Product Details
Reaches a transfer rate of 100MB/s in a 20-drive array . Perfect for video, graphics, and other high-performance storage applications . Boasts extremely fast spindle speed and seek times .
This 18.2GB Cheetah 18LP is a SCSI drive with a Fibre Channel - Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) dual loop interface, making this Seagate hard drive ideal for high-performance storage, video, graphic, and mass data transfer applications. FC-AL supports up to 126 nodes on the loop and a maximum data transfer rate of 100MB per second, but you need to have at least 20 of these Seagate drives installed in a RAID disk array to achieve this transfer rate. Seagate's Fibre Channel drives are not designed for use in PCs, workstations, or standard disk arrays.
If you are looking for truly superior performance, the Cheetah will not disappoint you - just look at the specs: an impressive 5.2ms seek time, an industry-leading 10,000RPM spindle speed, internal transfer rates from 193 to 308Mbits per second, and a large 1024K cache - backed by Seagate's stated million hour MTBF and five-year warranty. With stated reliability and performance like that, how can you possibly go wrong?
The Cheetah 18LP has received Seagate's ''AV Professional'' stamp of approval which means that Seagate has fine tuned this drive to meet the requirements of today's most demanding audio/visual applications. It features embedded-servo technology to eliminate the need to perform periodic recalibration which slows down data transfer, making this drive ideal for AV applications. Embedded-servo technology gets rid of data interruptions that cause dropped frames in video applications.
The drive's Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) technology keeps data clear from background interference and allows Seagate disk drives to increase areal density (disk capacity), boost transfer speed, improve yield through the drive's ability to self-calibrate and lower disk noise. The drive also uses Advanced SCSI Architecture II (ASA II) to increase performance and provide easy cross-platform migration.
The 3.5-inch, low profile Cheetah 18LP drive also supports Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) to help prevent data loss and provide advance warning of drive failures. It is compatible with most popular operating systems including, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Novell Netware, and carries a five-year warranty.
