Hard Drive Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB:The Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB hard drive belongs among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 monitoring systems, e.g. security cameras. 3.5 HDDs are designed chiefly for data centres and desktop PCs. One of the main parameters is obviously the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM delivers improved performance and data speeds. The hard disk provides a storage capacity of 10000 GB. The drive uses a 256 MB memory cache. You can connect the Seagate hard disk and other hardware is takes place via the SATA III interface. Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB Hard Drive Key Features Read speed up to 250 MB/s and write speed up to 250 MB/s 256 MB memory cache Seagate 3.5 disk for ordinary drive bays Maximum power consumption 6,9 W Power consumption under standard load is 4,9 W, while in stand-by mode it makes 1.2 W The data transfer is facilitated using the SATA III interface Although standard HDDs are a tad more fragile due to their mechanical parts, but its also the most cost-effective storage solution available Other Hard Drive Features The HDD boasts a unique design. The enclosure conceals a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts dont take shocks and impact well, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key criterion that determines the speed of a hard disk is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). With the Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB, we have 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is welcome news for people with higher requirements, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. System responsivity and stability is also influenced by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate platter drive includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their prompt retrieval and reading. Connecting the Seagate Hard Disk If you want to install the Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB in the device of your choice, it must be equipped with a 3.5 slot. The communication between the HDD and PC is done using the SATA III interface, boasting a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. The technology is one of the most popular HDD data transfer options available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
