The Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB Base FastFormat SAS hard drive belongs among the high load internal HDDs compatible with NAS data storage solutions. 3.5" HDDs are designed mainly for desktop PCs and data centres. One of the most important parameters is obviously the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM delivers better speeds when working with multimedia and data. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 6000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. You can connect the Seagate hard drive and the PC or other devices takes place through the SAS interface.
The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that uses moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that facilitate reading and writing of data. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but this weak point is well-compensated by a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key parameter that determines the speed of a hard drive is the number of rotations per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB Base FastFormat SAS, you get 7200 RPM RPM. This should delight the more 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 overall stability is also significantly affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Seagate HDD features a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their prompt retrieval and reading.
If you want to mount the Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB Base FastFormat SAS in your PC or other device, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. The communication between the HDD and PC happens through the SAS interface, boasting a standard speed of 12.0 Gbit/s. This solution is not particularly widespread, however.
