Key Features
Bytes per sector
The number of bytes contained in each storage sector of a device, indicating the smallest unit of data that can be read or written by the medium.
4096
Component for
Specifies the type of device or system that the product is intended to be used with, such as a PC, server, notebook, surveillance system, or other electronic equipment. The value represents a single category and can be used to filter or group products by their target platform.
Notebook
Data transfer rate
The maximum theoretical speed at which a device can send or receive data, expressed in bits per second (bps) or its multiples such as kbps, mbps, gbps, etc. It represents the upper bound of throughput under optimal conditions and is useful for comparing performance across devices and interfaces.
6 Gbit/s
Depth
The linear measurement of an object from front to back or top to bottom, expressed in a physical unit such as millimeters, centimeters, inches, etc. It indicates how deep the item is and can be used for fitting, compatibility, or spatial planning.
100.5 mm
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.
500 GB
HDD size
The physical width of a hard disk drive expressed in inches or centimeters. It indicates the standard size that determines which enclosures, bays, and mounting hardware are compatible with the drive.
2.5"
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
Height
The vertical dimension of a product measured from its lowest to highest point. It is expressed in a physical unit such as millimetres, centimetres or inches and applies to any item where height is relevant, including books, electronics, furniture and other objects.
7 mm
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.
Serial ATA III
Non-operating shock
The mass of a component or device measured while it is not operating, expressed in grams. This value represents the total weight that the unit can sustain during shock testing and includes any internal parts and packaging if specified.
1000 G
Operating shock 400 G
Operating voltage
The electrical voltage that a device is designed to operate at, expressed in volts (V). It may represent a single nominal value or a range indicating the minimum and maximum supply voltages compatible with the product. This attribute helps users verify that their power source matches the device’s requirements.
5 V
Power consumption (StandBy) 0.65 W
Read Seek Time
The average time required for a storage device to position its read/write head over the correct track before accessing data. It is expressed in milliseconds (ms) and indicates how quickly the device can begin reading or writing after a command is issued.
11 ms
Storage drive buffer size
The amount of temporary memory that a hard drive can hold before transferring data to the host system. Expressed as a digital capacity (e.g., kilobytes, megabytes). This attribute helps users understand how quickly a drive can process read/write operations and is useful when comparing performance across drives.
32 MB
Type
The general category or style of the product, such as laptop, printer cartridge, or cooling fan. It helps buyers quickly identify the nature of the item and compare similar products.
HDD
Weight
The mass of the product expressed in a standard unit such as grams or kilograms. It represents how heavy the item is and can be used for shipping calculations, handling instructions, or consumer information.
95 g
Width
The horizontal measurement of a product, expressed in a linear unit such as millimetres or inches. It indicates how wide the item is from one side to the other and is used for sizing, fitting, and compatibility purposes.
70.1 mm
