The ST3320613AS is a 320 GB hard drive from Seagate based on the SCSI interface. It belongs to Seagate's Barracuda series and is designed for use in desktop computers and servers. Here is a detailed description of the technical details, features and application areas of the ST3320613AS:
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 320 GB: The hard drive offers a storage capacity of 320 gigabytes, which provides enough space for operating systems, applications and data for most desktop and server applications.
2. Form Factor:
- 3.5 inch: The hard drive has the standard 3.5 inch form factor, which is widely used in desktop PCs and external hard drive enclosures.
3. Interface:
- SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps): The ST3320613AS uses the SATA III (SATA 3.0) interface, which supports a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps (600 MB/s). This interface enables fast data transfer and is backwards compatible with older SATA versions.
4. Rotational Speed:
- 7,200 RPM: The hard drive rotates at 7,200 revolutions per minute, which provides good data transfer performance and is faster than 5,400 RPM hard drives.
5. Cache Memory:
- 16 MB: The hard drive is equipped with a 16 MB cache that improves performance by quickly providing frequently accessed data and reducing access times.
6. Data transfer rates:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 110 MB/s
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 100 MB/s
- Maximum IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second): The IOPS may vary depending on the access pattern, typically in the range of 70,000 to 80,000 IOPS.
7. Error correction and data integrity:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): The hard drive supports SMART to monitor the health of the hard drive and detect possible failures early.
- ECC (Error Correction Code): Uses error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and minimize data errors.
8. Operating Conditions:
- Operating Temperature: Typically between 0 and 60 °C.
- Storage Temperature: Between -40 and 70 °C.
9. Power Consumption:
- Operating Power Consumption: Approximately 7 to 9 watts.
- Idle Power Consumption: Approximately 6 watts.
10. Lifespan and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- MTBF: The hard drive has an average lifespan of approximately 750,000 to 1,000,000 hours, making it a reliable choice for use in desktop computers and servers.
Features
1. High Capacity:
- 320 GB Storage: The hard drive provides ample storage for operating systems, programs and media files, ideal for desktop computers and smaller servers.
2. Good performance:
- 7,200 RPM: The 7,200 RPM rotation speed ensures reasonable performance in data transfer and access times.
3. Cache memory:
- 16 MB cache: The cache improves the overall performance of the hard drive by providing frequently accessed data more quickly and reducing access times.
4. Energy efficiency:
- Optimized power consumption: The hard drive offers reasonable performance with relatively low power consumption, resulting in better energy efficiency.
5. Reliability:
- Error correction: Support for SMART and ECC ensures high data integrity and enables early detection of potential problems.
Application area
1. Desktop computers:
- Primary storage: Ideal for desktop PCs where a good balance between performance, capacity and cost is required.
- Expansion: Can be used as additional storage space for desktop systems to store more data, programs and media files.
2. External Hard Drive Enclosures:
- External Storage Solutions: Can be used in external hard drive enclosures to provide a portable storage solution for backups, data transfer and additional storage needs.
3. Servers:
- Smaller Servers: Can be used in small server systems or as additional storage space in larger servers where good performance and capacity are required.
4. Backup and Archiving:
- Data Protection: Ideal for storing and backing up data, documents and media files in a desktop or external storage format.
5. Power Efficient Applications:
- Low Power Consumption: Particularly suitable for applications where power efficiency is important, such as in older desktop PCs or as additional storage in servers.
