2.1.2Electromagnetic compliance

Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the directives/standards for CE Marking and C-Tick Marking. The drive was tested in a representative system for typical applications. The selected sys- tem represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include:

•Typical current use microprocessor

•3.5-inch floppy disc drive

•Keyboard

•Monitor/display

•Printer

•External modem

•Mouse

Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and provide the appropriate marking for their product.

Electromagnetic compliance for the European Union

If this model has the CE Marking it complies with the European Union requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC of 03 May 1989 as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.

Australian C-Tick

If this model has the C-Tick Marking it complies with the Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS3548 1995 and meets the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of Australia’s Spectrum Man- agement Agency (SMA).

Korean MIC

If this model has the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) logo, it complies with paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Control Regulation and meets the Electromagnetic Compatibility Framework requirements of the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) Ministry of Information and Communication Republic of Korea.

This drive has been tested and complies with the Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Susceptibiliity (EMI/EMS) for Class B products.

Taiwanese BSMI

If this model has the Chinese National Standard (CNS) 13438 marking, it complies with Chinese National Stan- dard (CNS) 13438 and meets the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of the Tai- wanese Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection (BSMI).

2.2European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

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 rep- resentations 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.

ST3146855FC, ST373455FC, ST3300655FC specifications

Seagate is renowned for its commitment to high-performance data storage solutions, and their range of enterprise drives, including the ST3300655FC, ST373455FC, and ST3146855FC, demonstrates this dedication. These models cater to businesses requiring robust, reliable, and efficient hard disk drives (HDDs) designed for demanding environments.

The ST3300655FC offers a capacity of 300 GB, making it suitable for a variety of enterprise applications. It utilizes a 15,000 RPM spindle speed, which significantly enhances its performance, delivering quick read and write times. This drive supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, ensuring faster data transfer rates and reliability essential for critical computing environments. The dual-port connectivity of SAS allows for enhanced fault tolerance and redundancy, making the ST3300655FC ideal for data centers and enterprise storage systems.

Following closely, the ST373455FC provides a slightly larger capacity of 734 GB while maintaining the same 15,000 RPM speed. This drive's design focuses on high availability, making it an excellent choice for applications that require continuous uptime. Like its counterpart, it also benefits from the SAS interface, ensuring that data can be accessed quickly and reliably. The robust construction of the ST373455FC guarantees consistent performance under heavy workloads, an essential characteristic for enterprise use.

The ST3146855FC, with a capacity of 146 GB, offers a balance between speed and storage for enterprises that do not require the larger capacities provided by the other two models. It also operates at 15,000 RPM, benefiting from similar technological advancements as the ST3300655FC and ST373455FC. This drive maintains compatibility with existing systems, making it a versatile option for organizations looking to upgrade their storage solutions without overhauling their infrastructure.

All three models exhibit Seagate's commitment to durability and low power consumption, which is critical for reducing operational costs in data centers. They also feature advanced error recovery and data integrity technologies, ensuring that critical data remains intact and accessible. Enhanced thermal and vibration tolerance further extends the lifespan of these drives in challenging environments.

In summary, the Seagate ST3300655FC, ST373455FC, and ST3146855FC are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise environments. Their high spindle speeds, SAS connectivity, and robust designs make them exemplary choices for businesses seeking reliable and efficient storage solutions. Their distinctive features and technologies ensure that they deliver outstanding performance, data integrity, and durability, making them invaluable assets in any data-driven organization.
