Stringrequired
Intended purposepurpose

The purpose that this hard drive family was designed for. Use a predefined option (case insensitive) or make your own. Predefined: desktop, desktop_performance, laptop, nas, stb, surveillance, enterprise, external.

Suggested values
desktop desktop_performance laptop nas stb surveillance enterprise external
Example
desktop_performance
Stringrequired
Form factorform_factor

The form factor of the hard drive model, expressed in inches (as in, 3.5"). This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Suggested values
2.5" 3.5" 5.25"
Example
3.5"
Stringoptional
z-heightz-height

The total z-height of the drive in millimetres. Most useful for 2.5"s, most 3.5"s are 26.1. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
9.5
Numberoptional
Capacitycapacity

The total capacity of the hard drive model. Do not include units, and do not use binary capacities (such as 236 instead of 256). This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
500
Numberoptional
Capacity unitcapacity_unit

The two- or three- letter acronym for the capacity's unit. Case insensitive. Accepts all parameters that Template:Cache unit accepts. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
gb
Stringoptional
Rotation speedspeed

The speed that the hard drive platters rotate at. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
5,400
Numberoptional
Cachecache

The amount of cache RAM the hard drive contains. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
64
Numberoptional
Cache unitcache_unit

Example
mb
Stringoptional
Advanced Format statusaf

Whether the hard drive supports Advanced Format, and if so, what type it supports (512e, or 4Kn). This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
No
Stringoptional
Maximum sustained transfer ratemax_transfer

The maximum specified transfer rate, in MB/s. Note that some datasheets specify this in Mbits for some reason; for those, provide an MB/s translation as well as the original. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.

Example
180
Numberoptional
Recording methodrecording_method

The three, four or similar acronym for the recording. Case insensitive. This parameter, like all other Common specifications parameters, must only be specified if it remains exactly the same across all models.
