Seagate 9B2001-030 4.2GB Ultra-160 SCSI 5400 3.5-inch 512KB Hard Drive

Product Description

The Seagate 9B2001-030 hard drive represents a robust storage solution from an era where SCSI interfaces were paramount for high-performance computing environments. With a capacity of 4.2GB, it was suitable for operating systems, applications, and data storage in servers and workstations that prioritized data integrity and speed over sheer volume. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface offers significant advantages in terms of command queuing, error handling, and bus bandwidth compared to parallel ATA interfaces of the time. Operating at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM, this drive strikes a balance between performance and acoustics, making it a practical choice for environments where noise might be a consideration. The 3.5-inch form factor ensures compatibility with standard drive bays found in most server chassis and desktop computer cases. Its 512KB cache memory, while modest by today's standards, was effective in buffering data and improving access times for frequently requested information. This particular model, the 9B2001-030, is a testament to Seagate's legacy in providing reliable storage for demanding applications. It is an excellent option for maintaining or upgrading legacy systems that rely on SCSI connectivity, ensuring continued operation and data accessibility for critical legacy data. Its robust construction and proven SCSI technology make it a dependable component for specialized computing needs.
