3.5"
HDD Capacity
The total amount of digital storage that an internal hard drive can hold, expressed as a numeric value with an appropriate unit such as GB, MB, or TB. This attribute helps users understand how much data the device’s built‑in hard drive can store and compare storage options across products.
6000 GB
HDD interface transfer rate
The highest theoretical speed at which a hard disk drive can send or receive data over its interface, expressed in bits per second (bps) or multiples such as kbps, mbps, gbps, etc. This value represents the upper bound of throughput under optimal conditions and is useful for comparing performance across different drives and interfaces.
6 Gbit/s
HDD speed
The number of revolutions per minute (RPM) at which a hard‑disk drive’s spindle turns, indicating the drive’s data access performance and endurance characteristics.
7200 RPM
HDD sustained transfer rate
The average speed at which a storage device can read or write data under typical operating conditions, expressed in megabytes per second (MiB/s). This value reflects the sustained throughput that users can expect during continuous data transfers.
205 MiB/s
Interface
List of physical or logical interfaces that allow communication between a hard drive and other devices, such as SATA, M.2 PCIe, U.2, SAS, NVMe, or other standard connections.
