About this product
The Seagate 18GB ST318438LW is a 3.5-inch U160 SCSI hard drive with an 18 GB storage capacity. It operates at 7200 RPM and utilizes a 68-pin LVD SCSI interface, specifically Ultra-160 SCSI. This drive is designed for server or workstation environments that require the older, robust SCSI technology, providing reliable, albeit low-capacity, storage for compatible systems.
Our take
This Seagate 18GB SCSI drive is a specialized piece of hardware, clearly intended for vintage server or workstation setups. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface with its 68-pin connector means it's not going into a modern PC. However, for those maintaining or restoring older SCSI-based systems, this 7200 RPM drive offers a functional solution. 18GB is a very small capacity by today's standards, but for specific legacy applications or operating systems, it might be exactly what's needed. Ensure your system has the correct 68-pin SCSI controller before considering this drive.
