Helpful answer
The cache is 128 MB, the storage technology is CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording). The hard drive is filled with air, not helium. The maximum workload rate per year is not explicitly stated by the manufacturer. The maximum internal transfer rate is up to 185 MB/s. The speed is 5640 rpm and the interface is SATA 6 Gb/s.
