Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive

The Seagate Barracuda ST16000DM001 is a 16 TB internal hard drive designed to provide high-capacity storage for desktop computing environments. It utilizes a standard 3.5-inch form factor, making it compatible with most PC towers, workstations, and home server chassis. This drive is engineered for general-purpose workloads such as managing large media libraries, performing system backups, or storing extensive application data. Its primary function is to serve as a storage expansion solution for users requiring substantial and readily accessible disk space.

The drive operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which contributes to lower latency and faster data retrieval compared to slower-speed models. It features a 512 MB buffer to help manage data flow and optimize performance during intensive read and write tasks. Connection is established through a SATA interface, supporting transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s for compatibility with contemporary systems. Integrated S.M.A.R.T. technology allows for continuous monitoring of the drive's operational health, and the unit is rated for 24/7 power-on operation within its specified workload limit.
