1TB 7200 RPM desktop hard drive

The Toshiba DT01ACA100 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 1TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 32MB cache. It connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and ships as a bare drive.

Suits high-capacity bulk storage.

This drive suits desktop builders who need affordable terabyte-scale storage for media libraries, backups or archival data. Buyers who need lower latency for operating-system drives or frequent random access should consider other options.

7200 RPM spindle speed determines responsiveness

The 7200 RPM rotation rate and 4.17ms average latency define the drive's sustained throughput and access time, making it the key figure for deciding whether this drive matches the workload.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface caps the maximum theoretical transfer rate at 6.0Gb/s; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the host controller and cable quality.

What physical space and mounting does the 3.5" form factor require?

The drive needs a standard 3.5" drive bay and four side or bottom mounting screws; it also requires a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the PSU.

How is this bare drive installed and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5" bay, connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard and the SATA power cable to the PSU, then initialise and format the 1TB volume in the OS — the formatting step is frequently forgotten.
