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.

6.4.8RoHS compliance statement

The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.

A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the representations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials for the disc drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.

Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat- ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora- tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that we comply with all standard operating procedures.

ST3450056FC (FDE), ST3146756FC (FDE), ST3300056FC (FDE) specifications

Seagate has established itself as a leader in data storage solutions, and among its high-performance offerings are the Seagate ST3300056FC (FDE), ST3146756FC (FDE), and ST3450056FC (FDE) drives. These drives are part of Seagate's enterprise-class, 3.5-inch form factor family, providing robust data security, reliability, and performance for demanding data center environments.

The ST3300056FC boasts a capacity of 3TB, making it ideal for applications that require substantial storage space. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this drive delivers rapid data access speeds and high throughput, catering to the needs of enterprise workflows and data-intensive applications. The FDE (Full Disk Encryption) feature ensures that all stored data is encrypted, providing an added layer of protection against unauthorized access, which is critical for businesses handling sensitive information.

Similarly, the ST3146756FC offers a 1.4TB capacity, also spinning at 7200 RPM and utilizing a 6Gb/s SAS interface. As with its counterpart, this drive incorporates FDE technology, making it an excellent choice for environments that prioritize data security while maintaining performance. The SAS interface enhances connectivity options and further improves reliability and data integrity, essential for mission-critical applications.

The ST3450056FC, with a capacity of 4.5TB, stands out as a powerful option for storage needs that exceed traditional offerings. With the same 7200 RPM spindle speed and 6Gb/s SAS interface, it ensures optimal performance across various workloads. The FDE functionality further enhances its appeal, making it suitable for organizations that must comply with stringent data protection regulations.

All three drives are built with Seagate's advanced technologies, including PowerBalance, which maximizes the spindle performance while optimizing power consumption and thermal management. They are also designed with vibration tolerance, enhancing their reliability in multi-drive systems and environments where space and airflow may be limited.

In summary, the Seagate ST3300056FC, ST3146756FC, and ST3450056FC drives exemplify cutting-edge engineering, catering to enterprise needs with their impressive capacities, robust performance, and built-in security. They are well-suited for organizations that prioritize reliability and data integrity, making them a vital component of modern storage infrastructures.
