The Seagate ST320LT012-9WS14C is an internal hard drive designed for various applications in desktop computers, laptops and external enclosures. This hard drive belongs to the Seagate Momentus series and is specifically designed for use in notebooks and portable computers. Here is a comprehensive description of the hard drive, including technical details, features and application areas:

Technical details


1. Capacity:
- Storage capacity: 320 GB (Gigabytes)
- This capacity provides ample storage for operating systems, applications, documents, photos, and other user data. It is ideal for users who need a solid amount of storage without having to resort to higher capacities.

2. Interface:
- SATA II (3 Gb/s): The hard drive uses the SATA II interface, which allows a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 3 Gb/s (about 300 MB/s). This interface is sufficient for most applications, although newer SATA III drives offer faster transfer rates.

3. Form factor:
- 2.5 inch: The 2.5 inch form factor is the standard form factor for notebook hard drives and portable storage solutions. It fits into most laptop bays and external hard drive enclosures designed for this form factor.

4. Speed:
- 5400 RPM: The hard drive runs at a speed of 5400 RPM (revolutions per minute). This is typical for notebook hard drives, as this speed offers a compromise between performance and power consumption. Higher speeds such as 7200 RPM offer better performance, but are usually found in desktop hard drives.

5. Cache memory:
- 8 MB: The hard drive is equipped with 8 MB of cache. The cache serves as temporary storage for frequently used data to speed up access to this data and improve performance.

6. Access times:
- Average access time: Typically around 12 ms (milliseconds). This time indicates how quickly the hard drive can respond to data requests. The average access time affects overall system performance and the speed at which programs and files load.

7. Power consumption:
- Power Consumption: The hard drive is designed for operation in laptops and portable devices and offers low power consumption to maximize battery life.

8. Volume:
- Operating noise: The hard drive operates quietly, making it ideal for environments where quiet operation is required.

9. Operating and storage temperature:
- Operating temperature: Typically from 0°C to 60°C.
- Storage temperature: Typically from -40°C to 70°C.
- These temperature ranges ensure that the hard drive operates reliably in different environments and can withstand a wide range of operating conditions.

Features


1. Performance:
- Good performance for everyday applications: With a capacity of 320 GB and a rotation speed of 5,400 RPM, the hard drive offers solid performance for most everyday applications such as web browsing, office applications and media playback.

2. Energy efficiency:
- Low power consumption: The hard drive is energy efficient and offers low power consumption, which contributes to extended battery life on laptops.

3. Reliability:
- Durability and stability: The hard drive is designed for use in portable devices and offers good reliability and durability.

4. Shock Protection:
- Shock Protection Technology: Seagate has implemented technologies to protect the hard drive against shock and vibration, making it more robust and durable, especially in mobile applications.

5. Automatic error correction:
- Error Correction Code (ECC): The hard drive uses ECC to detect and correct data errors, increasing data integrity and reducing the risk of data loss.

Scope


1. Notebook-Computer:
- Primary Drive: The ST320LT012-9WS14C is ideal for use in laptops as a primary drive to store operating systems and programs. Its energy efficiency and low noise make it an excellent choice for portable devices.

2. Portable hard drives:
- External Enclosures: The 2.5-inch form factor allows the hard drive to be used in external enclosures to provide portable storage solutions for backups or additional data capacity.

3. Desktop-Computer:
- Additional Storage: The hard drive can also be used in desktop computers as additional storage space, especially when the available space is needed for larger capacity or as a secondary drive.

4. Backup solutions:
- Data backup: The hard drive is suitable for backing up important data thanks to its solid capacity and reliability.

5. Smaller storage applications:
- Cost-effective storage options: Due to its capacity and cost, the hard drive is a cost-effective solution for smaller storage needs.

Conclusion


The Seagate ST320LT012-9WS14C is a reliable 320 GB 2.5-inch SATA II hard drive that stands out for its solid performance, energy efficiency and robustness. With a rotation speed of 5,400 rpm and an 8 MB cache, it offers a good balance between performance and power consumption. It is ideal for use in notebooks, portable hard drive systems and as additional storage in desktop computers. Its robust construction and shock protection technology ensure good reliability, while the low power consumption contributes to energy efficiency.
