Overview of the Seagate ST3146807LW Hard Drive
The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah is a high-performance hard disk drive (HDD) designed for use in enterprise-level servers and workstations. It offers a storage capacity of 146GB, a spindle speed of 10000 revolutions per minute (RPM), and a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of each of these specifications, as well as the 8 Megabyte (MB) buffer and 3.5-inch form factor.
Storage Capacity
The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah has a storage capacity of 146GB, which is relatively small by today's standards but was considered high-capacity when the drive was first introduced in the mid-2000s. This capacity is sufficient for hosting an operating system, applications, and data for a small to medium-sized business.
Spindle Speed
The spindle speed of a hard disk drive refers to the number of revolutions per minute that the disks inside the drive spin. The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah has a spindle speed of 10000 RPM, which is considered fast for an enterprise-class drive. This high spindle speed allows for faster read and write times, which is especially important in servers and workstations where data access speed is critical.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Interface
The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah uses a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface, which is a type of high-performance interface commonly used in servers and workstations. SCSI interfaces offer faster data transfer rates and more reliable data transmission than standard interfaces like SATA and IDE. The SCSI interface also allows for more than one drive to be connected to the same controller, which can be useful in systems that require high levels of redundancy and reliability.
8 Megabyte (MB) Buffer
The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah has an 8 Megabyte (MB) buffer, also known as cache, which is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data. When data is read from or written to the hard disk drive, it is first loaded into the buffer so that it can be accessed more quickly the next time it is needed. The larger the buffer, the more data can be stored, which can result in faster access times.
3.5 Inch Form Factor
The Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah has a 3.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for hard disk drives used in desktop computers, servers, and workstations. This form factor allows the drive to be easily installed in most standard drive bays and enclosures, making it a convenient choice for system builders and IT professionals.
Overall, the Seagate ST3146807LW Cheetah is a high-performance hard disk drive designed for use in enterprise-level servers and workstations. It offers a storage capacity of 146GB, a spindle speed of 10000 RPM, a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface, an 8 Megabyte (MB) buffer, and a 3.5-inch form factor. These specifications make it an ideal choice for businesses that require fast data access and reliable performance.General Information about the Seagate ST3146807LW
