Seagate Desktop ST3000DM001 internal hard drive 3TB (8.9 cm (3.5 inch), 7200rpm, 64MB cache, SATA III)

Product Information

With the circuit board removed we find no vibration dampening layer of foam that was present in earlier models, although we do find a thermal pad attached to the drive controller. This helps draw heat away from the chip and into the body of the hard drive, acting as one large heatsink.

The Barracuda line carries a warranty of five years, the longest available in this segment of hard drives. It's hard to measure how much financial impact the disaster had on IBM, since it happened synonymously with the first dot-com crash, but the endless stream of uncertainty and overall negative PR did the company no favors. In the end, IBM sold its HDD line to Hitachi.One of the more telling aspects of any newer hard drive is looking at its performance at the inner and outer edges of the platters. As drive density increases or rotational speeds get faster, users can generally expect data transfer speeds to increase as well. In the case of the new 3TB Barracuda , we found peak transfer speeds measuring just under 200MB/s compared to under 150MB/s of the previous generation model.

FWIW, this does not seem to be a simple case of a few proverbial “bad eggs” in the batch; unexpected failures of ST3000DM001 model drives seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Changing to even smaller transfer sizes with our 4K random read and write test, we found some of the lead the new 3TB slipping to the older 2TB Western Digital drives, although still an improvement over the older generation Barracuda. ST3000DM001 Seagate 3.5″ hard drive with a storage capacity of 3TB and featuring a SATA interface. ST3000DM001 Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Hard Drive. Yesterday Seagate announced its transition to 1TB platters with its new 7200RPM-only Barracuda line. The move marked a significant change for Seagate as it is phasing out the Barracuda Green brand, and shifting the focus of the high-performance Barracuda XT. The Barracuda Green was a rebrand of Seagate's Barracuda LP, designed to convey the lower power consumption enabled by its 5900RPM spindle speed.

The board contains a 64MB Winbond W9751G6JB-25, an LSI/Seagate controller and a Texas Instruments SH6968B motor driver.

Eerdere firmwareversies voor deze modellen en onderdeelnummers zijn CC46, CC47, CC49, CC4C of CC4G. Seagate decided that the performance loss of moving to 5900RPM wasn't justified by the power savings. It believed that by introducing a more power efficient 7200RPM drive it could deliver the best of both worlds, negating the purpose of the Green line. For most desktops, Seagate has a point. The couple of watts you save by slowing down the motor aren't really realized in a system that idles at 60W and can consume over 100W under load. On the other hand, the performance drop is definitely noticeable. Hard drives have pretty bad random access performance to begin with, and slowing spindle speed isn't going to help:If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Firmware for legacy products will be the final release from manufacturing. Please note that Seagate does not offer details about specific firmware. Overall, the new 3TB Barracuda moves in the right direction and certainly whets our appetite for upcoming higher capacity hard drives based on 1TB platters. It offers faster speeds than the prior version through most of our benchmarks and is many ways is the fastest 7200RPM 3TB 3.5″ hard drive on the market. Couple that with the improved power profile and Seagate has a great option for those craving capacity and performance from a hard drive.

In our 4K HTPC trace the 3TB Seagate Barracuda performed extremely well, averaging 83MB/s over the course of the test compared to just 74MB/s from the previous generation model. There is a segment that Seagate isn't considering as it decides to axe the Green line: the home server market. If you're doing mass archival to some external storage, random performance is likely not a big concern. Instead, all you want is cheap, low-power storage. Buyers looking for lower power consumption will really enjoy the lower platter count of the latest 3TB Barracuda. By offering a 1TB x 3 platter configuration instead of 600GB x 5 of the model it replaces, there is less mass to spin around which translates into lower operating needs. Seagate lists an 8 watt operating and 5.4 watt idle requirement that is lower than the original and very close to what we measured in our lab. Power consumption is obviously lower than the old Barracuda XT, but still not quite as low as a 5400RPM Barracuda Green or WD Caviar Green. If you were expecting the new Barracuda to completely replace the outgoing Barracuda Green you will be disappointed. It looks like if you need a high capacity, low power 3.5" drive going forward it won't be from Seagate.a b Carey, Gabe (1 February 2016).
