The Seagate 3D Defense System™—
No One Does More to Protect Your Drives
DRIVE DEFENSE
• SeaShell
™
packaging protects drive against 1,000 Gs of
nonoperating shock.
• Enhanced G-Force Protection with ShockPoints protects
the drive from nonoperating shock and prevents
damage to the motor, heads, head-arm, clamp and
discs during shipping, handling and daily operation.
DATA DEFENSE
• ECC (error-correction code) performs on-the-fly
hardware correction for excellent performance.
• Safe Sparing ensures the drive will return to the same
sector after a power outage.
• CBDS (continuous background defect scanning)
proactively identifies and eliminates defects.
DIAGNOSTIC DEFENSE
• SeaTools Suite diagnostic software is designed to
reduce drive returns, decrease drive repair costs
and protect data.
•Web-based tools enable users to identify and solve
common system-related issues.
• Enhanced S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) predicts and prevents problems
transparently before they affect the end user.
• Enhanced Drive Self-Test (NDST) reduces
diagnostic time.
