50.1GB Ultra2 SCSI 7200RPM 8.2ms Seek Factory Sealed

Why the ST150176LC is the right Legacy HDD

The ST150176LC represents Seagate's proven Barracuda series engineering from the Ultra2 SCSI era. With 7200RPM performance and 8.2ms average seek times, it delivered enterprise-class reliability for late 1990s server deployments. The SCA-2 compliant hot-pluggable design made it ideal for mission-critical systems requiring continuous operation. This model bridges the gap between older narrow SCSI drives and later Ultra320 SCSI implementations.

Ultra2 Wide SCSI Performance

80MBps transfer rates with Ultra2 Wide SCSI interface deliver optimal performance for legacy enterprise applications requiring high-speed data access.

SCA-2 Hot-Pluggable Design

80-pin SCA-2 connector enables hot-swappable operation in compatible server backplanes without system downtime for maintenance operations.

Enterprise Barracuda Reliability

1,000,000 hour MTBF rating and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring ensure dependable operation in mission-critical legacy server environments.

Optimal Legacy System Restoration

Perfect replacement for vintage workstations and servers requiring exact capacity and interface compatibility with original SCSI storage configurations.

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.
