Purpose-built video storage

The Seagate ST1000VM002 Pipeline is a 1 TB internal hard drive designed for 24×7 consumer DVR and media-server workloads. It spins at 5900 rpm with a 64 MB buffer and connects over a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive is qualified for continuous operation at temperatures up to 75°C.

Best for always-on recording, not primary OS

This drive suits builders of home-theater PCs, media centres or set-top boxes that need quiet, low-power delivery of up to 16 simultaneous HD streams. It is not intended for boot-drive duty, heavy random-access databases or workloads that demand higher spindle speeds.

Fits standard 3.5" bays with SATA power and data

The 3.5" form factor measures 147 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide and 26.1 mm high, so it slides into any desktop bay that accepts a 1" drive. A SATA data cable and a standard SATA power connector are all that is required, leaving other expansion slots free for additional storage or add-in cards.

Questions about this item

What SATA port speed does my motherboard need to run the ST1000VM002 at its full 6.0 Gb/s interface?

The drive uses the SATA 6.0 Gb/s standard. Any motherboard with a SATA III port will run it at full speed; SATA II ports will work but limit throughput to 3.0 Gb/s.

Can I keep my older SATA 3.0 Gb/s drive in the same system while adding this 5900 rpm Pipeline drive?

Yes. The ST1000VM002 is backward compatible with SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports, so it will operate alongside older drives on the same controller without configuration changes.

How can I confirm the drive is delivering the 16 simultaneous HD streams it is rated for after installation?

Monitor the DVR or media server software for smooth playback across all 16 streams and check that the drive temperature stays within the 75 °C operating limit during continuous 24×7 recording.
