About this product
This is a Seagate Cheetah ST118202LC hard drive, offering 18.2GB of storage capacity. It's a 3.5-inch form factor HDD with a 10,000 RPM rotation speed, designed for server applications. The drive uses an Ultra2 SCSI interface and comes with a tray, making it ready for installation in compatible systems. Despite being branded as Dell, the manufacturer is Seagate, known for its Cheetah product line, implying enterprise-grade performance.
Our take
For anyone working with older Dell servers or other systems that still rely on Ultra2 SCSI, this Seagate Cheetah drive could be a very useful find. The 10,000 RPM speed means it's capable of faster data access compared to typical desktop drives of its era, making it suitable for server roles where speed was prioritized. The included tray is a practical bonus, simplifying installation. However, the 18.2GB capacity is quite modest, even for legacy systems, and the Ultra2 SCSI interface is definitely a dated technology, limiting its compatibility to specific, older hardware environments.
