Description
More Information
The Seagate Constellation ST3500414SS is a 500GB hard drive that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and has a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. The hard drive has a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM, which is slower than 10,000 RPM hard drives but still faster than 5,400 RPM hard drives. This model is targeted for enterprise level storage solutions and Servers.
Additionally this SAS interface enables high-speed data transfer, which makes it suitable for use in high-performance environments. This drive is an enterprise-class drive, designed to handle heavy workloads and deliver high-performance, reliability and stability. It is also designed to handle the frequent power fluctuations and vibration that are present in a data center environments.
High-performance
The Seagate Constellation ST3500414SS is a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive with a capacity of 500GB and a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM. The 6 Gbps data transfer rate of SAS interface allows for high-speed data transfer, making it suitable for use in high-performance environments such as enterprise-level storage systems and servers. The 7,200 RPM rotation speed is slower than 10,000 RPM hard drives but still faster than 5,400 RPM hard drives and provides faster data access times than slower hard drives.
Additionally, This drive is an enterprise-class drive, designed to handle heavy workloads and deliver high-performance, reliability and stability. It is also designed to handle the frequent power fluctuations and vibration that are present in a data center environments. With the endurance of the drive, it is capable of running 24/7, that can help minimize downtime.
It’s worth noting that the performance of a hard drive depends on many factors such as RAID setup, caching, system architecture and the workload, so actual performance may vary depending on the specific system and usage scenario.
General Compatibility
The Seagate Constellation ST3500414SS is a hard drive that uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface with a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, which means it is compatible with servers and storage systems that have SAS controllers and support 6 Gbps SAS. This drive is designed for enterprise-level storage solutions and servers and is compatible with any system that has a SAS controller and the necessary physical connections.
It is important to note that compatibility is not just limited to the physical and data transfer aspect, but also on the software level. You should also check that your operating system, controller cards, and other software components support the hard drive, especially if you’re looking to add it to an existing system.
Additionally, Hard drive firmware is also something to consider when adding new drives to an existing system, check that the firmware of the drive is compatible with your controller, and also check if there’s a newer firmware that could improve performance or fix known issues.
It’s also worth mentioning that this drive is a discontinued model, so it might be harder to find replacement components and parts or to get technical support for it, so you should consider this before purchasing the drive.
