Seagate Cheetah 73.4GB Ultra160 SCSI drive

The Seagate Cheetah ST173404LC is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 73.4GB capacity and a 10000RPM spindle speed. It uses an Ultra160 SCSI interface with an 80-pin connector and includes a 4MB buffer. The unit is supplied as a bare drive only in new condition.

Suits legacy SCSI servers and workstations

This drive fits systems built for Ultra160 SCSI storage with 80-pin backplanes. It is not suitable for computers that lack a compatible SCSI host adapter or the correct 80-pin connection. Builders needing larger capacities or modern interfaces should consider other storage types.

Ultra160 SCSI 80-pin interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the Ultra160 SCSI interface with its 80-pin connector. Your system must provide this exact interface and physical connection for the drive to function. Verify the host adapter and backplane match before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ST173404LC is working correctly after installation?

The drive should spin up to 10000RPM and be detected by the SCSI BIOS at the configured SCSI ID. Run the Seagate SeaTools diagnostic to confirm the 73.4GB capacity and check for media errors.

What is included with the ST173404LC and what must I source separately?

The bare 3.5in Ultra160 SCSI drive with 80-pin connector and 4MB buffer is supplied. You must provide an Ultra160 SCSI host adapter, 80-pin backplane or cable, mounting hardware and a compatible power connector.

Which capacity version of the Cheetah 10K Ultra160 line should I choose?

This model provides 73.4GB. Select it when you need that specific capacity point; other capacities in the same family carry different model numbers and are separate products.
