The measurement of the ST380011A was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the ST380011A under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the ST380011A should be used.
The ST380011A is a hard drive from Seagate that offers a storage capacity of 80 GB. Here are the comprehensive details and specifications for this model:
Technical specifications:
- Model name: Seagate ST380011A
- Storage size: 80 GB
- Interface: IDE (PATA) ATA-100
- Form factor: 3.5 inches
- Speed: 7,200 rpm
- Cache: 2MB
- Access time: Approx. 8.5 ms
- Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C
- Weight: Approx. 600-700 g
Features:
- IDE (PATA) Interface: The hard drive uses an IDE (Parallel ATA) interface, which allows a maximum transfer rate of up to 100 MB/s. This is older than the newer SATA interfaces, but still offers solid performance for older systems.
- 7200 RPM rotation speed: The hard drive rotates at 7200 RPM, which offers a good balance between performance and noise levels. This results in faster access times compared to slower 5400 RPM hard drives.
- 2MB Cache: The built-in 2MB cache helps cache frequently used data to improve performance and reduce access times.
- Error Correction: The hard drive is equipped with error correction technologies to ensure data integrity and reliability.
Areas of application:
- Older computers: The ST380011A is particularly suitable for older computers and systems that still use IDE (PATA) interfaces, as it is not compatible with the newer SATA or NVMe interfaces.
- Data Storage and Backup: The hard drive can be used as a secondary drive for data storage and backup, especially in systems where the main storage is supplemented by a larger or faster SSD.
- System Upgrades: Can be used in older systems as a cost-effective upgrade to expand storage capacity without replacing the entire hard drive.
- Multimedia and personal data: Suitable for storing personal data such as documents, photos and music, although its limited capacity makes it less ideal for large data sets or modern applications.
Summary:
The Seagate ST380011A is an 80 GB hard drive with an IDE (PATA) interface that offers a maximum transfer rate of 100 MB/s. With a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM and a 2 MB cache, it offers solid performance for older systems. It is ideal for use in computers that still use IDE ports and can be used as additional storage or a backup solution. Despite its limited capacity, the ST380011A is a reliable choice for older hardware or specific applications that rely on IDE-based drives.
