5 TB Enterprise NAS Drive

The Seagate Enterprise NAS ST5000VN0001 is a 5 TB, 7200 RPM, 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 128 MB cache and SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It is built for 1- to 16-bay enclosures and carries a 1.2 million hour MTBF rating with a 300 TB-per-year workload limit. This drive targets NAS operators and small-business servers that need sustained multi-user access.

Upgrade from lower-capacity or desktop-class drives

The jump is worth it when a NAS approaches its bay limit or when annual written data exceeds the rating of consumer drives. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and RV sensor keep performance steady under vibration from adjacent drives. Buyers who need more than 16 bays or a higher yearly workload rating will need a different class of drive.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limits

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps sequential throughput well below the drive's internal media speed, so large transfers are bottlenecked by the bus. Average latency is 4.16 ms, which is typical for 7200 RPM mechanics. The interface does not support command queuing optimisations found on newer protocols, so heavy random I/O queues can saturate the link.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the 3.5" drive so I can confirm it fits my NAS bay?

The drive measures 147.00mm long, 101.85mm wide and 26.10mm high, matching the standard 3.5" form factor for 1- to 16-bay enclosures.

Does the bare drive include mounting screws or rails for installation?

The bare drive ships without screws or rails; you must use the hardware supplied with your NAS or server chassis to secure it.

When should I consider replacing the drive based on its workload rating?

The drive is rated for 300TB per year; plan replacement once cumulative writes approach that annual limit to maintain the 1.2 million hour MTBF target.
