Seagate SkyHawk AI 14TB

The Seagate SkyHawk AI 14TB hard disk belongs among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 monitoring systems, e.g. security cameras. 3.5" HDDs are designed mainly for desktop PCs, data centres, and other data-processing devices. One of the most important characteristics is obviously the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM ensures faster data transmission. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 14000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. All the data communication between the Seagate hard disk and the PC or other devices is facilitated via the SATA III interface.

Other HDD Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters, complete with disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but this design delivers an excellent price/storage capacity ratio. The important parameter that determines the speed of a HDD is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate SkyHawk AI 14TB, you get 7200 RPM RPM. This is ideal for demanding users, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. System responsivity and stability is also determined by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate hard drive includes a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.
