The ST1000DM003-1CH162 is a hard drive from Seagate that belongs to the Barracuda series. This series is known for its reliability, high performance and versatility. It is a 3.5-inch HDD (Hard Disk Drive) with a storage capacity of 1 TB and offers fast data transfer through its SATA III interface. Here is a detailed description of the technical details, functions and areas of application of this hard drive:
Technical details:
- Model number: ST1000DM003-1CH162
- Storage capacity:
- 1 terabyte (TB). This provides enough storage space for a variety of data such as documents, pictures, videos, games and software. For home use and office applications, 1 TB is a common and sufficient size.
- Form factor:
- 3.5-inch. This size is typical for desktop hard drives and offers higher capacity compared to the smaller 2.5-inch form factors used in laptops.
- Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gb/s). The SATA 6 Gb/s interface provides a fast data transfer rate that is ideal for modern computers. This interface is backwards compatible with older SATA standards (SATA II and I), so the hard drive can also be used in older systems.
- Speed:
- 7,200 RPM (revolutions per minute). A higher rotation speed usually means faster data access compared to lower speed hard drives (e.g. 5,400 RPM). This is useful for applications that require fast read and write access.
- Cache memory:
- 64 MB Cache. The large cache memory helps increase hard drive performance by caching frequently accessed data, reducing access times and improving hard drive responsiveness.
- Maximum data transfer rate:
- Theoretically up to 210 MB/s read speed. However, this depends on the specific use cases and system configurations.
- Access time:
- The average access time for this hard drive is typically about 8.5 ms. This refers to the time it takes to access the data on the hard drive.
- Dimensions:
- Width: 101.6 mm
- Depth: 146.99 mm
- Height: 20.17mm
- Weight: Approximately 400 grams
- Energy consumption:
- Active operation: Approximately 5.9 watts
- Sleep mode: Approximately 0.75 watts
- The low power consumption makes this hard drive efficient, which is especially beneficial in desktop PCs or NAS systems.
- Operating temperature:
- 0°C to 60°C. The hard drive is designed for use in a wide temperature range, making it robust and reliable for different environments.
- Shock resistance:
- The hard drive can withstand 80G in operation and 350G in off mode, making it resistant to minor physical impact.
Features:
- SATA III interface:
- The SATA III interface with a bandwidth of 6 Gb/s ensures fast data transfer. In combination with the 7,200 rpm speed and the 64 MB cache, the hard drive is ideal for data-intensive applications.
- Advanced Power Management (APM):
- This technology allows the hard drive to optimize its energy consumption by automatically switching to a power-saving mode when not actively in use. This contributes to the energy efficiency of the entire system.
- Acoustic Management:
- The hard drive is designed to operate quietly, making it ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments such as offices or homes.
- Error Recovery Control:
- This feature improves data security and integrity by optimizing the time to recover from read errors, thereby improving system performance.
- NAS Compatibility:
- While this hard drive is designed for use in desktop computers, it can also be used in smaller NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems where higher storage capacity and performance are needed.
Areas of application:
- Desktop PCs:
- The ST1000DM003 is ideal for use in desktop computers. It offers sufficient storage space for large amounts of data such as images, music, videos, software and games. Thanks to its high performance thanks to the 7,200 rpm and the 64 MB cache, it is also suitable for resource-intensive applications and games.
- Workstations:
- In workstations, this hard drive offers a reliable and fast storage option for applications that require high storage capacities and fast data access. This can be particularly beneficial in areas such as graphic design, video editing and software development.
- Gaming PCs:
- With 1TB storage and fast data transfer speed, this hard drive can store large game libraries and game data. It is a great choice for gaming PCs that handle large files and need quick access to game data.
- Home server and NAS:
- Although not primarily designed for NAS systems, the hard drive can also be used in small NAS systems. It offers sufficient storage space for exchanging data in the home network, backup solutions or as a central data storage for media and files.
- Multimedia storage:
- With its capacity and speed, the ST1000DM003 is well suited to serve as a media library for movies, music and photos. It can be used in PCs or external hard drive enclosures to store and quickly retrieve large media files.
- Backup and data storage:
- With its high storage capacity of 1 TB, the hard drive is ideal for regular backups of documents, system data and important files. It also offers sufficient space and reliable performance as archive storage for long-term data backup.
Conclusion:
The Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 is a powerful and versatile 1 TB hard drive with 7,200 RPM, 64 MB cache and SATA III interface. It offers fast data transfer speeds and is well suited for desktop PCs, workstations, gaming PCs and even NAS systems. It is energy efficient and operates quietly, making it an excellent choice for home and office use. With its high capacity and fast access times, it is ideal for users who need a reliable and high-performance storage solution.
