Enterprise Storage Drive

The Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST31000340NS is a 1TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for 24x7 operation in business-critical environments. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 32MB cache and connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. Perpendicular recording technology increases data density while reducing moving parts for enhanced reliability.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify that your system has a free 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data port running at 3.0Gb/s. The bare-drive package includes no cables, brackets or mounting screws, so confirm you have spares or can source them separately. Ensure your BIOS or operating system supports drives of this capacity without additional software.

Upgrade Path

This model delivers 33 percent more capacity than the earlier Barracuda ES drive while maintaining the same enterprise-grade reliability. OptiCache technology improves performance by up to 45 percent, and SmartAlign eases the transition to Advanced Format 4K sectors. The jump is worth it for arrays needing higher density and sustained throughput in multi-drive deployments.
