The ST380011A is a hard drive from Seagate that is generally used as an external or internal storage solution. In the context of a "USB device," it could be a hard drive that connects to a USB port via an external enclosure or adapter. Here is the detailed information about this model:
1. General Description
The Seagate ST380011A is an 80GB hard drive from the Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 series designed for use in desktop PCs and external storage solutions. This hard drive offers a balance between capacity, performance and reliability and is known for its versatile application in various storage scenarios.
2. Technical Details
- Capacity: 80 GB. This capacity provides enough storage for a variety of applications, documents, pictures and videos, but may be better suited for lighter storage needs compared to modern higher capacity hard drives.
- Form Factor: 3.5 inches. The standard form factor for desktop hard drives, which can also be used for external enclosures.
- Interface: The internal interface of the ST380011A is ATA/133 (also known as Parallel ATA or PATA). For USB connection, an external enclosure or adapter that converts from ATA to USB is required.
- Rotation Speed: 7200 RPM. This rotation speed offers a good balance between performance and power consumption, with fast data access times and reasonable heat emissions.
- Cache Memory: 8 MB. Cache memory improves the read and write speed of the hard drive by temporarily storing frequently used data.
- Average access time: Approximately 8.5 ms. This indicates the average time it takes for the hard drive to access stored data.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 1,000,000 hours. This figure represents the average time between two failures and reflects the reliability of the hard drive.
- Operating temperature: 5 to 60 °C. This temperature range ensures that the hard drive functions reliably in most operating environments.
- Weight: Approximately 600 g. Typical for a 3.5-inch hard drive, which makes it easy to install in desktop PCs and external enclosures.
3. Features
- ATA/133 interface: This interface enables a maximum transfer rate of 133 MB/s, which offers good performance for older systems.
- SMART technology: The hard drive uses SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) to monitor the condition of the hard drive and provide early warning of possible errors.
- Acoustic Management: This feature reduces the noise level of the hard drive and ensures quieter operation, which is particularly beneficial in quiet working environments.
- Power Management: The hard drive offers features to reduce power consumption, resulting in lower running costs and less heat generation.
4. Application area
- Desktop PCs: Ideal for expanding the internal memory in desktop PCs to store additional data, programs or operating systems.
- External storage solutions: When built into an external enclosure, the ST380011A is ideal for external hard drive storage, backup solutions or mobile data storage.
- Backup and archiving purposes: With 80 GB capacity, the hard drive is well suited for backup and archiving purposes for personal data or smaller amounts of data.
- Small and medium-sized businesses: The ST380011A can also be used in small and medium-sized businesses to provide additional storage capacity for documents and data.
5. Special features
- Reliability: The ST380011A offers reliable performance for everyday storage needs thanks to its high MTBF and SMART technology.
- Flexibility: The ability to use the hard drive in an external enclosure makes it versatile and allows easy expansion of storage space.
- Noise reduction: The Acoustic Management function ensures that the hard drive operates quietly, which is an advantage in environments where noise must be minimized.
- Energy efficiency: The power management functions help save energy, which both lowers running costs and reduces environmental impact.
In summary, the Seagate ST380011A offers a reliable and versatile storage solution for various applications. Whether used internally in desktop PCs or as an external storage solution, it offers a good balance between capacity, performance and reliability for many storage needs.
