73.4GB Ultra160 SCSI 10K RPM Enterprise Factory Sealed

Why the ST373405LC is the right Enterprise SCSI HDD

The Cheetah 73LP represented the pinnacle of Seagate's fifth-generation 10,000 RPM enterprise storage technology. With Ultra160 SCSI interface delivering 160MB/s throughput and sub-3ms rotational latency, it provided the performance foundation for early 2000s enterprise computing. The SCA-2 hot-swap connector and Advanced Multidrive System made it the preferred choice for mission-critical RAID arrays and high-availability server configurations.

Ultra160 SCSI Performance

160MB/s sustained transfer rate with LVD/SE signaling provides optimal throughput for enterprise applications. Advanced seek algorithms deliver 5.1ms average access times for responsive database and server operations.

Hot-Swap SCA-2 Connector

80-pin SCA-2 interface enables hot-pluggable operation in enterprise backplanes. Supports seamless drive replacement without system downtime in RAID configurations.

Enterprise Reliability

1.2 million hour MTBF rating with Advanced Multidrive System and vibration sensing technology. Designed for 24/7 continuous operation in demanding server environments.

10K RPM High Performance

10,000 RPM spindle speed delivers 2.99ms rotational latency for rapid data access. Optimized for high-transaction database applications and multi-user server 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.
