See full description

  • Usage

    NAS

    Disks for use in NAS (Network-Attached Storage) systems that provide access to data from all devices on a network. They are designed for continuous operation with other such disks in RAID configurations to protect data from failures.

  • Communication Protocol

    Hard drives communicate with the computer through a protocol.

    There are two protocols for HDD hard drives, SATA (for simple use) and SAS (high reliability for corporate use).

    SATA III

    A modern hard disk connection standard that offers twice the maximum speed compared to SATA II.

    The majority of hard disks use this standard.

    The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Cache Size

    Intermediate temporary memory between the disk and the computer, allowing the hard disk to provide faster and more immediate access to data. It does not have any particular benefit for the average user.

  • Form Factor

    The size of the HDD hard drive.

    3.5

    The classic size of a desktop computer hard disk drive (HDD).

  • Rotation Speed

    The most important feature along with capacity is that the faster the rotation speed of a hard disk, the faster the access and storage of data it can provide.

    7200

    The most popular HDD hard drives, about 33% faster than 5400. Suitable for all uses such as installing programs and games. For installing the operating system, programs, and games, SSD are even faster and remain the best choice.

      This review is about a variation of the product

      the noise it makes is like working a planer in a woodworking shop. As someone else wrote, it resonates with something (the NAS chassis? its own chassis?) and makes CRAZY NOISE. Even if it's the best disk in the universe, with so much noise, I'm taking it back!

      Placement in Synology DS716+

      This review is about a variation of the product

      I have never heard in my life so much noise and vibration on a hard disk, it synchronizes the entire PC chassis. In a docking station, it synchronizes the entire desk. It is only for NVR in a warehouse far away from the office.
