4.5Formatted capacities

Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is selectable at format time and must be a multiple of 4 bytes. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.

To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes:

1.Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current guaranteed operating points for this product are:

4.6Programmable drive capacity

Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select (6) parameter list table in the SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. A value of zero in the Number of Blocks field indicates that the drive will not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number other than zero and less than the maximum number of LBAs in the Number of Blocks field changes the total drive capacity to the value in the Number of Blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.

4.7Factory-installed options

You may order the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options):

•Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested.

•Single-unit shipping pack. The drive is normally shipped in bulk packaging to provide maximum protection against transit damage. Units shipped individually require additional protection as provided by the single unit shipping pack. Users planning single unit distribution should specify this option.

•The Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512, is usually included with each standard OEM drive shipped, but extra copies may be ordered.

ST33000652SS, ST33000650SS, ST33000651SS specifications

The Seagate ST33000651SS, ST33000650SS, and ST33000652SS are high-performance enterprise hard drives designed for demanding storage applications. These models are part of the Seagate Constellation ES series, known for their reliability and performance in server and data center environments.

One of the most notable features of these drives is their capacity. The ST33000651SS and ST33000650SS offer a storage capacity of 3TB, providing ample space for data-intensive applications. The ST33000652SS enhances this with a larger storage option, ensuring that organizations can meet growing data demands without needing frequent upgrades.

These drives utilize a SATA 6Gb/s interface, which allows for high-speed data transfer. This increased bandwidth is essential for applications that rely on rapid access, such as virtualization, cloud computing, and database management systems. Additionally, the drives support Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which enhances performance by optimizing the order in which read and write commands are executed.

Reliability is paramount in enterprise environments, and Seagate addresses this with several technologies designed to minimize downtime. The ST33000651SS and its counterparts feature a 7200 RPM spindle speed, which not only delivers fast access times but also contributes to the overall durability of the drives. They also come with advanced error correction and data integrity features, which safeguard against data loss.

Another important characteristic of these drives is their low power consumption. Operating at an average power usage of 6.0W, they help reduce operational costs, particularly in large-scale deployments. This energy efficiency is essential for organizations looking to maintain sustainability while maximizing performance.

In terms of physical design, these hard drives are built to endure tough conditions typically found in data centers. They come in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of servers and storage enclosures. The robust design further enhances their lifespan, making them a sound investment for enterprise storage solutions.

In summary, the Seagate ST33000651SS, ST33000650SS, and ST33000652SS hard drives offer a compelling combination of high capacity, fast data transfer rates, and reliability. Their advanced technologies and energy-efficient design make them ideal choices for enterprises that require dependable and high-performing storage solutions in their IT infrastructure.
