The Seagate Cheetah 36ES Series 18.4GB Ultra160 SCSI hard drive features a 10,000rpm spindle speed, 5.2ms access time, a 4MB cache buffer, and a five year manufacturer's warranty. The Cheetah 36ES benefits from significant performance enhancements with Seagate's Advanced Multidrive System (SAMS) that optimizes performance in server and RAID applications, and G-Force Protection, a drive enhancement that protects the drive's data from external shock.

The Ultra 160 SCSI hard drives are capable of external I/O data transfer rates up to 160MB/second, they have a 68-pin connector, and they work on Wide, Ultra Wide, Ultra2, or Ultra 160 controllers at the controller's maximum speed. To achieve 160MB/sec burst transfer rate, an Ultra160 SCSI controller card is required.

The Cheetah 36ES comes assembled in our high quality external enclosure and is tested at our facility. The enclosure features two standard Ultra 160 SCSI 68-pin external connectors, a 40 Watt power supply, a cooling fan, a 16 position SCSI ID switch, and an Ultra 160 active terminator. Case dimensions are 2.7" x 8.25" x 11". For this external hard drive, you will need an external SCSI cable.
