Description
Product overview of the Hitachi HUS724020ALE641
The HUS724020ALE641 is a 2TB internal hard drive manufactured by Hitachi, under their Ultrastar product line. It is designed to be used as a reliable and high-capacity storage solution for enterprise-grade data centers and cloud storage systems. In this article, we will discuss in detail the features and specifications of the HUS724020ALE641 Hitachi Ultrastar 7K4000 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6GBPS 64MB Buffer 3.5inch Internal Hard Drive.
Storage Capacity and Form Factor
The HUS724020ALE641 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive that provides a storage capacity of 2TB. It is a high-capacity hard drive that is designed to meet the storage demands of enterprise-grade data centers and cloud storage systems. The 3.5-inch form factor of the HUS724020ALE641 makes it compatible with most standard desktops and servers that have 3.5-inch drive bays.
Drive Speed and Interface
The HUS724020ALE641 has a spindle speed of 7.2K RPM (rotations per minute), which means that it can read and write data at a faster speed than a hard drive with a lower RPM. The 7.2K RPM speed of the HUS724020ALE641 makes it suitable for applications that require fast data access and transfer speeds.
The HUS724020ALE641 also has a SATA 6Gbps interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 6Gbps. The SATA interface is the most widely used interface for internal hard drives and provides a reliable and stable connection between the hard drive and the motherboard.
Cache Buffer
The HUS724020ALE641 comes with a cache buffer of 64MB. The cache buffer is a small amount of high-speed memory that is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data. This helps to improve the overall performance of the hard drive by reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data.
Reliability and Durability
The HUS724020ALE641 is designed to be a reliable and durable hard drive that can withstand the demands of enterprise-grade data centers and cloud storage systems. It has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours, which means that it is expected to operate continuously for an average of 2 million hours before failing.
The HUS724020ALE641 also comes with features such as Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) and Enhanced Error Correction Code (ECC) that help to ensure the reliability and integrity of data stored on the hard drive.
Power Consumption
The HUS724020ALE641 has a low power consumption of 6.4W when idle and 11.4W when operating. The low power consumption of the HUS724020ALE641 makes it an energy-efficient storage solution that can help to reduce the overall power consumption of data centers and cloud storage systems.
Compatibility
The HUS724020ALE641 is compatible with most standard desktops and servers that have a 3.5-inch drive bay. It is also compatible with most major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
