Functions and features
1. 1TB Capacity: The WD10EZEX offers a capacity of 1TB, making it ideal for use in desktop PCs. It can store thousands of files, videos, photos and documents, and provides enough space for the operating system and multiple programs.
2. 7200 rpm: With a rotation speed of 7200 rpm, the hard drive is one of the faster HDDs that offer solid performance in terms of loading times and data access. This rotation speed ensures rapid processing of data and files.
3. 64 MB Cache: The 64 MB cache acts as a buffer and helps speed up data transfer. This enables improved responsiveness when accessing frequently used files or programs.
4. SATA III interface: The SATA III interface enables a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 6 Gb/s. Although the mechanical hard drive cannot fully utilize this speed, the SATA III interface offers excellent performance for desktop PCs and ensures fast data transfer.
5. NoTouchâ„¢ Ramp Load Technology: This technology ensures that the hard drive's read/write head never touches the surface of the platters. This reduces wear and tear, which in turn increases the hard drive's longevity and reduces the risk of mechanical damage.
6. Advanced Format (AF): The hard drive uses 512e (emulated 512 byte sectors), which improves data management efficiency and enables higher storage density. This is especially useful when using modern operating systems and applications.
7. Low power consumption: The WD Blue is designed for low power consumption, which is particularly beneficial for users who leave their desktop PCs running for long periods of time. When idle, the drive consumes about 3.3W, which contributes to efficient operation.
8. Reliability: With an average MTTF of 300,000 hours, the hard drive offers high reliability for daily use. Western Digital stands for long-lasting and robust hard drives, and the WD10EZEX is no exception.
9. Quiet in operation: At 21 dBA when idle and 24 dBA when in operation, the hard drive operates relatively quietly, making it particularly attractive to users who prefer quiet PCs.
