Seagate ST3500312CS Pipeline HD Product Overview - Page 2

Pipeline HD™ The industry's leading combination of video streaming and low-power performance Seagate® Pipeline HD hard drives provide manufacturers and system designers with the leading combination of video streaming and low-power performance. Ideal for consumer DVRs, media centers and even commercial video surveillance recording applications, Pipeline HD drives offer comprehensive value encompassing both practical performance considerations as well as having an eco-friendly footprint. Think Green Strategies Pipeline HD drives carry Seagate Think Green certification which provides consumers and system designers assurance they have selected a storage solution with leading environmental stewardship performance. With the lowest overall power consumption performance of any drive in its class, Pipeline HD drives save energy and help enable systems to achieve today's tough power consumption initiatives like ENERGY STAR. In addition, Pipeline HD drives lead in overall compliance to important environmental issues, including: • RoHS compliance • PVC-free compliance • Low-halogen compliance • Pipeline HD drives are 75 percent recyclable, and 50 percent of the materials for production come from recycled sources. And Beyond Green In addition to being kind to the environment, Pipeline HD drives provide system designers with uncompromising performance for today's video streaming applications. Pipeline HD drives spin at a unique speed of 5900 RPM. This was carefully tuned by Seagate engineers to balance performance in video delivery, achieve nearsilent operation and deliver leading low-power performance. Pipeline HD drives can support at least 10 simultaneous high-definition (20 Mbps) video streams, enough to support emerging applications such as multi-room DVR. Translated to video surveillance applications, Pipeline HD drives can easily support 16 channels of highquality video common in embedded video surveillance DVRs. Combine this performance with bedroom-quiet acoustics, an always on, 24x7 workload profile, and a leading predicted failure rate of only 0.55 percent AFR, and it's easy to see why Pipeline HD drives have become the choice of so many A/V system designers and manufacturers.
