Silver 3.5 inch SATA hard drive with circuit board visible

Western Digital

Western Digital WD10EVVS 1TB 5.4K RPM 3.5" SATA internal hard drive

SKU CH-XW3M-YQZTD

One-terabyte desktop hard drive spins at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache on a 3 Gbps SATA link

  • 1 TB capacity for large media libraries
  • 5400 RPM spindle speed for quiet operation
  • 8 MB cache buffer for smoother data access
  • IntelliPark and IntelliSeek technologies protect the drive
  • SATA 3 Gbps interface for broad desktop compatibility

WD10EVVS AV-GP drive

The WD10EVVS is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop AV and surveillance systems. Its 5400 RPM spindle and 8 MB buffer prioritise quiet, continuous operation over peak throughput.

SATA 3Gbps interface limit

The SATA 3Gbps link caps sustained transfers well below modern 6Gbps drives. Sequential reads and writes will saturate the bus before the platters reach their mechanical ceiling.

1000 GB capacity headroom

One terabyte holds weeks of multi-camera footage or large media libraries. The 5400 RPM speed and 8 MB cache become bottlenecks with heavy random I/O or simultaneous high-bitrate streams.

Questions about this item

Is the 1TB 5400RPM model the only capacity available for this AV-GP drive?

The WD10EVVS is offered in a 1000GB capacity with a 5400RPM spindle speed and 8MB cache.

What sustained transfer rate can I expect from the 3Gbps SATA link on this drive?

The SATA 3Gbps interface caps the burst rate at 3Gbps; real-world sustained throughput is lower and depends on the 5400RPM platters and 8MB buffer.

Does the SATA 3Gbps interface limit performance compared to a 6Gbps port?

The drive uses a SATA 3Gbps connection, so it will run at 3Gbps even when installed in a 6Gbps controller.
