Description
Product Information
The ST3500641NS Seagate 500GB 7.2K RPM hard drive is designed to deliver high-speed performance and reliability for users who require large storage capacity. It features a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for internal hard drives used in desktop computers and entry-level servers. It also uses the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which provides faster data transfer rates than older IDE interfaces.
Features
The ST3500641NS Seagate 500GB 7.2K RPM hard drive comes with several features that make it a reliable storage solution. These features include:
Capacity
The hard drive has a storage capacity of 500GB, which is ample space for storing a large amount of data, including documents, photos, music, and videos. This makes it an ideal choice for users who require a large storage capacity.
Interface
The ST3500641NS Seagate 500GB 7.2K RPM hard drive uses the SATA-II interface, which provides a maximum transfer rate of 3.0Gbps. The SATA-II interface is backward compatible with SATA-I, which means that it can be used with older computers that have the SATA-I interface. The SATA-II interface provides faster data transfer rates than the older IDE interfaces.
Buffer Size
The hard drive comes with a 16MB buffer size, which is the amount of memory used to temporarily store data that the hard drive is accessing. This helps to improve the overall performance of the hard drive by reducing the amount of time it takes to access data.
Spindle Speed
The hard drive has a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, which is faster than many other hard drives in its class. The spindle speed determines how fast the hard drive can read and write data. A faster spindle speed means that the hard drive can access data more quickly, which improves its overall performance.
Reliability
The ST3500641NS Seagate 500GB 7.2K RPM hard drive is designed to be reliable and durable. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1.2 million hours, which means that it is expected to last for a long time before it fails. This makes it an ideal choice for users who require a reliable and long-lasting storage solution.
