The ST8000NT001 is a high-capacity internal hard drive manufactured by Seagate, designed for use in a variety of storage applications, including NAS (Network Attached Storage), RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), and other storage-intensive environments. This drive belongs to Seagate’s IronWolf series, which is known for its reliability and performance in multi-drive setups.
Key Features of the Seagate ST8000NT001:
1. Capacity:
- 8TB Capacity: The ST8000NT001 offers an impressive 8 terabytes (TB) of storage, making it suitable for users needing large amounts of space for files, backups, and media storage. Its high capacity makes it ideal for both home and small business environments where large volumes of data need to be stored and accessed regularly.
2. Form Factor:
- 3.5-inch Desktop HDD: The drive comes in a 3.5-inch form factor, which is standard for desktop hard drives. This form factor allows for easy installation into most desktop and NAS enclosures.
3. Interface:
- SATA 6Gb/s Interface (Serial ATA): The ST8000NT001 utilizes the SATA III interface, which offers a data transfer rate of up to 6Gb/s. This interface ensures compatibility with most motherboards and NAS devices that support SATA connections.
4. Performance:
- Cache Size: The drive is equipped with 256MB of cache, which helps improve data retrieval times and speeds up data transfer operations.
- RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): The ST8000NT001 operates at 5900 RPM, which is typical for NAS drives. While not as fast as 7200 RPM drives, the 5900 RPM speed is optimized for quieter operation and lower power consumption, while still providing reliable performance for continuous data access.
5. Reliability and Durability:
- Designed for 24/7 Operation: The ST8000NT001 is built for continuous, around-the-clock use. It is rated for 24/7 operation, meaning it can handle the demands of always-on systems, including NAS devices, home servers, and surveillance systems, where uptime is critical.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The drive is engineered to provide a high MTBF of up to 1 million hours, ensuring long-term reliability and durability in demanding environments.
- Vibration Tolerance: The IronWolf drives, including the ST8000NT001, are built with specialized hardware to handle vibration, particularly in multi-drive systems, which helps maintain stable performance in NAS setups.
6. Energy Efficiency:
- Low Power Consumption: The ST8000NT001 is designed to be energy-efficient, with the 5900 RPM spin rate contributing to lower power consumption compared to higher RPM drives. This makes it suitable for environments where minimizing electricity costs is important, such as in larger NAS or data center systems that need to keep operational costs down.
7. NAS Optimization:
- IronWolf Health Management (IHM): The ST8000NT001 is equipped with Seagate’s IronWolf Health Management system, which helps users monitor the health of the drive and protect their data from unexpected failures. This feature is particularly useful in NAS devices, where multiple drives are often used in RAID arrays.
- AgileArray Technology: This technology helps optimize the ST8000NT001 for multi-drive NAS systems, improving drive performance, reliability, and power management. It includes features like dual-plane balancing and advanced power management, which help ensure smooth operation in high-density environments.
8. Data Protection:
- Data Recovery Services: Seagate offers Data Recovery Services (DRS), which can help recover data in case of accidental damage or drive failure. This adds a layer of peace of mind for users who store critical or irreplaceable data on the drive.
- Seagate Rescue Services: Available for an additional fee, this service offers comprehensive data recovery support in the event of hardware failure.
9. Warranty:
- 3-Year Limited Warranty: The ST8000NT001 is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, offering coverage in case of any manufacturing defects or premature failure.
