Fujitsu 3.5" 2TB, 7.2K SATA III - S26462-F3500-L200

Detailed information

HDD 

Traditional rotary or plate discs are ideal for applications where maximum affordability and high capacity play the most important role. These are, for example, cold storage, NAS solutions and others. Server HDDs are significantly more reliable compared to desktop HDDs. Also, many of them can achieve higher read and write speeds. 

SATA

Serial ATA is the designation for a computer bus used to connect high-capacity devices – HDD and SSD drives. Nowadays, SATA revision 3.0 (SATA 6 Gb/s) is used, which offers a data throughput of up to 600 MB/s. SATA uses the older AHCI interface for communication, which is, however, sufficient and the most widespread.   

Speed 

The key parameter for hard disks is the rotation speed of the platters, which for hard disks varies between 5400 rpm – 15000 rpm (revolutions per minute). Which directly affects the speed of the disk and, of course, its price. Nowadays, hard drives are increasingly being replaced by SSD solutions.  

Capacity  

The capacity of the disk often depends on its use. Large capacity HDDs are used for storing and backing up large amounts of data. A large-capacity SSD is useful, for example, in cases where multiple users simultaneously work with larger volumes of data in real time. On the contrary, SSD disks, which have a small storage space, are mainly used for the operating system and its fast running, or as a boot drive or for the hypervisor.  

3.5“

This format is most often found on hard drives. The advantage of these disks is mostly their capacity-to-price ratio, reliability and compatibility. 3.5” the drives can be installed in most servers as well as desktop cabinets.
