HDD

How to choose a hard drive?

When choosing a hard drive, you should pay attention to its specifications: So, what are these specifications:

Form factor
Hard drives are divided into two sizes: 2.5" and 3.5". 2.5 inches – usually this size is used for external hard drives 3.5 inches – standard size for internal hard rives

Storage space
The more storage the better. The amount of storage space should be selected based on the computer's requirements. Home/Office computers (work with office software, daily use) - 700-2000GB Gaming PC’s - 1-4TB For tasks that require a lot of power and storage (Work with graphics design, video editing) - 2-12TB

Read speed
Read speed determines the amount of time it takes to read one piece of data. The faster the read speed is, the more information processing time is reduced. For modern hard drives, the optimal speed is between 12.5 and 15 ms.

Efficiency
The amount of energy a hard drive consumes depends on how powerful it is. The larger the capacity of the hard drive, the more energy it consumes.

Spin speed
Revolutions per minute. The higher the RPM, the more the disc will heat up during operation. For Desktops, the optimal number of revolutions is 7200 or 5400 RPM. Drives above 7,200 RPM are generally intended for use in servers.

Cache size
The lower the number, the longer it takes to access the data. Disks with a cache size of 64 to 256MB are most often used.

Connection types
The most common type for connecting hard drives is USB. USB has the following types: USB 2.0 - Considered already obsolete, because its data transfer speed is only 60MB per second; USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen1) - data transfer speed is 625MB per second; USB 3.1 (USB 3.2 Gen2) - data transfer speed is 1250MB per second; USB C 3.2 Gen1 (USB C 3.0), USB C 3.2 Gen2 (USB C 3.1) - Thanks to the double-sided socket, it is easier to connect the drive. SATA - A modern connection type used by internal hard drives. SATA connections have several standards: SATA 1 - Data transmission speed is 150MB per second SATA 2 - Data transmission speed is 300MB per second SATA 3 - Data transmission speed is 600MB per second. When using an external hard drive, it is recommended to use an eSATA connection, as its data transfer speed is 300MB per second. Thunderbolt 3 – Data transmission speed is 5000MB per second.
