User manual WESTERN DIGITAL WD CAVIAR BLACK DATASHEET

[. . . ] WD Caviar Black ® TM Desktop Hard Drives WD Caviar Black drives combine a high performance electronics architecture with a rock solid mechanical architecture to deliver the perfect storage solution for your fully-loaded PC or maxed out gaming machine. [. . . ] As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s and SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rates calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. 2 WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 1, 2006, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the European Union for electrical and electronic products. The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament, which is effective in the EU beginning July 1, 2006, aims to protect human health and the environment by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment, and consists of restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances. 3 Controlled unload at ambient condition 4 The term of the limited warranty may vary by region. 5 No non-recoverable errors during operating tests or after non-operating tests. 6 Sound power level. -2- WD Caviar Black Specifications Model number Interface Formatted capacity User sectors per drive SATA latching connector Form factor RoHS compliant2 Performance 1 750 GB WD7502AAEX SATA 6 Gb/s 750, 156 MB 1, 465, 149, 168 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 750 GB WD7501AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 750, 156 MB 1, 465, 149, 168 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 640 GB WD6402AAEX SATA 6 Gb/s 640, 135 MB 1, 250, 263, 728 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 640 GB WD6401AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 640, 135 MB 1, 250, 263, 728 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 500 GB WD5002AALX SATA 6 Gb/s 500, 107 MB 976, 773, 168 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 500 GB WD5001AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 500, 107 MB 976, 773, 168 Yes 3. 5-inch Yes Data transfer rate (max) Buffer to host Host to/from drive (sustained) Cache (MB) Average latency (ms) Rotational speed (RPM) Average drive ready time (sec) Reliability/Data Integrity Load/unload cycles3 Non-recoverable read errors per bits read Limited warranty (years)4 Power Management 6 Gb/s 126 MB/s 64 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 126 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 6 Gb/s 126 MB/s 64 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 126 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 6 Gb/s 126 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 8. 5 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 126 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 8. 5 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 Average power requirements (W) Read/Write Idle Standby Sleep Environmental Specifications5 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 6. 0 5. 6 0. 9 0. 9 6. 0 5. 6 0. 9 0. 9 Temperature (°C) Operating Non-operating Shock (Gs) Operating (2 ms, read) Operating (2 ms, read/write) Non-operating (2 ms) Average acoustics (dBA)6 Idle mode Performance seek mode Quiet seek mode Physical Dimensions Height (in. /mm, max) Length (in. /mm, max) Width (in. /mm, ± . 01 in. ) Weight (lb. /kg, ± 10%) 1 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 350 29 30 26 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 0. 97/0. 44 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 350 29 30 26 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 0. 97/0. 44 As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes.
