The WDC WD10EADS-00P8B0 is a 1 TB SATA hard drive in 3.5-inch format. It uses the SATA II interface (also known as SATA 3 Gb/s), which is suitable for most desktop applications. This hard drive offers a balanced combination of capacity and performance and is aimed at users looking for large storage space at a reasonable price.
2. Technical details
Basic Specifications
- Model name: WDC WD10EADS-00P8B0
- Capacity: 1 TB (1,000 GB, approx. 931 GB usable, depending on formatting and system)
- Form factor: 3.5 inches
- Interface: SATA II (SATA 3 Gb/s)
- Platter density: Typically 500 GB per platter for a two-platter hard drive
- Cache: 32 MB
- Speed: 7,200 rpm
- Average access time: Approx. 8.9 ms
Perfomance
- Sequential Read Speed: Up to 90 MB/s. Actual speed may vary depending on various factors.
- Sequential write speed: Up to 80 MB/s. Again, the speed depends on the system configuration.
- Random Read Speed: Typically around 70-80 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).
- Random Write Speed: Similar to read speed, about 70-80 IOPS.
Reliability
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 1 million hours. This indicates the average time expected until a failure occurs.
- Warranty: Normally 1-2 years, depending on the seller and warranty conditions.
- Operating temperature range: Typically 0°C to 60°C.
3. Functions
- SATA II interface: Supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s (approx. 300 MB/s). This interface is backwards compatible with older SATA versions.
- 32 MB Cache: Larger cache memory helps improve performance by delivering frequently accessed data more quickly.
- Silent Operation: The hard drive is designed to be quiet during operation, reducing the noise level in the system.
- Advanced Format: Uses 4K sector size (compared to 512 bytes on older hard drives) to improve efficiency and facilitate error correction.
4. Scope of application
- Desktop computers: Ideal for desktop computers where large storage capacity is required, e.g. for gaming, multimedia content or data archiving.
- Backup Solutions: Can be used as a backup drive to store and secure important data.
- Cost-effective storage solution: Offers good value for money for users who need a lot of storage space without making a large investment.
- Multimedia storage: Suitable for storing large files such as videos, music and photos.
5. Additional information
- Compatibility: The hard drive is compatible with all systems that support a SATA II connection. It is also backwards compatible with SATA I and SATA III.
- Installation: Installation is done by installing the hard drive into a 3.5-inch bay in the desktop case and connecting it via a SATA cable and a power cable.
- Operation and cooling: Since the hard drive has no moving parts, it is robust and less susceptible to mechanical damage. Good ventilation in the case is important to avoid overheating and extend the service life.
