About this product
The Seagate ST34501WC is an enterprise-grade 3.5-inch internal hard drive, offering 4.5GB of storage capacity. It utilizes both SCSI and Ultra SCSI interfaces via an 80-pin connector and operates at a 7200 RPM rotation speed. Equipped with an 8MB cache, this drive supports a read speed of 100MB/s and a transfer rate of 125 Mbps. It is compatible with PCs and designed for reliable performance in older desktop systems requiring specialized, robust storage.
Our take
This Seagate ST34501WC is a straightforward, enterprise-grade SCSI drive. The 7200 RPM speed combined with an 8MB cache offers a respectable performance for its generation, making it suitable for older workstations or servers that can leverage its Ultra SCSI interface. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for many legacy desktops. However, its 4GB capacity is very limited by today's standards, and the 80-pin SCSI interface means it's not compatible with modern hardware. It's a reliable, albeit niche, option for specific retro computing needs.
