About this product
The SEAGATE ST118273LC is an 18GB internal desktop hard drive designed for systems utilizing the Ultra2 Wide SCSI interface. Operating at a rotation speed of 7,200 RPM, this drive from Seagate offers a foundational storage solution. Its specific interface makes it suitable for older server or workstation environments that require SCSI connectivity. As an internal drive, it's intended for integration within a compatible desktop chassis.
Our take
If you're maintaining legacy hardware that specifically requires an Ultra2 Wide SCSI drive, this Seagate ST118273LC could be a necessary component. The 7,200 RPM spin speed is decent for its era, offering reasonable performance for an 18GB capacity drive. However, the 18GB capacity is quite limited by modern standards, making it impractical for contemporary use cases. It's really only for very specific, older system requirements. The SCSI interface also means it won't be compatible with most modern motherboards, so ensure your system has the correct controller.
