ST3200822AS ATA Device
The ST3200822AS is an internal hard drive from Seagate that belongs to the Barracuda 7200.10 series. This series is known for its high performance and reliability in desktop computers. The hard drive offers a solid combination of capacity, speed and price-performance ratio. Here you will find a detailed description of the technical details, functions and areas of application of the Seagate ST3200822AS.
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- Storage capacity: 200 GB
- At 200GB, the hard drive provides ample space for the operating system, applications, media files, and personal data. This is a moderate capacity that is suitable for many desktop applications and as a secondary drive.
2. Interface:
- SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s): The hard drive uses the SATA I interface, which allows a maximum data transfer rate of up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). This interface is older than the SATA II and SATA III interfaces, but still offers acceptable speeds for many applications.
3. Form factor:
- 3.5 inch: The 3.5 inch form factor is standard for desktop PCs and external enclosures. This larger form factor is not suitable for laptops, but for desktop computers and similar systems.
4. Speed:
- Revolutions per minute (RPM): 7,200 RPM
- The hard drive runs at a speed of 7,200 RPM, resulting in fast data access times and high transfer rates. This speed is faster than the more common 5,400 RPM and improves system performance.
5. Cache memory:
- Cache: 8 MB
- The hard disk is equipped with an 8 MB cache that acts as a buffer for frequently accessed data. A larger cache can improve performance in data processing and transfer.
6. Transfer rate:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 75 MB/s
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 75 MB/s
- These transfer rates are typical for 7200 RPM hard drives and provide acceptable performance for general applications and data access.
7. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Lifespan: The hard drive has an MTBF of approximately 600,000 hours. This is an estimate of the average operating time before likely failure and indicates a reliable hard drive.
8. Temperature range:
- Operating and Storage Temperature: The hard drive can typically operate at operating temperatures of 0°C to 60°C and be stored at storage temperatures of -40°C to 70°C. These specifications ensure reliable performance under various conditions.
9. Power consumption:
- Typical Power Consumption: The hard drive is designed to have low power consumption during operation and idle to save energy and minimize heat generation.
Features
1. Performance:
- Fast access times: At 7,200 RPM, the ST3200822AS offers fast data access times that improve desktop computer performance. This speed provides better system response and shorter load times compared to slower hard drives.
2. Energy efficiency:
- Optimized power consumption: The hard drive is designed to minimize power consumption, which is especially important for desktop systems to reduce operating costs and reduce heat generation.
3. Reliability:
- Error Correction: The ST3200822AS uses error correction technologies to ensure data integrity and extend the life of the hard drive. These technologies help prevent data errors and increase reliability.
4. Thermal management:
- Efficient Cooling: The hard drive is designed to dissipate heat efficiently to avoid overheating and maintain stable performance.
5. Noise reduction:
- SilentSeek Technology: The hard drive uses noise reduction technologies to make it operate more quietly. This is especially beneficial in quiet work environments.
6. Advanced Format:
- 4K Sectors: The ST3200822AS uses Advanced Format technology with 4K sectors, which provides higher storage density and improved error correction. This can improve the overall performance of the hard drive.
Scope
