INCH FAMILY SLIM LINE
Fast ATA-2 Disc Drive
"Seagate's Decathlon 850 was hands down the fastest drive..." according to
PC/Computing. This 5,400-RPM disc drive can transfer data up to 16.6 Mbytes
per second with average seek times of 11 msec. Available 32-bit driver software
optimizes ATA drive performance on Microsoft Windows-based PCs.
Multimedia-ready with an average sustained data-transfer rate of
3.5 Mbytes per second. Ideal for graphic applications and full-screen,
full-motion MPEG video playback.
Designed for Windows 95 and easy installation. Printing the key settings right
on the mechanism prompted PC/Computing magazine to award
4 stars for usability.
Unique slim-line form-factor fits all standard 3.5-inch drive bays yet requires 35%
less space, reduces noise and can improve system cooling.
This Energy Ally drive has a very low power dissipation, making it possible to add
more peripherals by minimizing the load on the PC's power supply.
Manufactured to ISO 9001 standards, the Decathlon 850 disc drive has a 300,000
power-on-hour MTBF and is backed by a three-year warranty.
