101.6 x 26.1 x 147 (WxHxD mm)
Disk Size
The physical size of a hard drive or solid‑state drive expressed as a linear measurement with units such as inches or millimeters. It indicates the external dimensions that determine whether the drive will fit in a particular enclosure, bay, or mounting bracket.
3.5"
Edition
A brief statement indicating the edition or version of a product, such as "Reprint", "New Edition", or a numeric edition number like "2nd edition". It identifies which specific release of the item is being referenced.
WD Purple
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
Flash memory size
The total amount of internal flash storage available in a device, expressed as a digital capacity such as megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). This attribute indicates how much data can be stored on the device’s non‑volatile memory for operating systems, applications, and user files.
N/A
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
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.
26.1 mm
Host to/from drive sustained transfer rate
The maximum sustained data transfer speed between a host device and an attached storage drive, expressed in megabits per second (Mbps). It represents the typical throughput achievable under normal operating conditions for read/write operations.
145 MB/s
Intended use Surveillance
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.
Serial ATA III
Load/unload cycles
The total count of times a product is loaded and unloaded during its expected lifetime or usage period. This value helps users gauge the durability and reliability of devices that require frequent loading, such as storage drives, printers, or industrial equipment.
300,000
Maximum operating shock
The highest acceleration that a product can withstand during operation, expressed as a force in grams (G) and optionally including the duration of the shock event. This attribute indicates the mechanical robustness of the device or component under dynamic loading conditions.
30 G
Maximum power usage
The highest electrical power consumption of a product, expressed in watts (W). It indicates the maximum amount of energy the device draws during operation and is useful for estimating operating costs, comparing efficiency across similar products, or ensuring compatibility with power supplies.
4.4 W
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.
1,000,000 hours
NCQ
Indicates whether the product is designed to be used in a Network Attached Storage (NAS) environment, such as supporting multiple drive bays and continuous operation.
Yes
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 ~ +70 °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 - 65 °C
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 /
Package type
The form of packaging used for a product, such as box, blister pack, bag, or pallet. It indicates how the item is contained and protected during shipping and storage.
OEM
Recording technology CMR
Rotation Speed
The number of complete turns a rotating part—such as a fan, motor shaft or hard‑disk spindle—makes in one minute, expressed as revolutions per minute (RPM). This value indicates how fast the component operates and helps users compare performance, noise levels and suitability across different products.
5400 rpm
