ST31000340NS
The ST31000340NS is a hard drive from Seagate that belongs to the Barracuda ES.2 series. This series is designed for reliability and performance for server and workstation applications. Here are the comprehensive details about this model:
1. General Description
The Seagate ST31000340NS is a 1 TB internal hard drive designed for use in servers, workstations and demanding desktop PCs. Known for its high capacity, reliability and robustness, the Barracuda ES.2 series offers an excellent solution for storage applications that require high data security and integrity.
2. Technical details
- Capacity: 1 TB (1000 GB). This generous capacity offers plenty of storage space for operating systems, applications, large data sets and media files.
- Form factor: 3.5 inches. The 3.5 inch form factor is the standard for internal hard drives in desktop PCs, workstations and servers.
- Interface: SATA II (3 Gbit/s). The SATA II interface enables data transfer rates of up to 3 Gbit/s (300 MB/s), providing a fast and reliable connection for most applications.
- Rotational speed: 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute). This rotational speed ensures good performance when accessing data and is a compromise between speed and power consumption.
- Cache memory: 32 MB. The cache memory is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data in order to improve performance and reduce access times.
- Average access time: Approximately 8.5 ms. This access time describes the average time that the hard drive needs to access data.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 1,200,000 hours. This figure indicates the average time between two failures and reflects the reliability of the hard drive.
- Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C. This temperature range ensures that the hard drive operates reliably in most normal operating environments.
- Weight: Approximately 600 g. The weight is typical for 3.5-inch hard drives and allows installation in desktop PCs and server chassis.
3. Features
- NCQ (Native Command Queuing): This feature enables more efficient management of commands to the hard drive by optimizing the order of read and write operations to improve overall performance.
- SMART Technology: The hard drive uses SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) to monitor hard drive health and predict possible errors to prevent data loss. -
Enhanced Error Correction: The hard drive uses advanced error correction techniques to ensure data integrity and reduce data errors.
- Acoustic Management: This feature reduces the noise generated by the hard drive and ensures quieter operation, which is particularly beneficial in noise-sensitive environments.
- Power Management: The hard drive offers power reduction features to minimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
