The Western Digital WD20NPVT-00Z2TT0 is a 2TB 2.5" hard drive from the WD Blue series, designed for use in laptops and external hard drive enclosures. It combines large storage capacity with a compact form factor, offering good performance and reliability. Here are the comprehensive details about this hard drive:
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 2TB: The hard drive offers a storage capacity of 2 terabytes, which provides a significant amount of storage space for operating systems, applications, games, media and personal data.
2. Form Factor:
- 2.5": With a 2.5" form factor, the hard drive is compact and ideal for laptops, portable hard drive enclosures and other space-constrained applications.
3. Interface:
- SATA 3.0 (6 Gbit/s): The WD20NPVT uses the SATA III interface, which enables a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbit/s (600 MB/s). The hard drive is backwards compatible with older SATA versions (SATA II and SATA I).
4. Rotational speed:
- 5,400 rpm (RPM): The hard drive rotates at 5,400 revolutions per minute, which means lower performance compared to 7,200 RPM hard drives, but at the same time reduces energy consumption and minimizes operating noise.
5. Cache memory:
- 16 MB: The hard drive has a 16 MB cache, which improves performance by caching frequently accessed data and shortens access times.
6. Data transfer rates:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 140 MB/s
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 130 MB/s
- Maximum IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second): Typically in the range of 60,000 to 70,000 IOPS, depending on access pattern.
7. Error correction and data integrity:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): Supports SMART to monitor hard drive health and detect potential problems early.
- ECC (Error Correction Code): Uses error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and minimize data errors.
8. Operating conditions:
- Operating temperature: Typically between 0 and 60 °C.
- Storage temperature: Between -40 and 70 °C.
9. Power consumption:
- Operating power consumption: Approximately 2.5 to 3.5 watts.
- Idle power consumption: Approximately 0.7 watts.
10. Lifespan and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- MTBF: The hard drive has an average lifespan of approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 hours, making it a reliable choice for everyday use.
Features
1. High Capacity:
- 2TB Storage: Provides generous storage space for a large amount of data, ideal for storing media, documents and applications.
2. Energy Efficiency:
- Low Power Consumption: The hard drive is optimized for low energy consumption, which extends battery life in laptops and increases energy efficiency.
3. Quiet Performance:
- 5,400 RPM: The lower rotation speed reduces noise and vibration, resulting in quieter operation.
4. Reliability:
- Error Correction: Support for SMART and ECC ensures high data integrity and enables monitoring and early detection of potential problems.
5. Compact Size:
- 2.5 inch Form Factor: Ideal for use in laptops and external hard drive enclosures where space is limited.
Application Area
1. Laptop Computers:
- Primary Storage: Ideal for laptops where a large storage volume is required to store operating systems, applications and personal data.
- Upgrade: Can be used as a replacement for smaller hard drives to provide more storage space.
2. External Hard Drive Enclosures:
- Portable Storage: Can be used in external hard drive enclosures to provide a portable storage solution for backups, data transfer and additional storage capacity.
3. Backup and Archiving:
- Data backup: Particularly suitable for backing up and archiving data and media content, both in desktop PCs and external enclosures.
4. Compact systems:
- Small and slim devices: Ideal for compact and slim devices that have high storage requirements in limited space.
Summary
The Western Digital WD20NPVT-00Z2TT0 is a 2 TB 2.5-inch hard drive that connects via the SATA III interface and supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbit/s. With a rotation speed of 5,400 rpm and a 16 MB cache, it offers a good balance between storage capacity, performance and energy efficiency. Its low noise and low power consumption make it ideal for use in laptops and external hard drive enclosures, while its reliability and large capacity make it an excellent choice for storing and backing up data.
