6.4.4.2Vibration

a.Operating - normal

The drive as installed for normal operation, shall comply with the complete specified performance while subjected to continuous vibration not exceeding

5-500 Hz @ 1.0 G (zero to peak)

Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

Operating normal translational random flat profile

10 - 400 Hz

0.5 GRMS

b.Operating - abnormal

The drive as installed for normal operation shall not incur physical damage while subjected to periodic vibration not exceeding:

15 minutes of duration at major resonant frequency 5-500 Hz @ 1.5 G (X, Y, or Z axis, zero to peak)

Vibration occurring at these levels may degrade operational performance during the abnormal vibration period. Specified operational performance will continue when normal operating vibration levels are resumed.

Operating abnormal translational random flat profile

10 - 400 Hz

1.2 GRMS

c.Non-operating

The limits of non-operating vibration shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive shall not incur physical damage or degraded performance as a result of continuous vibration not exceeding

5-22 Hz @ 0.040 inches (1.02 mm) displacement (zero to peak) 22-500 Hz @ 3.00 G

Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

Non-operating translational random flat profile

10 - 400 Hz

1.2 GRMS

6.4.5Air cleanliness

The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.

6.4.6Corrosive 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 caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corro- sive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The sil- ver, 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 condensing 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 vulca- nized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

ST3300007LW/LC, ST373207LW/LC, ST3146707LW/LC specifications

Seagate's ST3146707LW/LC, ST373207LW/LC, and ST3300007LW/LC are part of the company's renowned line of hard disk drives (HDDs), specifically designed for enterprise and high-performance computing environments. With their reliability and performance, these drives have become popular choices for data centers and critical applications requiring extensive storage capabilities.

One of the standout features of these models is their capacity to handle large volumes of data. The ST3146707LW/LC has a capacity of 146GB, while the ST373207LW/LC offers 73GB, and the ST3300007LW/LC comes with a substantial 300GB. These capacities make them well-suited for applications that require not only high storage space but also rapid access to data.

In terms of performance, these drives utilize a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, which significantly enhances data access times and overall performance. The combination of fast rotational speeds with Seagate's advanced caching algorithms allows for swift data retrieval, making these drives ideal for environments where speed is crucial.

These HDDs also employ the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) interface, which promises high data transfer rates and reliability in enterprise-level applications. The Ultra320 SCSI interface can support transfer rates up to 320 MB/s, ensuring that the drives can efficiently communicate with other system components.

Another key technology featured in these models is Seagate's Adaptive Error Correction technology, which enhances data integrity and reliability. This feature helps in the detection and correction of errors that can occur during data transfer, reducing the risk of data loss.

Performance consistency is critical in enterprise environments, and these drives are built to endure the demands of 24/7 operation. They are designed with robust mechanisms to withstand temperature fluctuations, shock, and vibrations commonly found in data center settings.

In summary, the Seagate ST3146707LW/LC, ST373207LW/LC, and ST3300007LW/LC hard drives exemplify advanced features and technologies tailored for enterprise storage solutions. With significant capacities, impressive spindle speeds, SCSI connectivity, and reliability-focused technologies, these drives remain a valuable asset for businesses relying on stable and high-performance data storage.
