Description
Overview of HDD
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital data using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks. The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda is a type of hard disk drive that is designed for use in desktop computers, servers, and other devices that require high-capacity storage.
Capacity and Speed
The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda has a storage capacity of 400 gigabytes (GB), which means it can store a large amount of data. It operates at a speed of 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM), which is the standard speed for desktop hard drives. This means that it can read and write data quickly, making it ideal for tasks that require fast data access, such as gaming or video editing.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface to connect to a computer’s motherboard. SATA is a type of data transfer technology that is faster and more reliable than its predecessor, the Parallel ATA (PATA) interface. The SATA interface allows for faster data transfer speeds, which is essential for modern computing applications that require high-speed data access.
Buffer
The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda has a buffer size of 16 megabytes (MB), which is the amount of memory that is used to temporarily store data before it is written to or read from the hard drive. The larger the buffer, the faster data can be written and read from the hard drive. This makes the Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda a great choice for applications that require large data transfers or frequently access small files.
Form Factor
The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda has a 3.5-inch large form factor (LFF) and a low profile (1.0 inch) design. The LFF form factor is the standard size for desktop hard drives, while the low profile design allows it to fit into smaller spaces, such as small form factor (SFF) desktop computers. This makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of computing applications.
Reliability and Durability
The Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda is designed to be reliable and durable. It uses advanced features such as Seagate’s Perpendicular Recording technology, which improves data reliability and reduces data loss. It also has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 750,000 hours, which means it is expected to last a long time without any issues. Additionally, it has a low power consumption of 8 watts when active, which makes it energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
Finally, the Seagate ST3400633AS Barracuda is a high-quality hard disk drive that is designed to provide reliable and fast storage for desktop computers, servers, and other devices. It has a large storage capacity of 400 GB, operates at a speed of 7200 RPM, uses the SATA interface, has a 16 MB buffer size, and is designed with a 3.5-inch LFF form factor and low profile design. Its advanced features and low power consumption make it a great choice for a wide range of computing applications.
