The Seagate SkyHawk 8TB hard disk ranks among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 monitoring systems, e.g. security cameras. 3.5" HDDs are made chiefly for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the crucial parameters is clearly the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM ensures improved system performance and faster data transfer. The hard disk provides a storage capacity of 8000 GB. The storage uses a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Seagate hard disk and a computer or other device takes place through the SATA III interface.
Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters accompanied by disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but at the same time you get an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate SkyHawk 8TB, you would get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. File access speed and overall stability is also influenced by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate platter drive features a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their speedy reading.
If you want to install the Seagate SkyHawk 8TB in your PC or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. All data transfer takes place through the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology is one of the most popular HDD data transfer options available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
