Template:Infobox F3 family/doc

This template is designed to be used on Seagate F3 family pages or categories. Unlike the public facing Seagate families (Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, Seagate SkyHawk and similar), an F3 family defines more technical details (such as max platters and capacity per platter) and can be shared across the aforementioned public families (e.g. V11 has models in the BarraCuda, SkyHawk and IronWolf families). Unlike Marvell families, however, F3 families can apply across different HDA types.
