1. Technical details
- Modell: Seagate ST9250320AS
- Capacity: 250 GB (Gigabytes)
- Form factor: 2.5 inches
- Interface: SATA II (3 Gb/s)
- Cache memory: 8 MB
- Speed: 5400 rpm
- Average access time: Approx. 12 ms
- Mean time between failures (MTBF): Approximately 600,000 hours
- Power consumption: Typically 1.5 W in operation, 0.5 W in idle
- Dimensions: 69.85 x 100.55 x 9.50 mm (L x W x H)
- Weight: Approx. 95 g
2. Functions
- Advanced Format: The hard drive uses an advanced format that uses larger sectors (4 KB) instead of the traditional 512-byte sectors to increase storage density and efficiency.
- Shock Protection: Built-in technologies protect the hard drive from physical shocks and vibrations, making it more robust and durable.
- Quiet Operation: Designed to produce minimal noise levels, making them suitable for quiet environments such as offices and home offices.
- SATA II interface: Supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s, which is sufficient for most everyday applications, although newer models support SATA III and offer higher speeds.
3. Areas of application
- Laptops: Due to its 2.5-inch form factor, the ST9250320AS is particularly well suited for use in laptops, as it takes into account the compactness and power consumption of notebooks.
- Desktop PCs: Can be used as a secondary hard drive in desktop PCs to provide additional storage space or to upgrade existing systems.
- External Storage Enclosure: Can be used in external hard drive racks to provide a portable storage solution for backup or mobile data storage.
- Compact devices: Suitable for use in compact devices or older systems where space is limited.
