Features and Specifications
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive comes with a range of features that make it suitable for high-performance computing environments. Let’s take a closer look at its features and specifications.
Capacity
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive has a capacity of 450GB, which provides ample storage space for large data sets, applications, and multimedia content. This makes it ideal for use in data-intensive applications, such as databases, data analytics, virtualization, and cloud computing.
Spindle Speed
One of the key features of the Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive is its high spindle speed of 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). This results in faster data access times and shorter seek times, allowing for quick data retrieval and improved overall system performance. The high spindle speed makes the hard drive suitable for applications that require fast data processing and high I/O (Input/Output) performance, such as transactional databases and online transaction processing (OLTP) systems.
SAS Interface
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a speed of 6GBPS. The SAS interface is a high-speed, point-to-point interface that provides reliable and efficient data transfer between the hard drive and the host system. It offers advantages such as faster data transfer rates, improved data integrity, and support for longer cable lengths, making it suitable for use in enterprise-level storage environments.
Buffer Size
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive comes with a 16MB buffer, also known as a cache. The buffer acts as a temporary storage area for frequently accessed data, allowing for faster data retrieval and improved overall system performance. The large buffer size helps to reduce the time taken to access frequently used data, making the hard drive suitable for applications that require fast and efficient data access, such as data-intensive computing and real-time processing.
Form Factor
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive is designed in a 3.5-inch form factor, which is a standard size for enterprise-level hard drives. The 3.5-inch form factor makes the hard drive compatible with most standard drive bays and mounting systems, allowing for easy integration into existing server or storage configurations.
Reliability and Data Protection
Reliability and data protection are critical factors to consider in enterprise-level storage solutions. The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive incorporates several technologies and features to ensure reliable operation and data protection.
Rotational Vibration (RV) Sensors
The Seagate ST3450757SS hard drive is equipped with RV (Rotational Vibration) sensors that detect and mitigate the effects of vibrations caused by multiple hard drives operating in close proximity, such as in a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) or storage enclosure. The RV sensors help to maintain drive performance and prevent data loss due to vibrations, ensuring reliable operation in multi-drive environments.
