The Seagate ST3000VN006 is a high-performance internal hard drive designed for mass storage with a total capacity of 3 TB, ideal for systems requiring large data volumes such as NAS servers or workstations with up to 8 bays. Its SATA 6 Gb/s interface ensures a fast and stable connection with sustained transfers up to 202 MB/s, while its CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology offers reliability and efficiency in file management. This model uses an air-based drive design and a motor spinning at 5400 rpm, balancing quiet operation with moderate power consumption of 5.3 W during use and only 3.2 W at idle, contributing to low thermal and environmental impact. It features a large 256 MB cache to improve access speed to frequent data and advanced rotational vibration tolerance, enhancing stability in multi-drive environments. Regarding durability, it supports up to 600,000 load/unload cycles and has a very low maximum unrecoverable read error rate of 1 per 10E14, with an expected lifespan of up to 1,000,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). Its compact physical design measures 20.2 x 101.85 x 146.99 mm and weighs approximately 490 grams, with a black exterior finish that facilitates integration into professional systems. Additionally, its environmental specifications ensure an operating temperature range from 0 to 65 °C, with high shock tolerance both in operation (up to 80 Gs) and at rest (up to 300 Gs), making it a robust device for continuous use under demanding conditions. Its low noise level, with 23 dBA at idle and 25 dBA during activity, is another feature that supports quiet work environments. In summary, the Seagate ST3000VN006 is a reliable and efficient 3 TB SATA HDD, designed for those who need secure and stable storage, with an optimal balance between capacity, performance, and power consumption.
