Description
More Information
The ST9160823AS Seagate 160GB SATA300 7.2K 8MB Form Factor Notebook Hard Drive is a notebook hard drive designed for use in laptop computers and other portable devices.
The storage capacity of 160GB means that the drive can store a moderate amount of data.
The rotation speed of 7,200 RPM is the standard speed for notebook hard drives. This speed is slower than the speed of desktop hard drives which typically run at 5400 or 7200 RPM, but it is still faster than the traditional hard drive which runs at 4200 RPM. This speed allows for moderate access to data stored on the drive, which improves the overall performance of the drive for mobile devices.
It uses a SATA III interface which is the latest version of the SATA interface and has a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps. This allows for faster data transfer between the drive and the host system, which improves performance.
Additionally, the 8MB cache allows for faster data access and improves the drive’s overall performance by storing frequently accessed data.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment(SATA)
The ST9160823AS is a hard drive model manufactured by Seagate. It has a storage capacity of 160GB and uses the SATA III interface, which is the latest version of the SATA interface.
The SATA III interface has a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps, which is faster than the previous SATA II (3 Gbps) and SATA (1.5 Gbps) interfaces. This allows for faster data transfer between the drive and the host system, which can improve the overall performance of the drive.
The hard drive has a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM, which is the standard speed for notebook hard drives. This speed is slower than the speed of desktop hard drives which typically run at 5400 or 7200 RPM, but it is still faster than the traditional hard drive which runs at 4200 RPM. This speed allows for moderate access to data stored on the drive, which improves the overall performance of the drive for mobile devices.
It also has an 8MB cache, which improves the drive’s overall performance by storing frequently accessed data.The drive is designed for use in laptops, netbooks, and other portable devices where moderate storage and fast data access are required. However, due to it’s SATA III interface, it could also be used in desktop computers as long as they have a compatible SATA III interface.
General Compatibility
The ST9160823AS Seagate 160GB SATA300 7.2K Notebook Hard Drive is a hard drive that uses the SATA III interface, which is compatible with most modern laptops and desktop computers. The SATA interface is a standard interface used for connecting storage devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives, to a computer’s motherboard.
The drive uses the standard 2.5 inch form factor which is typically used in laptops and other portable devices. This means that the drive can physically fit into the majority of laptops and portable devices that are designed to accept 2.5-inch hard drives.
It also supports a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps which is faster than the previous SATA II (3 Gbps) and SATA (1.5 Gbps) interfaces, so it will work with motherboards that support the SATA III interface.
As long as the device has a compatible interface, form factor, and power requirements the drive should be compatible. However, it is always recommended to check the device’s manual or the manufacturer’s website for more specific compatibility information.
It’s also important to note that while the drive is compatible with a system, it may not be fully supported by the operating system. It’s recommended to check the Operating system compatibility before installing the drive.
