Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB

The Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB hard drive ranks among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 operation in data centres. The 3.5" format is designed chiefly for desktop computers and data centres. One of the key characteristics is obviously the rotational speed of the HDD. The 7200 RPM RPM delivers better speeds when working with multimedia and data. The total capacity of the hard drive is 6000 GB. The drive uses a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Seagate hard disk and other hardware is facilitated via the SATA III interface.

Other Hard Drive Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These moving parts are not particularly resistant against shock or impact, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The important criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB, you can look forward to 7200 RPM RPM. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. System responsivity and overall stability is also determined by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate platter drive includes a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their fast retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Seagate Hard Drive

If you want to install the Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB in your PC or other device, it must have a 3.5" slot. The communication between the HDD and PC is done using the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. This technology ranks among the best HDD data transfer options available and delivers a throughput of 600 MB/s.
