The ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive is a high-performance data storage device manufactured by Seagate. It has a storage capacity of 73.4 gigabytes (GB) and a rotational speed of 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The hard disk drive is designed with a 68PIN Ultra320 Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface. In this article, we will explore in detail the various features and specifications of the ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive.
Capacity and PerformanceThe ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive has a storage capacity of 73.4 gigabytes (GB). This storage capacity is suitable for storing a large amount of data, including documents, photos, videos, and music files. Additionally, it has a rotational speed of 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which ensures fast read and write speeds. The high rotational speed also ensures quick access to data stored on the hard disk drive.
SCSI InterfaceThe ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive is designed with a 68PIN Ultra320 Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) interface. The SCSI is a type of interface that enables communication between the hard disk drive and the computer. The SCSI is known for its fast transfer speeds and high reliability. It is also compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Rotational Speed (RPM)One of the standout features of this HDD is its high rotational speed of 15,000 RPM. This rapid spin enhances data access speeds, resulting in quicker file transfers and reduced latency. The 15K RPM speed is particularly beneficial for tasks that demand swift read and write operations, such as data-intensive applications and server environments.
Reliability and DurabilityThe ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive is designed with reliability and durability in mind. It is built with high-quality components and is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure it can withstand harsh operating conditions. The hard disk drive has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1.4 million hours, which means it can operate for a long time without any failures.
Noise and Power ConsumptionThe ST373454LW Cheetah hard disk drive is designed to operate quietly and with minimal power consumption. The hard disk drive has a noise level of 3.0 belts when idle and 3.6 belts when operating. This low noise level ensures that the hard disk drive does not produce any unwanted noise when in use. Additionally, the hard disk drive has a power consumption of 13.3 watts when idle and 17.6 watts when operating. This low power consumption makes it an energy-efficient data storage device.
Performance AssessmentSpeed and ThroughputThe 15,000 RPM rotational speed of the Seagate ST373454LW directly contributes to its impressive data transfer rates. The faster the rotation, the quicker the read and write operations, making it well-suited for scenarios where speed is of the essence, such as in servers, workstations, and environments with high input/output demands.
Reliability and DurabilitySeagate has a reputation for manufacturing reliable storage solutions, and the ST373454LW is no exception. The robust design and build quality of this HDD contribute to its overall durability, ensuring a longer lifespan and minimizing the risk of data loss due to hardware failures.
Compatibility and FlexibilityThe 68PIN Ultra320 SCSI enhances compatibility with a wide range of systems, including legacy hardware that supports SCSI technology. This makes the ST373454LW a versatile choice for users with diverse storage needs, allowing integration into various computing environments without the need for extensive hardware upgrades.
