The ST2000DX001-1NS164 is an internal hard drive from Seagate that belongs to the Seagate Desktop SSHD series. This series combines traditional hard drive technology with solid-state drive (SSD) technology to provide improved performance and greater storage capacity. Here are the comprehensive details about this model:
1. Description
The Seagate ST2000DX001-1NS164 is a 2 TB desktop SSHD (solid-state hybrid drive) with a 3.5 inch form factor and a SATA interface. This hybrid hard drive combines the high capacity of an HDD with the faster performance of an SSD cache to increase performance while efficiently storing large amounts of data.
2. Technical details
- Form factor: 3.5 inches
- Dimensions: 101.85mm x 147mm x 26.1mm
- Use: Designed for desktop PCs where a 3.5" bay is available.
- Interface: SATA
- Interface type: SATA III (6 Gb/s)
- Data transfer rates: Up to 600 MB/s (theoretical maximum speed of the SATA III interface).
- Capacity: 2 TB
- Provides sufficient storage for operating systems, applications, documents, photos, videos and large amounts of data.
- Rotation speed: 7200 rpm
- This speed provides better performance compared to 5400 RPM hard drives and contributes to faster data access time.
- Cache memory: 64 MB
- The larger cache memory enables faster data processing and improves the overall performance of the hard drive.
- NAND Flash Memory (SSD Cache): 8 GB
- The 8GB SSD cache uses NAND flash memory to store frequently used data and enable faster access. This improves system performance and reduces program and file loading times.
- Bug fix:
- ECC (Error-Correcting Code): Supports advanced error correction to ensure data integrity.
- Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Typically over 1 million hours, indicating high reliability and long lifetime.
3. Functions
- Hybrid technology: The combination of HDD and SSD technology enables greater storage capacity and improved performance. The SSD cache speeds up access to frequently used data and programs.
- Performance Improvement: Using SSD cache allows frequently accessed data to load faster, improving overall system performance, especially for applications and operating systems.
- Energy Efficiency: Compared to pure SSD solutions, the SSHD offers a better balance between energy consumption and performance. Using the SSD cache can reduce energy consumption because the hard drive works more efficiently.
- Combination of Capacity and Speed: Offers the high capacity of an HDD along with the fast performance of an SSD cache, which is ideal for users who need a combination of large storage space and faster data access time.
- Low noise: The 7200 rpm speed ensures acceptable noise levels compared to higher rotation speeds, while the SSD cache further optimizes access times.
4. Areas of application
- Desktop PCs: Ideal for desktop computers that require large storage capacity and improved performance but don't have the budget or need for a pure SSD.
- Gaming: The SSHD is well suited for gaming PCs as it offers both large storage capacity for games and faster loading times and shorter access times due to the SSD cache.
- Multimedia: Useful for users who want to store large multimedia files such as videos and photos while benefiting from faster access times to frequently used files.
- Data storage and backup: Suitable for applications where large amounts of data need to be stored and where access to frequently used data needs to be accelerated.
5. Installation
- Installation in desktop PCs:
- The hard drive is mounted in a 3.5-inch bay and connected to the motherboard via a SATA cable. Power is supplied via a SATA power cable.
- Connection:
- SATA III interface enables fast data transfer. Make sure the motherboard supports SATA III to enjoy the maximum performance of the hard drive.
6. Maintenance and care
- Data backup: Regular backups are important to prevent data loss due to hard drive damage or other problems. The combination of HDD and SSD cache can be optimized by regular backups.
- Drive Diagnostics: Use Seagate or third-party diagnostic tools to regularly check the health of your drive and identify potential problems early.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Seagate website occasionally for firmware updates that may improve the performance and reliability of the drive.
Summary
The Seagate ST2000DX001-1NS164 offers an excellent combination of storage capacity and performance through the hybrid technology of HDD and SSD. With a capacity of 2 TB, a rotation speed of 7200 rpm and a 64 MB cache, complemented by an 8 GB SSD cache, this hard drive is an excellent choice for desktop PCs, gaming systems and multimedia applications. It offers a good balance between storage space and speed, ideal for users who want to benefit from improved system performance and large amounts of data.
