The Seagate SkyHawk AI 16TB hard disk belongs among the high load internal HDDs for monitoring systems with non-stop operation. The 3.5" format is made chiefly for desktop computers and data centres. One of the main characteristics is clearly the rotational speed. The 7200 RPM RPM provides faster data transmission. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 16000 GB. The storage features a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Seagate hard drive and the PC or other devices is facilitated using the SATA III interface.
Standard HDDs are notable for their construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but at the same time you get a great combo of a low price and great storage capacity. The key parameter that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate SkyHawk AI 16TB, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. It's a great model for more demanding users, such as graphic or video editors - in short, people who work with large amounts of data. File access speed and stability is also significantly affected the embedded buffer memory known as cache. The Seagate platter drive features a 256 MB cache that stores the last data inputs for their speedy reading.
If you want to install the Seagate SkyHawk AI 16TB in the device of your choice, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. All data transfer takes place via the SATA III interface with a speed of 3 Gbit/s. The technology is one of the best HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
