Seagate Technology ST15230W hard drive specifications
Seagate Hawk 4 - hard drive - 4.29 GB - Fast SCSI
The Hawk 4 Family drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the landing zone when the power is removed. The Hawk 4 Family drives incorporate an automatic shipping lock which prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that result from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages when power is applied to the drive and the head load process begins. The Hawk 4 Family drives decode Track 0 location from the dedicated servo surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns. The Hawk 4 Family drives use a high performance actuator assembly that consists of a low inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimum power dissipation.
