2.14Environmental protection

Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances.

2.14.1European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Direc- tive.

2.14.2China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains information mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" Standard.

"O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower than the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.

"X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard.

2.15Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use cau- tion exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condens- ing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive com- pounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replac- ing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

ST3500411SV, ST31000526SV, ST2000VX002, ST31000525SV specifications

Seagate, a stalwart name in the data storage industry, offers a range of hard disk drives that cater to various needs and applications. Three notable models are the ST3250311SV, ST3500410SV, and ST31000525SV, each designed with unique characteristics and features suitable for diverse environments, from personal computing to enterprise storage solutions.

The ST3250311SV is a 250GB SATA drive that operates at 7200 RPM, providing a solid balance of performance and capacity. One of its main features is its 8MB cache, which enhances read and write speeds, making it suitable for high-demand applications like gaming and multimedia. The drive is also designed with Seagate's advanced data protection technologies, including an intelligent error recovery system that serves to minimize data loss and increase reliability during operation.

Next in line, the ST3500410SV offers a larger capacity of 500GB, making it an excellent choice for users who require more storage. Like its counterpart, it operates at 7200 RPM but is equipped with a 16MB cache for even better performance. The drive is built on Seagate's perpendicular recording technology, which increases storage density and improves data integrity. The ST3500410SV is particularly well-suited for server environments, where reliability and speed are critical. Its advanced power management features help reduce energy consumption, making it a more eco-friendly option for data centers.

Finally, the ST31000525SV provides an impressive 1TB of storage capacity, leveraging the same 7200 RPM speed and 32MB cache as its predecessors. This model exemplifies Seagate's focus on enhancing user experiences with greater storage and quicker access times, fulfilling the demands of both consumer and enterprise markets. With features like S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), this drive helps users keep tabs on their drive's health and performance, anticipating potential failures and ensuring data security.

In summary, the Seagate ST3250311SV, ST3500410SV, and ST31000525SV drives showcase a range of capacities and features aimed at meeting the needs of today’s data-driven world.
