ST500LT0 ST500LT012-1DG14 SCSI Disk Device
The ST500LT0 ST500LT012-1DG14 is a 500GB hard drive from Seagate, designed as part of the Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD series. It combines the technology of HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and SSDs (Solid State Drives) in a hybrid drive optimized for improved performance while maintaining low power consumption. Here is a detailed description including technical details, features and application areas:
Technical details
1. Model name: Seagate ST500LT0 ST500LT012-1DG14
2. Capacity: 500 GB (Gigabytes)
3. Form factor: 2.5 inches (standard size for hard drives in laptops and compact computers)
4. Interface: SATA III (6 Gb/s), backwards compatible with SATA II (3 Gb/s) and SATA I (1.5 Gb/s)
5. Disk speed: 5400 rpm (revolutions per minute)
6. Cache memory: 8 MB
7. Average access time: Typically about 12 ms
8. Operating temperature range:
- Operating temperature: 0 °C to 60 °C
- Storage temperature: -40 °C to 70 °C
9. Weight: Approximately 95 g
10. Energy consumption:
- Idle: About 1.5 W
- Full operation: About 2.5 W
Features
1. Hybrid Technology: The ST500LT0 is a SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) that uses a combination of traditional HDD technology and a small SSD cache. The SSD cache (typically 8GB) accelerates frequently used data and applications, resulting in improved overall performance.
2. Cache Management: SSD cache is intelligently managed to speed up frequent read and write operations. This improves boot times and application loading times without having to dedicate all storage space to SSD.
3. Automatic Caching: SSHD technology uses algorithms to automatically detect frequently used data and store it in the fast SSD cache. This reduces the need for frequent access to the slower hard disk storage areas.
4. Power consumption and noise: The use of hybrid technology reduces power consumption and noise compared to traditional HDDs because frequent data access is accelerated by the SSD cache.
Scope
1. Laptops: The ST500LT0 is particularly well suited for laptops that need a balance between high storage capacity and faster performance. Hybrid technology improves system speed without relying on the full capacity of the storage as an SSD.
2. Compact Desktop PCs: Ideal for small desktop PCs or all-in-one systems that support 2.5-inch hard drives and require a mix of HDD capacity and SSD performance.
3. System Upgrades: Can be used to upgrade older systems with a traditional HDD and improve system performance through hybrid technology.
4. Storage Expansions: Useful as additional storage in systems that already have an SSD for the operating system and critical applications, but need more storage for data and programs.
Performance and reliability
- Performance: The combination of 5400 RPM hard drive speed and an SSD cache improves performance compared to a traditional HDD. The SSD cache ensures faster access to frequently used data and applications.
- Reliability: SSHD technology offers solid reliability by combining the advantages of HDD for large data volumes and SSD for speed. The hard drive is designed for use in mobile and compact devices and should offer a long service life and reliable operation.
Summary
The Seagate ST500LT0 ST500LT012-1DG14 is a 500GB 2.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) that uses SATA III and rotates at 5400 RPM. It combines the capacity of an HDD with the speed of an SSD cache to deliver balanced performance and cost-effectiveness. With an 8GB SSD cache, it optimizes access to frequently used data and applications, improves system speed, and reduces power consumption and noise compared to HDD-only drives. This SSD is ideal for laptops, compact desktops, and as a system upgrade option for older computers that need a mix of high capacity and faster performance.
