146.8GB Ultra320 SCSI 10K RPM Hot-Swap SCA-2 Factory Sealed

Why the ST3146707LC is the right Enterprise SCSI Drive

The Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 ST3146707LC represents the pinnacle of enterprise SCSI technology from the mid-2000s era. This seventh-generation 10,000 RPM drive delivers exceptional performance with its Ultra320 SCSI interface and advanced fluid dynamic bearing design. The 80-pin SCA-2 connector enables hot-swap capability in enterprise backplanes, while Background Media Scan and enhanced error correction ensure maximum data integrity for mission-critical applications.

Hot-Swap SCA-2 Connector Design

The 80-pin SCA-2 interface combines power and data into a single blind-mate connector, enabling hot-swap replacement in enterprise SCSI arrays without system downtime.

Advanced Background Media Scan

Continuously monitors disk surfaces during idle periods to detect and preemptively reallocate marginal sectors before they cause read errors, maximizing data reliability.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing Motors

FDB technology replaces traditional ball bearings with an oil film, reducing acoustic noise, vibration transmission, and mechanical wear for extended operational life.

Ultra320 SCSI Performance

Delivers 320 MB/s maximum interface throughput with internal transfer rates of 59-118 MB/s, optimized for enterprise transactional and database workloads.

New Old Stock with 90-Day Warranty

Available as brand new, factory sealed old stock units from Anand International with a 90-day warranty. Ideal for legacy system maintenance, vintage computing restoration, and hard-to-find replacement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions for SCSI, including information on usage, configuration, and compatibility.

1. What is a SCSI hard drive?

A SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) hard drive is a legacy enterprise storage device that connects using parallel ribbon cables. SCSI was widely used in servers, workstations, and storage arrays before newer technologies like SAS and SATA became standard.
2. What systems are SCSI hard drives compatible with?

SCSI drives are designed for older servers, RAID controllers, and storage arrays that have SCSI interfaces. They are commonly used today to maintain or repair legacy IT infrastructure.
3. What’s the difference between SCSI and SAS?

SCSI uses parallel communication and bulky ribbon cables, with speeds up to 320 MB/s. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is the modern successor, offering serial communication, smaller connectors, dual-port redundancy, and speeds up to 24 Gb/s.
4. Can SCSI hard drives still be used in modern systems?

Most modern computers don’t have SCSI ports. To use a SCSI drive, you’ll need a compatible SCSI controller card or an external enclosure designed for parallel SCSI.
5. What capacities are available for SCSI hard drives?

SCSI hard drives were typically available in capacities ranging from a few gigabytes to several hundred gigabytes. Larger capacities are rare compared to modern SATA and SAS drives.
6. Are SCSI hard drives hot-swappable?

Yes, many SCSI drives used in enterprise servers were hot-swappable when paired with a compatible RAID backplane or enclosure. This allowed replacement without shutting down the system.
7. Why are SCSI hard drives still used today?

SCSI hard drives remain important for maintaining legacy servers, specialized equipment, and industrial systems where upgrading to newer storage technologies isn’t possible or practical.
