Seagate M3 SCSI Disk Device
The Seagate M3 is commonly known as an external drive, but the term "SCSI Disk Device" could indicate a specific configuration or confusion about types. For this answer, I'll focus on the most common details of a Seagate M3 external drive and its related technologies, including the SCSI interface when it appears in older systems or special configurations.
Description
The Seagate M3 is a series of external hard drives that offer good performance, high capacity and ease of use. These drives are designed to provide additional storage capacity and flexibility for various applications. When talking about a "SCSI disk device" people often refer to the SCSI standard used in older systems, but for modern devices like the Seagate M3, USB interfaces are more common.
Technical details
- Capacities: Typically available in sizes ranging from 500GB to 4TB, depending on the specific model variant.
- Form factor: 2.5 inches (for portable models) or 3.5 inches (for desktop models)
- Interface: Usually USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, not SCSI in the modern M3 models. However, older or special models could connect via SCSI interfaces.
- Rotation speed: 5400 rpm for 2.5-inch models or 7200 rpm for 3.5-inch models.
- Cache memory: Typically 8MB to 64MB, depending on capacity and model.
- Average Access Time: Varies by model, typically around 12ms for 2.5" models and around 8ms for 3.5" models.
- Data transfer rate: Up to 5 Gbit/s for USB 3.0, corresponding to 625 MB/s theoretical.
- Power: USB-powered for portable models; desktop models often require a separate power supply.
Functions
- Plug and Play: The hard drives are generally equipped with a simple plug and play mechanism that allows immediate use without additional driver installation.
- Backup software: They often include software solutions for automated backups, such as Seagate Dashboard or similar tools, to simplify the backup of data.
- Data security: Many models offer encryption options and password protection to secure the data on the hard drive.
- Robustness: Robust casings for protection against physical damage, especially for portable models.
Areas of application
- Data Storage and Backup: Ideal for backing up important data and documents to have an additional backup of your data.
- Expanded Storage: Expands the storage capacity of desktop computers, laptops and even gaming consoles.
- Data Transfer: Convenient for transferring large amounts of data between different computers or devices.
- Multimedia Storage: Good for storing and managing large media files such as photos, videos and music.
Summary
The Seagate M3 Series is a versatile external hard drive designed for a variety of applications, from data archiving to high-speed backup. While the modern M3 Series communicates primarily via USB interfaces, the mention of "SCSI" may indicate specific or older models that may be used in special system configurations. The M3 hard drives offer a combination of high capacity, ease of use, and additional security features to meet users' storage needs.
