Purpose-built enterprise storage

The Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 ST3300007FC is a 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with an 8MB cache. It connects through a 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel interface and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is designed for full duty cycle enterprise storage workloads where consistent throughput and reliability are primary requirements.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive fits administrators maintaining or expanding legacy Fibre Channel arrays that specifically require a 2 Gbit/sec 3.5-inch form factor. It is not for systems that lack a native Fibre Channel host bus adapter or backplane, nor for workloads needing larger capacities or interfaces other than the stated Fibre Channel link.

The specification that decides fit

The 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel interface is the single determinant; the drive will only operate in enclosures or controllers that provide this exact connection. Without a compatible Fibre Channel infrastructure the drive cannot be used, regardless of its 10000 RPM speed or 300GB capacity.
