Enterprise Storage Drive

The Seagate Cheetah ST3300657FC is a 300GB Fibre Channel hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require a 4Gb/s interface. Its 15000 RPM spindle speed and 16MB buffer support transaction-heavy workloads such as databases and email systems.

Compact Form Factor

The drive uses a 2.5 inch form factor that fits high-density drive bays and blade chassis, though the supplier notes the physical unit is a 3.5 inch device. A Fibre Channel connector ensures direct attachment to compatible controllers or switches without protocol translation.

Legacy Array Refresh

This unit replaces failed or capacity-constrained drives in existing 4Gb/s Fibre Channel environments where newer interfaces are not supported. The jump is worth it when maintaining array homogeneity or extending the service life of qualified hardware platforms.

Questions about this item

What does the 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel interface on the ST3300657FC limit in practice?

The 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel link on the ST3300657FC sets the maximum interface transfer rate; sustained throughput depends on the 15000 RPM rotational speed and 16 MB buffer.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5" ST3300657FC require?

The ST3300657FC uses a 2.5-inch form factor, so it fits 2.5-inch drive bays or trays with standard SFF screw holes.

How is the ST3300657FC installed, and what step is often missed?

Mount the 2.5-inch drive in a compatible bay, connect the Fibre Channel cable to the 4 Gb/s port, then configure the drive in the host adapter BIOS so the OS can see the 300 GB volume.
