Serial ATA 3 Gb/s) – also known as SATA 3 Gb/s, supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 gigabits per second.
5. Rotational Speed: 5400 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) – compared to other hard drives which often have 7200 RPM, the speed here is lower, which results in lower energy consumption and less noise.
6. Cache: 32 MB – Cache is a fast temporary storage area used to store frequently accessed data to improve overall speed and performance.
7. Average Access Time: Approximately 8.9 ms – the time it takes the hard drive to access a specific data location.
8. Error Correction: This hard drive supports error correction technologies such as ECC (Error Correction Code) to ensure data integrity.
Features
1. Energy efficiency: The Caviar Green series is designed to be particularly energy efficient, which is supported by the lower speed of 5400 RPM. This reduces power consumption and heat generation.
2. Silent Drive Technology: This hard drive uses noise reduction technologies to make it operate more quietly.
3. Advanced Format Technology: This technology can provide higher storage density and improved data integrity. It uses larger sectors (4 KB instead of 512 bytes), which can use storage space more efficiently.
4. NoTouch Ramp Load Technology: The read/write heads will not come into contact with the disk surface during transport and when the hard drive is at rest, which extends the life of the hard drive and reduces the risk of damage.
5. SMART Support: The hard drive supports SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), a function for monitoring the health of the hard drive and predicting possible errors.
Scope
1. Desktop computers: With its 1TB capacity, the WD10EADS-00M2B0 is ideal for most desktop computers, where it can be used as the primary drive for the operating system, applications, and personal data.
2. Data Storage and Backup: The large storage capacity makes it a good choice for storing large amounts of data or for regular backups.
3. Home and office applications: It is well suited for general office applications, media playback, and for use in home PCs where speed is not the highest requirement.
4. Energy efficient systems: Due to its low energy consumption, this hard drive is also suitable for systems where energy efficiency plays an important role.
Summary
The Western Digital WD10EADS-00M2B0 is a 1 TB hard drive with a SATA II interface and a speed of 5400 RPM. It offers a good balance between capacity, energy efficiency and quiet operation. The built-in noise reduction and error correction technologies contribute to reliability and longevity. With a cache of 32 MB and an average access time of 8.9 ms, it offers adequate performance for most everyday applications.
This hard drive is ideal for use in desktop computers and data storage where energy efficiency and quiet operation are valued.
