Description
Product Overview of Seagate ST1000NX0353
The ST1000NX0353 is a Seagate Enterprise hard drive with a capacity of 1 terabyte (TB) and a spindle speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). It is designed for use in servers and data centers where reliability and performance are critical. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of the ST1000NX0353 in detail.
Capacity and Form Factor
The ST1000NX0353 has a capacity of 1TB, which means it can store up to 1 trillion bytes of data. It uses the 2.5-inch form factor, which is the standard size for enterprise hard drives. The smaller form factor allows for greater storage density, which means more drives can be packed into a given space, increasing the storage capacity of servers and data centers.
Spindle Speed
The spindle speed of a hard drive refers to the rotational speed of its platters, which are the circular disks that store data. The ST1000NX0353 has a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, which is considered a high-speed drive in the enterprise market. This means that data can be accessed and written to the drive more quickly than on a slower drive, resulting in faster application and system performance.
Interface and Data Transfer Rate
The ST1000NX0353 uses the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which is the most common interface used in modern hard drives. It supports SATA 6.0Gbps, which is the fastest version of the SATA interface. This means that data can be transferred to and from the drive at a maximum rate of 6 gigabits per second, which is much faster than the previous versions of the interface.
Cache
The ST1000NX0353 has a cache size of 128 megabytes (MB), which is the amount of memory used to temporarily store data that the drive is reading or writing. The larger the cache size, the more data the drive can store and access quickly, resulting in faster performance. A larger cache also helps to reduce the wear and tear on the drive’s mechanical components, as it can read and write data more efficiently.
SED and 512e
The ST1000NX0353 is equipped with Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, which helps to protect data stored on the drive from unauthorized access. SED works by automatically encrypting data as it is written to the drive and decrypting it as it is read. This helps to prevent data breaches and other security incidents that can result in data loss or theft.
The ST1000NX0353 also uses the 512e format, which stands for 512 bytes per sector, emulated. This means that the drive presents itself to the operating system as having 512-byte sectors, even though the physical sectors on the drive are larger. This is done to maintain compatibility with older systems that may not support the larger sector sizes used by modern hard drives.
