Description
Product Overview
The ST3146855SS Cheetah is an internal hard disk drive made by Seagate, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hard drives. This hard drive is designed for use in servers, workstations, and other high-performance computing environments. In this article, we will discuss the various features and specifications of the ST3146855SS Cheetah, including its capacity, speed, interface, buffer size, form factor, and more.
Capacity
The ST3146855SS Cheetah has a capacity of 146 gigabytes (GB), which means it can store up to 146 billion bytes of data. This is a significant amount of storage space, especially considering that this hard drive is designed for use in enterprise-level computing environments where large amounts of data are generated and processed on a regular basis.
Speed
The ST3146855SS Cheetah is a high-performance hard drive that operates at 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM). This means that the disk spins at a very high speed, which allows it to read and write data much faster than slower hard drives. In addition to its high rotational speed, the ST3146855SS Cheetah also has a fast data transfer rate of 3 gigabytes per second (Gbps), which means that it can transfer data at a rate of 3 billion bytes per second.
Interface
The ST3146855SS Cheetah uses a Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a type of interface that is commonly used in enterprise-level computing environments. SAS is a high-speed, point-to-point interface that allows for fast data transfer rates and provides reliable connectivity between devices. The SAS interface is designed to be compatible with a wide range of storage devices, including hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and tape drives.
Buffer size
The ST3146855SS Cheetah has a 16 megabyte (MB) buffer, which is a type of memory that is used to temporarily store data as it is being read from or written to the hard drive. The buffer helps to improve the performance of the hard drive by allowing it to read and write data more efficiently. The larger the buffer size, the more data the hard drive can store in its memory, which can help to speed up data transfer rates.
Form factor
The ST3146855SS Cheetah is a 3.5-inch low profile internal hard disk drive. This means that it is designed to fit into the standard 3.5-inch drive bays that are found in most desktop and server computer cases. The low profile design of the hard drive means that it is thinner than standard 3.5-inch hard drives, which can help to save space in tight computer cases.
Overall, the ST3146855SS Cheetah is a high-performance internal hard disk drive that is designed for use in enterprise-level computing environments. It has a capacity of 146 gigabytes (GB), operates at 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM), and has a fast data transfer rate of 3 gigabytes per second (Gbps). The hard drive uses a Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface and has a 16 megabyte (MB) buffer to improve performance. It is a 3.5-inch low profile internal hard disk drive that is made by Seagate, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hard drives. If you are looking for a reliable and high-performance hard drive for your server or workstation, the ST3146855SS Cheetah is definitely worth considering.
