The Seagate ST300MX0012 is an enterprise-class hard drive designed to provide high performance and reliability for mission-critical applications. With a capacity of 300GB and a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, this drive delivers fast data access and transfer rates, making it ideal for use in data centers, cloud computing, and other demanding environments.
SAS Interface and 12Gbps SpeedThe Seagate ST300MX0012 uses the SAS interface, which stands for Serial Attached SCSI. This interface is a high-speed, point-to-point communication protocol used to connect devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and other storage devices to a computer or server. The SAS interface is designed to provide faster data transfer rates and more reliable data transmission than the older SCSI interface.
In addition, the Seagate ST300MX0012 supports a transfer rate of up to 12Gbps, which is twice as fast as the previous generation of SAS drives. This high-speed interface enables the drive to deliver fast data access and transfer rates, making it ideal for use in high-performance computing applications.
Spindle Speed and 15K RPMThe Seagate ST300MX0012 has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which is faster than the typical 7,200 RPM speed of most desktop hard drives. This high spindle speed enables the drive to deliver fast data access and transfer rates, which is critical for applications that require high performance, such as database servers, virtualization, and cloud computing.
128MB Cache and 512e FormatThe Seagate ST300MX0012 has a 128MB cache, which is a small amount of high-speed memory that acts as a buffer between the drive and the computer's memory. The cache stores frequently accessed data, which can be quickly retrieved by the computer, reducing access times and improving overall system performance.
In addition, the Seagate ST300MX0012 uses the 512e format, which stands for 512-byte emulation. This format enables the drive to be compatible with older systems that use 512-byte sector sizes, while also supporting newer systems that use 4KB sector sizes. This compatibility makes the drive ideal for use in legacy systems as well as modern systems.
Reliability and DurabilityThe Seagate ST300MX0012 is designed for use in enterprise-class applications, where reliability and durability are critical. The drive is built with high-quality components and features advanced technologies that enhance its reliability and durability.
One such technology is Seagate's PowerChoice, which enables users to customize power settings to help reduce power consumption and extend the life of the drive. This feature is especially important in data centers, where reducing power consumption can result in significant cost savings.
Another technology is Seagate's RAID Rebuild, which is a feature that helps reduce the time and effort required to rebuild a failed RAID array. This feature is important in environments where downtime is not acceptable, as it enables the drive to quickly and easily recover from a failure.
In Summary, the Seagate ST300MX0012 is an enterprise-class hard drive designed to provide high performance and reliability for mission-critical applications. With a capacity of 300GB, a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, and support for the SAS interface at 12Gbps, this drive delivers fast data access and transfer rates, making it ideal for use in data centers, cloud computing, and other demanding environments.
The drive also features a 128MB cache and uses the 512e format, which enables it to be compatible with older and newer systems. In addition, advanced technologies such as PowerChoice and RAID Rebuild enhance the drive's reliability and durability, making it an ideal choice for enterprise-class applications.
