The WD20EVDS is a 2TB hard disk drive produced by Western Digital as part of their AV-GP series. The AV-GP series is specifically designed for use in audio and video applications, and as such, it is optimized for low power consumption, quiet operation, and reliability. This particular model is designed for use in desktop computers and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and specifications of the WD20EVDS.
Capacity and SpeedThe WD20EVDS has a total storage capacity of 2 terabytes (TB), which is equivalent to 2,000 gigabytes (GB). This makes it suitable for storing large amounts of data, including high-definition video, music, and photos. The drive spins at a speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is standard for desktop hard drives. This allows for faster read and write speeds compared to slower spinning hard drives.
Buffer and InterfaceThe WD20EVDS has a 32-megabyte (MB) buffer, which is a type of cache memory that stores frequently accessed data. The buffer helps to improve the overall performance of the drive by reducing the time it takes to access data. The drive uses a Serial ATA (SATA) interface, specifically SATA-II, which has a maximum transfer rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps). SATA-II is backwards compatible with SATA-I, which means that the drive can be used with older motherboards that only support SATA-I.
Intellipower TechnologyThe WD20EVDS features Western Digital's Intellipower technology, which is a proprietary technology that allows the drive to balance performance and power consumption. Intellipower technology adjusts the rotational speed of the drive based on the workload, which can lead to energy savings and longer lifespan of the drive. The drive is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for use in energy-efficient systems.
Noise and VibrationThe WD20EVDS is designed to be quiet and minimize vibrations, which makes it ideal for use in audio and video applications. The drive features Western Digital's IntelliSeek technology, which calculates the optimum seek speed to reduce power consumption, noise, and vibration. In addition, the drive has a 3.5-inch form factor, which means that it is designed to fit inside desktop computers and NAS devices.
CompatibilityThe WD20EVDS is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It is also compatible with a variety of desktop computers and NAS devices that have a 3.5-inch drive bay. However, it is always recommended to check the compatibility with the device manufacturer before purchasing the drive.
Reliability and WarrantyWestern Digital is known for producing high-quality and reliable hard disk drives, and the WD20EVDS is no exception. The drive is designed to be durable and withstand the demands of continuous use. The drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1 million hours, which means that the drive is expected to last a long time before it fails. In addition, Western Digital offers a limited 3-year warranty with the drive, which provides peace of mind to the user.
Summary, the WD20EVDS is a reliable and high-performance hard disk drive that is suitable for use in a wide range of desktop computers and NAS devices. It offers a large storage capacity of 2TB, which is ideal for storing large amounts of data, including high-definition video, music, and photos. The drive is optimized for low power consumption, quiet operation, and reliability, making it a great choice for users who are looking for a hard disk drive that can handle the demands of continuous use.
