| Performance |
- High data transfer rate
- Leading seek times
- 8MB/2MB buffer size
|
- Faster system boot-up
- Quicker screen refreshes
- Faster access to data
- Faster data processing
|
| Capacity |
|
|
- Greater storage capacity in multi-drive systems
|
| Reliability |
- Leading low power
- Head load/unload
- Optional low-power mode
- Internal thermal sensor
|
- Cooler system operation
- Enables lower cost power supply and fan
- Protects disk during non-operation
- Reduces disk wear
- Reduces power requirement in multi-drive systems
- Reduces system heat
- Improves data integrity
|
| Acoustics |
- Low acoustic levels
- Optional low-acoustics mode
|
- Quieter system operation
- Important for fan-less systems (all-in-one, PVR, etc.)
- Further reduces system noise
