Description
Product Overview of ST2000VM002 Seagate Hard Drive
The ST2000VM002 Seagate Pipeline is a 2TB internal hard drive designed for use in desktop computers, workstations, and other systems that require high-capacity storage. This hard drive offers a maximum transfer rate of 3Gbps and has a 64MB cache to help improve performance.
Capacity
The Seagate Pipeline 2TB internal hard drive has a total capacity of 2 terabytes, which is equivalent to 2000 gigabytes. This amount of storage is enough to store thousands of music files, photos, videos, and other types of data.
Rotational Speed
The ST2000VM002 Seagate Pipeline hard drive has a rotational speed of 5.9K RPM (rotations per minute), which is a bit slower compared to other hard drives with 7.2K or 10K RPM. The lower rotational speed may result in a slower data transfer rate, but it also means that the hard drive is quieter and generates less heat.
Cache
This hard drive comes with a 64MB cache, which is a small amount of high-speed memory used to store frequently accessed data. The cache helps improve performance by reducing the time it takes to access data that is frequently used, which results in faster load times and improved overall system performance.
SATA
The ST2000VM002 Seagate Pipeline hard drive uses a SATA (Serial ATA) interface, which is a type of connection used to connect hard drives to motherboards. The SATA 3Gbps interface is capable of transferring data at a maximum rate of 3 gigabits per second, which is relatively fast but not as fast as the newer SATA 6Gbps interface.
Compatibility
This hard drive is compatible with a wide range of systems, including desktop computers, workstations, and other systems that support 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. It is also compatible with most major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Reliability
The Seagate Pipeline hard drive is designed to be highly reliable and durable, with an MTBF (mean time between failures) of up to 1 million hours. This means that the hard drive is expected to last for a long time and to operate reliably under normal conditions.
Energy Efficiency
This hard drive is designed to be energy efficient, with a low power consumption of just 4.4 watts when idle and 5.6 watts when in use. The lower power consumption helps reduce heat output, which can help extend the life of the hard drive and reduce the overall power consumption of the system.
Summary, the ST2000VM002 Seagate Pipeline 2TB 5.9K RPM 64MB SATA 3GBPS Internal Hard Drive is a reliable, high-capacity hard drive designed for use in desktop computers, workstations, and other systems that require large amounts of storage. While it may not have the fastest transfer rate or the largest cache, its low power consumption, quiet operation, and high reliability make it an excellent choice for many applications.
