The WDC WD15EURS-73S48Y0 is an internal hard drive from Western Digital (WD) that has been specifically designed for use in surveillance systems and data storage solutions. It is part of the WD AV-GP series, which is optimized for high reliability and long operating times, making it particularly suitable for applications such as video surveillance and continuous data recording.
General description
The WDC WD15EURS-73S48Y0 is a 3.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of 1.5 TB (terabytes). It uses the SATA interface and is designed for continuous operation in surveillance systems and similar applications. This hard drive is designed to offer high reliability and performance in 24/7 operation.
Technical Details
1. Form Factor:
- 3.5 inches: The 3.5 inch form factor is the standard for desktop hard drives and is suitable for desktop PCs, servers and other systems that have space for larger drives.
2. Interface:
- SATA II (3 Gb/s): The hard drive uses the SATA II standard, which allows a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 3 Gb/s (300 MB/s). This standard is sufficient for most applications, although newer SATA standards offer higher transfer rates.
3. Capacity:
- 1.5 TB (terabytes): The hard drive offers 1.5 terabytes of storage space, which provides enough space for large amounts of data such as video surveillance recordings, backups and other data storage needs.
4. Performance:
- Speed: The WD15EURS-73S48Y0 operates at a speed of 5400 rpm (revolutions per minute). Compared to 7200 RPM hard drives, it is slightly slower but offers the advantage of lower power consumption and less heat generation, making it ideal for continuous operation in surveillance systems.
- Cache: The hard drive has a 64 MB cache. A larger cache improves performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, thus speeding up read and write operations.
5. Power consumption:
- Power consumption: When in operation, the hard drive typically requires around 6 to 8 watts, while when idle, consumption drops to around 3 to 4 watts. The lower heat generation and reduced power consumption make it ideal for continuous operation in surveillance systems.
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. It should be recognized without any special driver installation.
- SATA Interface: The hard drive uses the SATA interface available in most modern PCs and servers.
8. Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The WD15EURS-73S48Y0 has a mean time to failure of approximately 1,000,000 hours, indicating high reliability.
- Error Correction: The hard drive is equipped with error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and prevent data loss.
Features
1. Optimized for Surveillance:
- 24/7 Operation: The hard drive is designed for continuous operation and is particularly well suited for surveillance applications that record data around the clock.
2. High Reliability:
- Long Lifespan: The hard drive offers high reliability and long lifespan, making it ideal for applications that require consistent performance over extended periods of time.
3. Energy efficiency:
- Low power consumption: Thanks to the 5400 rpm speed and energy efficient technology, the hard drive offers lower power consumption and less heat generation, which is beneficial for operation in environmentally friendly and energy efficient systems.
4. Noise level:
- Quiet operation: The hard drive operates relatively quietly, which reduces the noise level in offices or other environments where low noise levels are desired.
5. Error correction and data integrity:
- Error correction mechanisms: Integrated error correction mechanisms help ensure data integrity and prevent data loss due to corrupt data blocks or other problems.
Area of ​​application
1. Video surveillance systems:
- Data recording: Ideal for storing video recordings in surveillance systems as it is optimized for continuous operation and offers high reliability.
2. Desktop PCs:
- Storage Expansion: Can be used as a main or additional drive in desktop PCs to expand storage space.
3. NAS (Network Attached Storage):
- Network Attached Storage: Can be used in NAS systems designed to store and share data over a network.
4. Backup Solutions:
- Data Protection: Ideal for securing large amounts of data, including regular backups and archiving of data.
5. Archiving:
- Long-term storage: Well suited for long-term data archiving where reliable and continuous storage is important.
