Enterprise Fibre Channel drive
The Seagate ST373307FC is a 73GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with an 8MB cache. It connects through a Fibre Channel interface and is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging that may vary. The unit is designed for enterprise storage environments.
Who this suits and who it does not
This drive fits administrators who need a Fibre Channel device for existing enterprise arrays or replacement workflows. It is not for builders who require a different interface, nor for users who need larger capacities than 73GB. Desktop PC builders without a Fibre Channel host adapter should look elsewhere.
The deciding specification
The Fibre Channel interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. Your storage controller or backplane must support this protocol for the drive to function. Without a matching Fibre Channel connection the drive cannot be used.
