问题 (The Question)
SuperUser reader Pankhuri Gupta wants to know more about ‘Bare’ and ‘OEM’ hard-drives:
超级用户读者Pankhuri Gupta想了解有关“裸机”和“ OEM”硬盘的更多信息:
I am looking for a new internal hard-drive for my laptop and found terms like ‘Bare’ hard-drive and ‘OEM’ hard-drive when looking online.
我正在为笔记本电脑寻找新的内置硬盘驱动器,并且在网上查找时发现了“裸”硬盘和“ OEM”硬盘之类的术语。
I researched the terms and found that ‘bare’ hard-drives do not come with cables or manuals. But I am still confused about one thing. Do they have the connector chip on them? Everywhere I looked online I saw images of ‘bare’ hard-drives displayed with exposed spindles and platters.
我研究了这些术语,发现“裸机”硬盘没有电缆或手册。 但是我仍然对一件事感到困惑。 他们上面有连接器芯片吗? 当我上网查看的任何地方,都看到带有裸露的主轴和盘片的“裸露”硬盘驱动器的图像。
I do not believe that I will need any cables or other ‘accessory’ parts to replace the old hard-drive in my laptop.
我认为我不需要任何电缆或其他“附件”部件即可替换笔记本电脑中的旧硬盘驱动器。
What do you actually get with a ‘Bare’ or ‘OEM’ hard-drive?
您使用“裸机”或“ OEM”硬盘实际上能得到什么?
答案 (The Answer)
SuperUser contributors Journeyman Geek and Fiasco Labs have the answer for us. First up, Journeyman Geek:
超级用户贡献者Journeyman Geek和Fiasco Labs为我们找到了答案。 首先,《 Journeyman Geek》:
There is little practical difference between a retail or ‘OEM’ hard-drive for consumer systems. For the same model, it is the same exact hard-drive with all the relevant internal parts needed to make it function. In general, such hard-drives are primarily marketed at system builders who would rather get a padded box of hard-drives with just the necessary packaging.
用于消费者系统的零售或“ OEM”硬盘之间几乎没有实际区别。 对于同一型号,它是完全相同的硬盘驱动器,具有使其运行所需的所有相关内部零件。 通常,此类硬盘驱动器主要在系统制造商那里销售,他们宁愿获得带有必要包装的带衬垫的硬盘驱动器盒。
In general, OEM packaging looks like this:
通常,OEM包装如下所示:
![]()
You have a hard-drive in a sealed bag and that is it. No SATA cables, manuals, or anything else is included.
您有一个装在密封袋中的硬盘驱动器,仅此而已。 不包含SATA电缆,手册或其他任何内容。
Hard-drives absolutely do not ship with exposed platters.
硬盘驱动器绝对不带有裸露的盘片。
Depending on the type of hard-drive and the SKU, you may get some additional literature (like manuals), a SATA cable, or in the case of some SSDs, a ‘migration kit’ that would let you hook up your hard-drive over USB, image it, and then swap hard-drives.
根据硬盘驱动器和SKU的类型,您可能会获得一些其他资料(例如手册),SATA电缆,或者对于某些SSD,可能会使用“迁移套件”来连接硬盘驱动器。通过USB对其进行映像,然后交换硬盘。
I would also add that if it is a pre-built computer (or server in some cases), replacing the ‘OEM’ hard-drive that came standard in it with your own hard-drive (‘OEM’ or otherwise) may void the warranty. Some may also have specific firmware versions or be branded to the system builder.
我还要补充一点,如果它是预制计算机(在某些情况下是服务器),则用您自己的硬盘驱动器(“ OEM”或其他方式)替换其中标配的“ OEM”硬盘驱动器可能会使保证。 有些可能还具有特定的固件版本,或者被标记为系统构建商。
Followed by the answer from Fiasco Labs:
随后是Fiasco Labs的回答:
‘Bare’ means a hard-drive in a manufacturer’s sealed anti-static bag (for all the vendors I have ever bought a hard-drive from). As long as it is properly packaged against g-forces, you are good to go.
“裸露”是指制造商密封的防静电袋中的硬盘驱动器(对于我曾经购买过该硬盘驱动器的所有供应商)。 只要将其正确包装以抵抗重力,您就可以使用。
