3 TB 7 200 RPM SATA drive

The Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST3000NM0033 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 3 TB capacity, 7 200 RPM spindle speed and a 128 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and uses perpendicular recording with on-the-fly error correction. The unit is supplied new with zero operating hours.

Enterprise storage and RAID arrays

This drive suits servers, NAS enclosures and workstations that need high-capacity bulk storage with sustained write performance. Native Command Queueing helps with multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who want solid-state speed, a smaller 2.5-inch form factor or a non-SATA interface should look at something else.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6 Gb/s interface; the system must provide a matching SATA port and power connector. If the host only supports an older SATA revision the drive will still work but at the lower link rate. No other interface or protocol is supported by this model.

Questions about this item

What size drive bay and screw spacing does the 3.5" SATA hard drive require?

The drive fits a standard 3.5-inch internal bay using the industry-standard bottom and side mounting holes spaced for M3 screws.

Which step is most often missed when installing the ST3000NM0033 into a desktop?

Connecting both the SATA data cable to the motherboard port and the SATA power cable from the PSU; the drive will not spin up with only one attached.

What maintenance or replacement should be planned for the 3TB 7200RPM drive over its service life?

Monitor SMART reallocated-sector counts and replace the drive once the attribute approaches threshold, as mechanical wear on the 7200 RPM platters is not user-serviceable.
