The Western Digital WD5000LPVX-75V0TT0 is a 500GB 2.5-inch hard drive from Western Digital's WD Blue series, designed for use in laptops, portable hard drive enclosures, and other space-constrained applications. Here are the comprehensive details about the technical specifications, features, and application areas of this hard drive:
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 500GB: The hard drive offers a storage capacity of 500 gigabytes, which provides enough space for operating systems, applications, media files, and personal data.
2. Form Factor:
- 2.5 inches: This hard drive has a 2.5-inch form factor that is optimized for laptops and portable external hard drive enclosures. The compact form factor allows it to be used in devices where space is limited.
3. Interface:
- SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps): The WD5000LPVX-75V0TT0 uses the SATA III interface, which allows a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps (600 MB/s). The hard drive is backwards compatible with older SATA versions (SATA II and SATA I).
4. Rotational Speed:
- 5,400 RPM: The hard drive rotates at 5,400 revolutions per minute, making it more energy efficient and quieter than 7,200 RPM hard drives. However, this results in lower performance compared to higher spinning models.
5. Cache Memory:
- 16 MB: Equipped with a 16 MB cache that acts as a fast buffer to store frequently accessed data, thus improving access speed and performance.
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 the access pattern and conditions of the system.
7. Error correction and data integrity:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): Supports SMART technology that monitors the health of the hard drive and warns of potential problems.
- ECC (Error Correction Code): Uses error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and prevent data errors.
8. Operating conditions:
- Operating temperature: Typically between 0 and 60 °C.
- Storage temperature: Between -40 and 70 °C.
9. Power consumption:
- Power consumption during operation: Approximately 2.5 to 3 watts.
- Power consumption when idle: Approximately 0.6 to 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 for the Form Factor:
- 500GB Storage: Provides ample space for a variety of applications, operating systems and personal data, ideal for laptops and portable systems.
2. Energy Efficiency:
- 5,400 RPM: The lower energy consumption of the 5,400 RPM rotation speed reduces power consumption and increases battery life of laptops while minimizing heat generation.
3. Quiet Performance:
- Low Noise: The hard drive runs quieter than many 7,200 RPM models, making it ideal for environments where low noise levels are important.
4. Reliability:
- Error correction and monitoring: Support for SMART and ECC ensures high data integrity and enables early detection and prevention of possible hard drive errors.
5. Compatibility:
- SATA III: The hard drive is compatible with the latest SATA III interface, but also backwards compatible with older versions, making it versatile.
Application range
1. Laptop computers:
- Primary storage: Ideal for laptops where large storage capacity is required in limited space. It is suitable for operating systems, applications and media content.
- Upgrade: Can be used as an upgrade for older or smaller hard drives to provide more storage space and improved performance.
2. External hard drive enclosures:
- Portable storage: Suitable for use in external hard drive enclosures to provide portable storage for backups, data transfer and additional capacity.
3. Backup and Archiving:
- Data Backup: Ideal for backing up data and media files, both in desktop PCs and external enclosures. It offers a reliable solution for storing important data.
4. Compact Systems:
- Smaller Systems: Perfect for compact desktop systems or home office applications that need additional storage in limited space.
Summary
The Western Digital WD5000LPVX-75V0TT0 is a 500 GB 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 performance and energy efficiency. Its low noise and low power consumption make it ideal for use in laptops and external hard drive enclosures. Its reliability and large capacity make it an excellent choice for storing and backing up data.
