Product Overview of the Toshiba MK2002TSKB
The Toshiba MK2002TSKB is a hard disk drive (HDD) that offers a storage capacity of 2 Terabytes (TB). It has a 7200 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) spindle speed, 64 Megabytes (MB) buffer, and uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface with a speed of 3 Gigabits Per Second (Gbps). The HDD is designed for use in desktop computers, workstations, and servers that require high-capacity storage with reliable performance.
2 Terabytes (TB) Storage Capacity
The Toshiba MK2002TSKB has a massive storage capacity of 2 Terabytes (TB), making it suitable for users who need to store a large amount of data such as music, videos, photos, and documents. With this storage capacity, users can store up to 400,000 high-resolution photos, 500 hours of high-quality video, or 500,000 songs. Additionally, the large storage capacity also makes the HDD ideal for use in servers that require high-capacity storage.
7.2K Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The Toshiba MK2002TSKB has a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which is the speed at which the disks inside the HDD rotate. A faster spindle speed means that data can be accessed more quickly, leading to improved overall performance. The 7200 RPM spindle speed of the Toshiba MK2002TSKB makes it ideal for use in applications that require high-speed data transfer rates, such as video editing or gaming.
64 Megabyte (MB) Buffer
The buffer is a small amount of memory that acts as a temporary storage area for data that is being transferred between the HDD and the computer. The Toshiba MK2002TSKB has a 64 Megabyte (MB) buffer, which helps to improve the overall performance of the HDD. The buffer allows data to be transferred more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of data loss or corruption during transfer.
3.5Inches Form Factor
The form factor of an HDD refers to its physical size and shape. The Toshiba MK2002TSKB has a 3.5Inches form factor, which is the standard size for desktop HDDs. The 3.5Inches form factor allows the HDD to fit into most desktop computer cases, making it easy to install. The form factor also ensures compatibility with most desktop computer power supplies, which are designed to supply power to devices of this size.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
The Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is a standard interface for connecting storage devices such as HDDs and solid-state drives (SSDs) to a computer. The Toshiba MK2002TSKB uses the SATA interface with a speed of 3 Gigabits Per Second (Gbps). The SATA interface provides fast data transfer rates, allowing the HDD to transfer data quickly and efficiently.
Reliability
The Toshiba MK2002TSKB is designed for use in applications that require reliable storage solutions. The HDD has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours, which means that it is expected to last for a long time before it fails. Additionally, the HDD has built-in features such as a ramp load/unload mechanism, which helps to protect the disks from damage during transportation or movement.
Overall, the Toshiba MK2002TSKB is a high-capacity, reliable HDD that is ideal for use in desktop computers, workstations, and servers that require large amounts of storage. It has a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, a 64 Megabyte (MB) buffer, and uses the SATA interface with a speed of 3 Gigabits Per Second (Gbps).

About Refurbished Products
SATA 3gb/s HDD (Hard Drive)
Browse through the products under this category for all your SATA 3Gb/s HDD needs. If you are eager to tune up your PC for performance and storage capacity, the replacement of system hardware is the surest way to go. The upgrade to a SATA 3Gbps will actually help you squeeze big performance gains from your system.
The SATA 3Gbps is representative of the second revision of SATA technology that has transfer rates of 3Gbps and can attain a bandwidth throughput of 300MB/s. The 3Gbps hard drives are compatible with the variations of SATA – backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gb/s and forward compatible with SATA-III.
SATA II Hard drive vs SSD
The big move has been to solid-state drives (SSD) to improve performance. If you've not migrated to an SSD, you are missing out and have not experienced responsiveness. Apps launch faster, Windows boots and file transfers happen faster with SSDs.
With prices having dipped to about $1/GB, you have no reason not to get a SATA 3Gb/s drive to optimize performance. If you have the SATA 3Gbs port, you have no reason not to update to higher-performance hard drive disks. SATA drives are generally high capacity and low cost which gives a good value in terms of low cost per gigabyte of storage.
The most common SATA 3Gb s HDD is the 7.2K SATA but there are many other speed offerings right from 5.4K to 10K RPM. These hard drives are best suited for data storage, home users, and backups. The best way of measuring speed is through inputs outputs per second (IOPS) which defines data throughput – the actual read speed and write speed. The 7.2K SATA 3Gb/s drive will operate at about 80 IOPS. SSDs with SATA ports/connectors have markedly higher speeds and can achieve anything between 4,600 and 75,000 IOPS depending on the type.
SATA 3gbs HDD Options
You can get a wide range of storage capacities for the SATA 3Gbps HDDs right from 500GB and reaching the 8TB mark. We recommend storage capacities between 1 and 3TB since they offer good value for cost and capacity. That said, we have the following options: 1TB-7.2K RPM, 2TB-7.2K RPM, 3TB-7.2K RPM, 4TB-7.2K RPM that are real value for money as well as lower capacity SATA drives for home users and backups such as 300GB-10K RPM, and 750GB-7.2K RPM.
The reliability of SATA is not comparable to that of SAS drives that are designed for high demanding applications. SATA 3Gb/s HDDs are not designed for use in servers and other high demanding applications where high availability and speed requirements are a top priority. These drives are best suited for lower-level demands such as backups and for desktop PCs for home use. The mean time before failure (MTBF) for SATA drives is about 700,000 hours compared to 1.2 million hours for SAS hard drives.
Another outstanding feature is that of power consumption whereby SATA 3 Gb/s drives are power rated at 10 to 12 watts for normal operating conditions and consume 4 to 6 watts of power when idle.
We have SATA-II-rated cables of all lengths up to 1 meter in length. The cables are coupled with SATA connectors with the typical 7 pins for data and 15 pins for power. Check on all other SATA technology including SATA controllers, SATA connectors, and SATA adapters.
You will be courting disaster if SATA 3Gb s HDDs are used for high I/O applications and mission-critical websites. Performance issues, downtime, data corruption, and data loss are some of the challenges you may encounter. Talk to us and we can match you with the right SATA 3gbps hard drive disks to meet your speed and performance needs. SATA 3Gb/s hard drives are the best choice for cheap servers and home use.
