The WDC WD1600BEVT-22ZCT0 is a 2.5-inch hard drive from Western Digital (WD) from the WD Blue series designed for use in laptops and portable devices. Here is the detailed information about this hard drive:
Technical details:
1. Model Number:
- WDC WD1600BEVT-22ZCT0
2. Form factor and interface:
- Form factor: 2.5 inches (standard size for laptop hard drives)
- Interface: SATA II 3 Gb/s (backwards compatible with SATA I 1.5 Gb/s and SATA III 6 Gb/s, but with a maximum transfer rate of 3 Gb/s)
3. Capacity:
- 160 GB
4. Speed:
- 5400 rpm (revolutions per minute), which means lower performance but also lower energy consumption and noise levels compared to 7200 rpm models.
5. Buffer size:
- 8 MB (cache) which helps improve performance by quickly caching frequently used data.
6. Service life and reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Up to 600,000 hours (depending on usage and conditions)
- Warranty: Typically 2 year limited warranty
7. Energy consumption:
- Power consumption: Approximately 2.3W when operating and 0.7W when idle, contributing to better energy efficiency in portable devices.
Features:
1. SATA II interface: Supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s, which is sufficient for many applications, but slower than SATA III.
2. 5400 RPM: This lower speed reduces power consumption and noise levels, making the hard drive ideal for laptops and other portable devices.
3. 8 MB Cache: The cache helps improve hard drive performance by quickly caching data.
4. Power Saving Features: The hard drive has power saving features that minimize idle power consumption, which is especially important for portable devices.
5. Quiet Drive Technology: Designed to minimize operating noise to ensure quiet use.
Areas of application:
1. Laptops: Due to its size (2.5 inches) and low power consumption, the hard drive is ideal for use in laptops where energy efficiency and quiet operation are important.
2. Compact PCs: Also suitable for small desktop PCs or HTPCs that support a 2.5-inch hard drive.
3. Backup and data storage: Good choice for additional storage capacity or backup purposes in devices that do not require quick access to large amounts of data.
4. Upgrade from older devices: Can be used to upgrade older laptops or systems with smaller storage capacity.
Conclusion:
The WDC WD1600BEVT-22ZCT0 is a reliable 2.5-inch hard drive from Western Digital designed for use in laptops and portable devices. With a capacity of 160 GB, a rotation speed of 5400 rpm and a SATA II interface, it offers a good balance between performance, energy efficiency and low noise.
