The Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG is a desktop-class hard disk drive (HDD) with a massive storage capacity of 2 terabytes (TB). It operates at a speed of 5,400 revolutions per minute (RPM) and has a 32 megabyte (MB) buffer size. In this article, we will take a closer look at this HDD and its features, along with its compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standard.
Capacity and Form FactorThe Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG has a storage capacity of 2 TB, which is equivalent to 2,000 gigabytes (GB). This makes it an excellent choice for individuals and businesses that require a large amount of storage space for their data. The HDD is designed in a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for desktop-class hard drives. This means that it can be easily installed in most desktop computers and workstations.
Rotational Speed and Buffer SizeThe rotational speed of a hard disk drive is an essential factor that determines its performance. The Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG operates at a speed of 5,400 RPM, which is slower than some of the higher-end HDDs available on the market. However, this lower RPM helps to reduce power consumption and minimize noise levels. The HDD also features a 32 MB buffer size, which helps to improve the overall performance of the drive by allowing it to temporarily store frequently accessed data.
SATA-II InterfaceThe Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG uses a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a common interface used in modern hard drives. Specifically, it uses the SATA-II interface, which provides a maximum data transfer rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps). While this is not the latest version of the SATA interface (SATA-III provides faster transfer rates), it is still more than sufficient for most users.
RoHS ComplianceThe RoHS standard is a set of regulations that restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG is compliant with the RoHS standard, which means that it does not contain any of the restricted substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. This makes it a safer and more environmentally friendly option compared to non-compliant hard drives.
In Summary, the Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG is a desktop-class hard disk drive with a large storage capacity of 2 TB. It operates at a speed of 5,400 RPM and has a 32 MB buffer size, which helps to improve its overall performance. The HDD uses the SATA-II interface, which provides a maximum data transfer rate of 3 Gbps. Additionally, it is compliant with the RoHS standard, which means that it is a safer and more environmentally friendly option compared to non-compliant hard drives. If you're looking for a reliable and high-capacity hard drive for your desktop computer, the Samsung HD203WI Spinpoint F3EG is definitely worth considering.
