The ST3500418AS is a 3.5-inch hard disk drive designed to fit in standard desktop computer bays. In this article, we will dive into more detail about the specifications, features, and benefits of the ST3500418AS Seagate hard disk drive.
Storage CapacityThe Seagate Barracuda ST3500418AS has a storage capacity of 500GB, which means it can store up to 500GB of data. This is equivalent to approximately 125,000 songs, 100,000 photos, or 50 hours of HD video. The storage capacity of this hard disk drive makes it a perfect option for individuals or businesses that require a moderate amount of storage space for their digital content.
Spin SpeedThe spin speed of a hard disk drive refers to the speed at which the disk inside the hard drive rotates. In the case of the ST3500418AS, the disk spins at 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). This is considered a high spin speed and offers excellent performance for the hard disk drive. Hard disk drives with higher spin speeds tend to offer better performance but consume more power and generate more heat.
InterfaceThe ST3500418AS uses the SATA-II interface. SATA stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, and it is a type of interface used to connect hard disk drives, solid-state drives, and optical drives to a computer's motherboard. The SATA-II interface offers a maximum data transfer rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is equivalent to 375 megabytes per second (MB/s). This interface is backwards compatible with SATA-I, which has a maximum data transfer rate of 1.5Gbps.
Cache MemoryCache memory is a small amount of high-speed memory that a hard disk drive uses to temporarily store data that is frequently accessed. The ST3500418AS has a cache memory of 16MB, which means it can temporarily store up to 16MB of frequently accessed data. The presence of a cache memory improves the performance of the hard disk drive, as the computer can access frequently used data much faster than if it had to read it from the disk every time.
Form FactorThe ST3500418AS is a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, which means it is designed to fit in standard desktop computer bays. This form factor is beneficial for businesses that require a lot of storage space, as it allows for more hard disk drives to be installed in a single desktop computer.
