Key Features
Cache memory
The amount of internal memory reserved as a cache within a device or component, expressed in a data size such as megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). It represents the temporary storage used to accelerate read/write operations by holding frequently accessed data closer to the processor or controller.
128 MB
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.
PC
Data transfer rates
The highest 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.
Up to 150 MB/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.
100.2 mm
Disk Capacity
The total amount of digital storage that a disk drive—whether internal or external—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 can be stored on the device and compare different drives.
500 GB
Disk form factor
The physical size or shape of a storage disk, indicating the dimensions and mounting format used in computers and other devices. Common values include standard sizes such as "3.5" in., "2.5" in., and form‑factor codes like "M.2 2280" or "mSATA". This attribute helps users identify which drives are compatible with a given enclosure, motherboard, or system.
2.5
Disk speed
The maximum rotational speed of a hard‑disk drive’s spindle, expressed in revolutions per minute (RPM). This value indicates how fast the drive’s platters spin and is useful for comparing performance or suitability across different models.
5400RPM
Enclosure Type
The form or mounting style of a hardware component, such as internal, portable, desktop, rack‑mountable, or external. It indicates how the device is physically housed and where it can be installed.
Internal
Form factor
Specifies the physical configuration or design of a product, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, tower, case with cover, etc. It describes how the device is built and what mounting or expansion options it supports.
Hard Disk Drive
Harmonized System HS code
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized numerical identifier used internationally to classify traded goods. It consists of up to six digits, where each pair of digits represents progressively more specific product categories. The HS code facilitates customs duties, trade statistics, and regulatory compliance by providing a common language for describing products across borders.
84717050
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
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
The physical or logical interface used by a device to connect with other components, such as USB, PCI Express, SATA, Ethernet, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, or similar standards. It indicates the technology that enables data transfer and power delivery between the product and its peripherals.
SATA III
Latency
The time delay between a request and its response in a device or component, expressed as a duration. It indicates how quickly data can be transmitted or processed and is useful for comparing performance across similar products.
ms
Mean Time Between Failure MTBF
The average time interval between successive failures of a product or component, expressed in hours or other standard time units. It indicates the expected reliability and durability of the item under normal operating conditions.
Hours
Non operating temperature
The temperature range in which a product can safely operate without risk of damage or performance degradation when it is not actively performing its primary function. Values are expressed in degrees Celsius (°C) and may represent a single temperature, a minimum–maximum interval, or an average operating point.
-40 ~ +65 °C
Operating temperature
The range of temperatures in which a product can safely operate without risk of damage or performance degradation. Values are expressed in degrees Celsius (°C) and may represent a single temperature, a minimum–maximum interval, or an average operating point.
0 ~ 60 °C
Recording technology SMR
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
Storage type
The technology or media format used for internal or external data storage, such as hard disk drives (HDD), solid‑state drives (SSD), eMMC, microSD cards, or combinations of these. It indicates the underlying storage medium that determines performance, capacity, and compatibility with a device.
HDD
Total Hard Disk Size
The total storage capacity of a hard disk drive or solid‑state drive installed in the product, expressed as a numeric value with an appropriate unit such as GB, MB, TB, or a descriptive label indicating whether the drive is included or not. This attribute helps users understand how much data can be stored on the device.
GB
Warranty
The length of time for which the manufacturer guarantees that the product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, typically expressed in years or months.
2 Years
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.
0.09 kg
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.
69.85 mm
