3. Functions
- ATA/133 Interface: The hard drive uses the ATA/133 interface, which supports data transfer rates of up to 133 MB/s. This enables good performance for many desktop applications, although the interface is slower compared to modern SATA interfaces.
- 7,200 RPM Speed: The hard drive rotates at 7,200 RPM, which offers good performance for desktop systems by providing relatively fast access times and data transfer rates.
- 16MB Cache: The built-in 16MB cache improves performance by storing frequently accessed data and reducing data access times.
- Native Command Queuing (NCQ): Support for NCQ optimizes the order of read and write commands, which can improve performance when accessing multiple blocks of data simultaneously, although NCQ is limited or absent on PATA disks.
- Shock Protection: The hard drive is equipped with protective mechanisms to minimize damage caused by shocks or vibrations, which increases its reliability.
4. Scope of application
- Desktop PCs: The ST3500414CS is ideal for use in desktop PCs, where it can be used as the main drive for operating systems, applications and personal data.
- System Upgrades: The hard drive is well suited for users who need larger storage capacity and want to perform a system upgrade from smaller or older hard drives.
- Data backup: Due to its capacity, the hard drive can also be used as a backup solution to store important data and back it up regularly.
- Multimedia storage: The hard drive can be used to store multimedia files such as photos, videos and music as it offers enough space for large amounts of data.
5. Additional information
- Compatibility: The hard drive is compatible with any system that supports an ATA/133 connector. Since ATA is an older interface, it is not compatible with modern SATA connectors. An adapter may be required to use the hard drive in newer systems.
- Reliability: Seagate is known for reliable hard drives, and the ST3500414CS offers good reliability for everyday tasks. Lifespan depends on usage and operating conditions.
- Warranty: The hard drive is usually offered with a limited warranty of 3 to 5 years, depending on the region and place of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides additional security for the user.
In summary, the ST3500414CS ATA Device from Seagate offers a solid storage solution with a capacity of 500 GB and the ATA/133 interface. It is well suited for desktop PCs, system upgrades and as a backup solution. With its combination of 7,200 RPM speed, 16 MB cache and solid performance, it offers reliable performance for a wide range of storage applications.
