Product Overview
The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah is a hard drive with a capacity of 73GB, designed for high-performance computing applications. It has a form factor of Ultra320 SCSI and a spindle speed of 15,000 rotations per minute (RPM). The hard drive has an 8MB buffer, which is used to store data temporarily while it is being transferred between the computer and the hard drive. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of the ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah hard drive in detail.
Form Factor and Interface
The form factor of a hard drive refers to its physical dimensions, which determines how it can be mounted in a computer system. The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah has a form factor of Ultra320 SCSI, which is a type of Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) that is commonly used in high-performance computing environments. SCSI is a standard interface that allows multiple devices to be connected to a single computer system, enabling faster data transfer rates and more reliable data transmission.
Storage Capacity and Spindle Speed
The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah has a storage capacity of 73GB, which is suitable for storing large amounts of data, such as applications, operating systems, and multimedia files. The hard drive has a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, which is faster than most conventional hard drives. The faster spindle speed means that the hard drive can access data more quickly, resulting in faster read and write times.
Buffer Size and Performance
The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah has an 8MB buffer, which is used to temporarily store data while it is being transferred between the computer and the hard drive. The buffer acts as a cache, improving the performance of the hard drive by reducing the amount of time required to access frequently used data. The larger the buffer size, the more data that can be cached, resulting in faster read and write times.
Reliability and Durability
The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah is designed to be reliable and durable, making it suitable for use in demanding computing environments. The hard drive has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 1.4 million hours, which is a measure of the average time that the hard drive is expected to operate without experiencing a failure. The hard drive also has a non-recoverable error rate of 1 in 10^16, which means that it is highly reliable and unlikely to experience data loss.
Compatibility and System Requirements
The ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX. The hard drive requires an Ultra320 SCSI interface, which may require a separate SCSI controller card if the computer system does not have a built-in SCSI interface. The hard drive also requires a 68-pin SCSI connector for data transfer.
In summary, the ST373454LC Seagate Cheetah is a high-performance hard drive designed for use in demanding computing environments. It has a storage capacity of 73GB, a spindle speed of 15,000 RPM, and an 8MB buffer, which combine to provide fast read and write times. The hard drive is reliable and durable, with a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating of 1.4 million hours, making it suitable for use in mission-critical applications. The hard drive is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and requires an Ultra320 SCSI interface and a 68-pin SCSI connector for data transfer.
