Overview of the Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 Hard Disk
The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 is a 4 Terabyte (TB) 5400 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 6 Gigabits Per Second (GBPS) 64 Megabytes (MB) Buffer 3.5-inch Enterprise Hard Disk Drive. It is designed to provide high-performance storage for enterprise-level applications. In this article, we will explain in detail what each of these specifications means and how they impact the performance of the hard drive.
Capacity
The first specification we will look at is the capacity of the hard drive. The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 has a capacity of 4 Terabytes (TB), which means it can store up to 4 trillion bytes of data. This makes it an ideal choice for enterprise-level applications that require a large amount of storage space. For example, it can be used to store large databases, multimedia files, and virtual machines.
Rotational Speed
The next specification we will look at is the rotational speed of the hard drive. The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 has a rotational speed of 5400 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). This means that the platters inside the hard drive rotate 5400 times per minute. A higher rotational speed means that data can be read and written to the hard drive more quickly. However, it also means that the hard drive generates more heat and consumes more power. A lower rotational speed, on the other hand, means that the hard drive runs cooler and consumes less power but may result in slower performance.
Interface
The interface is the connection between the hard drive and the motherboard of the computer or server. The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a standard interface used in most modern computers and servers. SATA 6 Gigabits Per Second (GBPS) is the latest version of the SATA interface and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 6 gigabits per second, which is equivalent to 750 megabytes per second. This allows data to be transferred to and from the hard drive quickly, improving overall system performance.
Buffer
The buffer, also known as the cache, is a small amount of memory located on the hard drive that is used to temporarily store data that is frequently accessed. The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 has a 64 Megabytes (MB) buffer, which is a significant amount of memory. This helps to improve the performance of the hard drive by reducing the amount of time it takes to access frequently used data. When data is requested from the hard drive, it is first checked if it is already stored in the buffer. If it is, the data can be accessed quickly without having to read it from the platters.
Form Factor
The form factor of a hard drive refers to its physical size and shape. The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for most desktop computers and servers. This size is larger than the 2.5-inch form factor used in many laptops and smaller devices. The larger size allows for more platters to be used, which can increase the overall storage capacity of the hard drive.
Enterprise Level
The Hitachi HMS5C4040BLE640 is designed for enterprise-level applications. This means that it is designed to provide high-performance storage for servers and other systems that require a large amount of storage space. Enterprise-level hard drives are designed to be more reliable than consumer-level hard drives, as they are subjected to more demanding workloads and are required to operate continuously for extended periods of time.
