Introduction to ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB Hard Disk
The ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB hard disk drive is designed for enterprise-level storage applications that require high performance and reliability. It uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a popular interface used for connecting hard drives to computers. The SATA interface is capable of transmitting data at a speed of up to 6 Gigabytes per second (6Gbps), which is much faster than the older Parallel ATA (PATA) interface.
The hard drive has a capacity of 450GB, which means it can store up to 450 billion bytes of data. This is a relatively large capacity for a hard drive, which makes it suitable for storing large amounts of data such as multimedia files, databases, and virtual machines.
Form Factor
The ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB hard drive has a form factor of 3.5 inches. This is a standard form factor for desktop and server hard drives. The form factor refers to the physical size and shape of the hard drive, which determines how it can be installed and connected to the computer.
Rotational Speed
The hard drive has a rotational speed of 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The rotational speed refers to the number of times the platters inside the hard drive spin in a minute. A higher RPM means that the hard drive can read and write data faster because the read/write head can access data more quickly. However, higher RPMs also mean that the hard drive generates more heat and noise, which can be a concern in certain environments.
Buffer Size
The ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB hard drive has a buffer size of 16MB. The buffer size, also known as the cache size, refers to the amount of memory on the hard drive that is used to temporarily store data that is frequently accessed. The larger the buffer size, the more data the hard drive can store in memory, which can improve its performance by reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data.
SATA Interface
The SATA interface is a popular interface used for connecting hard drives to computers. It is capable of transmitting data at a speed of up to 6 Gigabytes per second (6Gbps), which is much faster than the older Parallel ATA (PATA) interface. The SATA interface also supports hot-swapping, which means that a hard drive can be removed or added without having to power down the computer.
Serial ATA 3.0
The ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB hard drive uses the Serial ATA 3.0 interface. Serial ATA 3.0 is the third generation of the SATA interface and is capable of transmitting data at a speed of up to 6 Gigabytes per second (6Gbps). It also includes new features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which can improve the performance of hard drives by allowing them to reorder commands in the most efficient way.
Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
The ST3450856FC Cheetah 450GB hard drive supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ). NCQ is a feature of the SATA interface that allows hard drives to optimize the order in which they process commands. This can improve the performance of hard drives by allowing them to process multiple commands simultaneously and by reordering commands in the most efficient way.
