The Seagate Cheetah X15-36LP series 18.4GB Ultra 160 SCSI hard drive with its 15,000rpm spindle speed delivers the fastest seek times in the world, 3.6ms! The drive is installed in our high quality external enclosure and features a 8MB cache buffer, an average latency of 2ms, and a maximum data transfer rate of 160MB/second.

The Cheetah X15-36LP benefits from significant performance enhancements with Seagate's Advanced Multidrive System (SAMS) that optimizes the drive for maximum I/O performance in server and RAID applications. The Cheetah X15-36LP features the most comprehensive drive protection system in the industry, Seagate’s 3D Defense System consisting of Drive Defense, Data Defense, and Diagnostic Defense. Just-In-Time (JIT) minimizes actuator impact on power, vibration, and acoustics, resulting in lower operating temperatures, improved reliability/life, and quieter drives.

The Ultra 160 SCSI hard drives are capable of 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 external enclosure has two standard Ultra 160 SCSI 68-pin 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.
