Description
Product Overview of the Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar is a hard disk drive that is designed for use in desktop computers. It has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes (TB) and a rotation speed of 5400 revolutions per minute (RPM). In addition, it features CoolSpin technology which helps to reduce power consumption and noise, and a 32 megabyte (MB) buffer for faster data access. It uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 6 gigabit per second (GBPS) interface and has a 3.5-inch form factor.
Storage Capacity
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes (TB). This means that it can store a large amount of data, including documents, photos, videos, and music. For example, it can store up to 800,000 photos, 1.5 million songs, or 600 hours of high-definition video. This makes it an ideal choice for users who need to store large amounts of data, such as graphic designers, photographers, and video editors.
Rotation Speed
The rotation speed of the Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar is 5400 revolutions per minute (RPM). This means that the disk spins 5400 times per minute, which is slower than some other hard disk drives that have speeds of 7200 RPM or higher. However, the slower speed helps to reduce power consumption and noise. This makes it a good choice for users who want a quiet and energy-efficient system.
CoolSpin Technology
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar features CoolSpin technology. This technology is designed to reduce power consumption and noise. It achieves this by using a combination of technologies, including low-power components, a low-power controller, and advanced power management. As a result, the drive consumes less power and generates less heat, which helps to extend the life of the drive and reduce the overall cost of ownership.
Buffer Size
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar has a 32 megabyte (MB) buffer. This buffer acts as a temporary storage area for frequently accessed data. By storing frequently accessed data in the buffer, the drive can access the data faster than if it had to retrieve it from the disk each time. This results in faster data access times and improved overall system performance.
SATA Interface
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 6 gigabit per second (GBPS) interface. This interface is faster than the older Parallel ATA (PATA) interface, which it has largely replaced. The SATA interface has several advantages over the PATA interface, including faster data transfer rates, better data reliability, and easier cable management.
Form Factor
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar has a 3.5-inch form factor. This means that it is designed to fit into the 3.5-inch drive bay found in most desktop computers. The 3.5-inch form factor is larger than the 2.5-inch form factor used in many laptop computers, but it allows for larger storage capacities and faster rotation speeds.
Internal Hard Disk Drive
The Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 Deskstar is an internal hard disk drive. This means that it is designed to be installed inside a desktop computer, rather than used as an external drive. Internal hard disk drives have several advantages over external drives, including faster data transfer rates and better reliability. They also take up less desk space and are less likely to be accidentally disconnected.
