Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB

The Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB hard drive ranks among the high load internal HDDs for monitoring systems. The 3.5" format is made chiefly for data centres and desktop PCs. One of the crucial characteristics is obviously the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM provides improved performance and data speeds. The overall data capacity of the HDD is 10000 GB. The device features a 256 MB memory cache. All the data communication between the Seagate hard drive and the PC or other devices takes place through the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Drive Features

Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but on the upside, this design also delivers a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The crucial parameter that affects the speed of a HDD is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB, you would get 7200 RPM RPM. It's a great model for more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also influenced by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate HDD features a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.

Connecting the Seagate HDD

If you want to mount the Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB in your computer or other device, it must have a 3.5" slot. All communication with the computer is done through the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology is one of the best HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
