Description
Product overview of the Toshiba HDWQ140XZSTA
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 is a 4TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for use in desktop computers, NAS (network-attached storage), and small business servers. The hard drive comes with a range of features that make it suitable for use in a variety of environments, including high-end gaming rigs and demanding workloads.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 hard drive, exploring its technical specifications and what makes it stand out from other hard drives on the market.
Capacity and Form Factor
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 has a total capacity of 4TB, which makes it ideal for storing large amounts of data, including high-resolution photos and videos, large gaming files, and business data. The hard drive comes in a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for desktop hard drives.
RPM Speed
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 has a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is a significant improvement over the 5,400 RPM speed found in many standard hard drives. The higher RPM speed allows for faster data access and retrieval, resulting in improved performance.
SATA Interface
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 is equipped with a SATA 6Gbps (gigabits per second) interface, which is the latest standard for hard drive interfaces. The SATA 6Gbps interface allows for faster data transfer rates, making it possible to transfer large files quickly and efficiently.
Cache Size
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 has a cache size of 128MB, which is larger than the cache sizes found in many standard hard drives. The cache acts as a buffer between the hard drive and the computer’s memory, allowing for faster data access and retrieval.
512e Format
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 uses a 512e format, which is a type of sector format that allows for larger storage capacity and improved data integrity. The 512e format emulates a 512-byte sector, but uses 4K (4,096-byte) physical sectors. This format is becoming more common in high-capacity hard drives and is expected to replace the older 512-byte sector format in the future.
High Performance and Reliability
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 is designed for high performance and reliability, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. The hard drive is equipped with advanced features that help to improve performance and reliability, including:
- Dual-stage actuators: These help to improve head positioning accuracy, resulting in faster data access and reduced wear and tear on the hard drive.
- StableTrac technology: This feature helps to stabilize the hard drive’s motor shaft, reducing vibrations and improving overall reliability.
- Rotational vibration (RV) sensors: These sensors help to detect and compensate for vibrations in the hard drive, improving performance and reliability.
- MTBF rating: The hard drive has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1 million hours, indicating that it is highly reliable and suitable for use in mission-critical environments.
Compatibility
The HDWQ140XZSTA Toshiba N300 is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. The hard drive is also designed to be compatible with a range of applications, including gaming, video editing, and business applications.
