The WDC WD30EZRZ-00GXCB0 is a hard drive from Western Digital (WD) designed for use in desktop computers. Here is a detailed description of the hard drive, including technical details, features and application areas:
Basic description
Model: WDC WD30EZRZ-00GXCB0
Manufacturer: Western Digital
Type: Internal Hard Disk Drive
Interface: SATA III
Capacity: 3 TB (terabytes)
Form factor: 3.5 inches
Speed: 5400 rpm
Technical details
1. Interface:
- SATA III: This interface provides a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s). It is backward compatible with SATA II (3 Gb/s) and SATA I (1.5 Gb/s), ensuring wide compatibility with different systems.
2. Capacity:
- 3TB: With a capacity of 3 terabytes, this hard drive offers generous storage space for data, applications, operating systems and media files. This is especially useful for users who need to store large amounts of data.
3. Form factor:
- 3.5 inch: The 3.5 inch form factor is the standard for desktop hard drives and fits into most desktop cases.
4. Speed:
- 5400 RPM: This speed ensures low energy consumption and low noise compared to 7200 RPM hard drives. However, data access times and transfer speeds are slightly lower than with faster rotating hard drives.
5. Cache:
- The hard drive is equipped with a 64 MB cache. The cache serves as a fast temporary storage for frequently used data and can improve the performance of the hard drive by reducing access times.
6. Search times:
- Average access time: Approximately 8.5 to 9 ms. This time describes the average time required to find a specific data location on the hard disk.
7. Fault tolerance:
- SMART support: The hard drive supports the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) system, which is used to monitor the health of the hard drive and provide early warning of possible failures.
8. Power consumption:
- Typical power consumption: Approximately 6.8 watts when operating and 4.0 watts when idle. These values ​​may vary depending on model and usage.
Features
1. Low Power Consumption:
- Energy Efficiency: The hard drive is designed to save energy, resulting in lower power consumption and therefore better energy efficiency.
2. Quiet Operation:
- Quiet operation: The lower speed of 5400 RPM makes the hard drive quieter than higher speed hard drives, making it ideal for quiet work environments.
3. IntelliSeek:
- Optimization: IntelliSeek technology optimizes hard drive seek speeds to reduce access times and minimize noise.
4. NoTouch Ramp Load-Technologie:
- Protection: This technology ensures that the read/write head never touches the disk surface, protecting the hard drive from physical wear and damage.
5. Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tools:
- Diagnostic Tools: Western Digital offers a number of diagnostic tools to check hard drive health and troubleshoot problems.
Areas of application
1. Desktop-Computer:
- Ideal for desktop PCs where generous storage space is required to store large amounts of data, including operating system, applications and media files.
2. Office environments:
- Suitable for use in office PCs where high storage capacity for documents, emails and software is required.
3. Heim-PCs:
- Perfect for home PCs to store movies, music and personal data. The quiet operation also makes it suitable for use in quiet home environments.
4. Backup solutions:
- Can be used as a backup drive to back up important data stored on other systems.
5. Archiving:
- Useful for long-term data archiving as it can store large amounts of data at once.
6. Smaller Server:
- Suitable for smaller server applications or NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems that do not require extremely fast access times but require a lot of storage space.
Summary
The WDC WD30EZRZ-00GXCB0 is a reliable and energy-efficient 3 TB hard drive from Western Digital that features high storage capacity, low rotation speed and quiet operation. With a SATA III interface, a 64 MB cache and supporting features such as IntelliSeek and NoTouch Ramp Load, it offers solid performance for desktop computers, office applications and home computing. The hard drive is ideal for general storage needs, backups and archiving tasks, and is characterized by low noise and energy efficiency.
