18 GB 15,000 RPM Ultra-160 SCSI Drive

This new Dell ST318452LC is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with an 18 GB capacity and a 15,000 RPM spindle speed. It uses an Ultra-160 SCSI 80-pin interface and includes an 8 MB cache buffer. The unit is designed for desktop systems that require this specific legacy interface.

Suits Ultra-160 SCSI Servers

This drive fits servers or workstations equipped with an Ultra-160 SCSI controller and an 80-pin backplane. It is not suitable for systems that lack a compatible Ultra-160 SCSI host adapter or 80-pin connection. Builders needing higher capacities for current applications should consider other options.

Ultra-160 SCSI 80-Pin Interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the Ultra-160 SCSI 80-pin interface. The drive will only function when connected to a matching Ultra-160 SCSI controller with an 80-pin connector. Verify your system documentation for this exact interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 80-pin Ultra-160 SCSI drive in a 3.5-inch bay and what step is often missed?

Mount the 3.5-inch drive in the bay, connect the 80-pin SCA connector to the backplane, and set the correct SCSI ID with the jumpers so the controller sees it.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15000RPM 18GB drive need later?

Plan to replace the mechanical drive after several years of continuous operation; keep firmware current and monitor SMART data for reallocated sectors.

What limit appears first on the Ultra-160 SCSI interface during sustained transfers?

The 160 MB/s bus ceiling caps peak throughput before the 15000RPM platters or 8MB cache become the bottleneck.
