Performance and technology

The unit operates with a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, and has a cache of 128 MB, elements that contribute to good performance in frequent read/write scenarios. The recording technology used is SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording), which optimizes storage density. Thus, the product is balanced in terms of performance and cost, useful in systems where absolute speed is not essential, but a decent and reliable space is desired.

Reliability, power consumption and operating conditions

For data security, the unit has a cycle of up to 600,000 charges/discharges, which indicates reasonable durability for normal use. In terms of energy, it consumes around 1.9 W for reading and 1.7 W for writing, and at rest about 0.7 W — good values for a 2.5 " internal disk.
