CapacityThe ST8000AS0003 hard drive has a storage capacity of 8 terabytes, which is equal to 8,000 gigabytes. This makes it one of the largest capacity hard drives available in the market. With this huge capacity, the hard drive is capable of storing a vast amount of data such as photos, videos, music, and documents. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals or businesses that require large storage space for their data.
Rotation SpeedThe rotation speed of a hard drive determines how quickly it can access data stored on it. The ST8000AS0003 hard drive has a rotation speed of 5.9K RPM, which is considered to be a standard speed for a desktop hard drive. This speed is sufficient for most applications, including gaming, office applications, and multimedia. However, if you require a higher speed, you may want to consider a hard drive with a faster rotation speed.
SATA InterfaceThe ST8000AS0003 hard drive uses the SATA 6Gbps interface for data transfer. SATA stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, which is a standard interface for connecting storage devices to a computer. SATA 6Gbps is the latest version of the SATA interface and provides faster data transfer rates compared to the previous versions. This means that the ST8000AS0003 hard drive is capable of transferring data at a maximum rate of 6Gbps, which is faster than the older SATA 3Gbps interface.

The ST8000AS0003 hard drive has a cache size of 256MB, which is considered to be a large cache size for a hard drive. This means that the hard drive can store a large amount of frequently accessed data in its cache, which can significantly improve its performance.
3.5inch Form FactorThe form factor of a hard drive refers to its physical size and shape. The ST8000AS0003 hard drive has a form factor of 3.5 inches, which is the standard size for desktop hard drives. This means that the hard drive will fit into any standard desktop computer case that is designed to accommodate 3.5-inch hard drives. Additionally, the 3.5-inch form factor makes it easy to install the hard drive in an external storage device, such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).
