9.6.4.1Mating connectors for LW model drives

The nonshielded cable connector shall be a 68 conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 male contacts with adjacent contacts 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) apart.

Recommended mating flat cable connector part numbers are:

Amp Model 786096-7 Female, 68-pin, panel mount

Amp Model 786090-7 Female, 68-pin, cable mount

Amp Model 749925-5 (50 mil conductor centers, 28 or 30 AWG wire)

Use two, 34 conductor, 50 mil center flat cable with this connector. This type connector can only be used on cable ends. [1]

Amp Model 88-5870-294-5 W/O Strain Relief (25 mil conductor centers, 30 AWG wire).

Use either on cable ends or in cable middle section for daisy-chain installations [1].

Amp Model 1-480420-0 Power connector 4 circuit housing

Berg 69307-012

12-position, 2 x 6, 2 mm receptacle housing

[1]See Figure 24.

The drive device connector is a nonshielded 68-conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 female pins with adjacent pins 50 mils apart. The connector is keyed by means of its shape (see Figure 25).

9.6.4.2Mating connectors for LC model drives

The nonshielded connector shall be an 80-conductor connector consisting of two rows of 40 contacts with adja- cent contacts 50 (1.27 mm) mils apart (see Figure 26). I/O connection using a cable is not recommended. The length and size of the host equipment DC power carrying conductors from the DC power source to the host equipment 80-pin disc drive interface connector(s) should be strictly designed according to proper power trans- mission design concepts. No possibility for the equipment user to attach an 80-pin cable/connector should be allowed, since the length of the DC power carrying conductors could not be controlled and therefore could become too long for safe power transmission to the drive. Multiconnector 80-conductor cables should espe- cially not be allowed, since the power-carrying conductors on the 80-conductor interface were not intended to support a series of drives.

To insure that both drive connector and host equipment mating connector mate properly, both drive connector and host equipment mating connector must meet the provisions of “SFF-8451 Specification for SCA-2 Unshielded Connections.” To obtain this specification, visit the following web site: www.sffcommittee.org

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.
