Seagate IronWolf 3.5" 3TB, 5400 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The Seagate IronWolf ST3000VN006 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive specifically engineered for use in Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. It offers a 3 TB storage capacity, providing substantial space for data backup, file sharing, and media storage in multi-user environments. The drive is constructed for continuous 24/7 operation, ensuring data is consistently accessible for home, SOHO, and small business applications. Its firmware is optimized to balance performance and reliability for always-on NAS workloads.

Data transfer is handled via a SATA III interface with a rate of 6 Gbit/s, supported by a 256 MB cache to facilitate efficient read and write operations. The drive operates at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM, achieving transfer speeds up to 202 MB/s. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain consistent performance in multi-bay NAS enclosures by mitigating vibration from adjacent drives. It is rated for a workload of 180 TB per year and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours.
