The ST3000VN000-1HJ166 is a hard drive from Seagate that was specially designed for use in NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems. Here is the detailed information about this model, including technical details, features, areas of application and other relevant aspects:
1. General description
The Seagate ST3000VN000-1HJ166 is a 3TB (terabyte) hard drive that belongs to the Seagate IronWolf series. This series is optimized for use in NAS systems and offers high reliability and performance for long-term and intensive data processing. The hard drive uses the SATA interface and is designed for high capacity and robustness to meet the demands of continuous data access and storage.
2. Technical details
- Capacity: 3 TB. This capacity is ideal for storing large amounts of data, such as backups, media files, or extensive data archives in NAS systems.
- Form factor: 3.5 inches. The 3.5-inch form factor is the standard for desktop hard drives and is suitable for integration into desktop computers and NAS enclosures.
- Interface: SATA III (6 Gbit/s). The SATA III interface enables data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbit/s and ensures fast data transfer between the hard drive and the rest of the system.
- Rotational speed: 5900 RPM (revolutions per minute). The 5900 RPM speed offers a balanced performance between speed and energy efficiency, which is especially important for NAS systems that operate 24/7.
- Cache memory: 64 MB. The cache memory helps to temporarily store frequently used data, improving the access speed and overall performance of the hard drive.
- Average access time: About 8.5 ms. This access time describes the average time the hard drive needs to access data.
- Error correction: SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology). SMART technology continuously monitors the hard drive for possible errors and provides early warnings to prevent data loss.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 1,000,000 hours. The MTBF indicates the average time between two malfunctions and reflects the reliability of the hard drive.
- Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C. This operating temperature range ensures that the hard drive functions reliably in different environments.
- Weight: Approximately 600-700 g. The weight makes the hard drive robust and reliable for use in a NAS or desktop system.
3. Features
- IronWolf Health Management (IHM): The IronWolf series offers the IronWolf Health Management tool that continuously monitors the health of the hard drive and provides diagnostic information. This tool can be integrated into NAS systems to proactively monitor the health of the hard drive.
- Vibration Tolerance: The hard drive is designed for use in high vibration environments. This is especially important for NAS systems that contain multiple hard drives and can therefore generate vibration and noise.
- Power Management: Optimized power management to reduce power consumption and extend the life of the hard drive. This includes power saving modes and efficient power usage.
- Data Recovery Services: Seagate offers a paid data recovery service in the event of data loss. This provides additional security and protection for important data.
- NAS Optimization: The hard drive is specifically optimized for NAS applications, which means it is designed for continuous operation and multiple user access. This also includes features such as support for RAID configurations.
4. Application area
- NAS systems: The ST3000VN000-1HJ166 is ideal for use in NAS systems designed for central storage and access to data in a network. The high capacity and reliability make it an excellent choice for home and small business NAS solutions.
- Backup solutions: The hard drive is ideal for backup systems that need to store large amounts of data. It offers sufficient storage space for full system backups and data backups.
- Media servers: Due to its large capacity and stability, the hard drive is also suitable for media servers that store and stream large media files such as films, music and photos.
- Archiving: This hard drive is also suitable for long-term data archiving where high storage capacity and reliability are important.
- Desktop PCs: Can also be used in desktop PCs to provide additional storage space, especially when large amounts of data are processed regularly.
5. Special features
- High capacity: With 3 TB, the hard drive offers plenty of storage space for large amounts of data and large files, making it ideal for intensive applications.
- Reliability and robustness: Designed for 24/7 operation in NAS systems, it offers high reliability and durability.
- Optimization for NAS: The special optimization for NAS applications ensures high performance in multi-user environments and reduces the effects of vibration and heat.
- Energy Efficiency: Power management reduces running costs and extends the life of the hard drive.
In summary, the Seagate ST3000VN000-1HJ166 is a high-performance and reliable hard drive designed for demanding applications in NAS systems and other storage scenarios. Its high capacity, optimization for continuous operation, and advanced features make it an excellent choice for users who rely on stability and performance.
