Here you will find a comprehensive description, technical details, functions and areas of application of the WDC WD1600BEVT-75ZCT2.
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- Storage capacity: 160 GB
- This capacity is sufficient for use in laptops and as a secondary drive in desktop PCs. It provides space for the operating system, applications and a moderate amount of personal data.
2. Interface:
- SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s): The hard drive uses the SATA I interface, which allows a maximum data transfer rate of 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). This is an older interface compared to SATA II and SATA III, but still offers acceptable performance for many applications.
3. Form factor:
- 2.5 inch: The form factor is 2.5 inches, which is common for hard drives in laptops and compact desktop systems. The smaller form factor allows for use in devices with limited space.
4. Speed:
- Revolutions per minute (RPM): 5,400 RPM
- The hard drive rotates at 5,400 RPM, which offers a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. This speed ensures quiet operation and low power consumption, which is especially important for mobile devices.
5. Cache memory:
- Cache: 8 MB
- Cache memory temporarily stores frequently used data to increase access speed. An 8 MB cache is typical for hard drives of this size and speed and improves the overall performance of the hard drive.
6. Transfer rate:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 80 MB/s
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 80 MB/s
- These speeds are typical for a 5400 RPM hard drive and provide solid performance for everyday tasks such as file transfers and system usage.
7. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Lifespan: The MTBF value is typically around 600,000 hours. This gives an estimate of the average operating time before failure becomes likely and indicates a reliable hard drive.
8. Temperature range:
- Operating and Storage Temperature: The hard drive can normally operate at operating temperatures of 0°C to 60°C and be stored at storage temperatures of -40°C to 70°C. This ensures reliable performance under various conditions.
