NAS is an abbreviation for Network Attached Storage. Seagate is able to do this, due to the drive's outstanding areal density specification. Seagate can operate this drive at a reduced RPM, because they are only using four platters instead of five like WD does in their Black and Enterprise 4 TB series. I got this spec from a review on the similar Seagate HDD.15 model desktop drive on Legit Storage Reviews. Seagate does not publish an RPM spec anywhere that I could find on their website. I believe this drive operates at 5,900 RPM. Both manufacturers try to solve the heat problem by running their NAS drives at a reduced RPM.
Anytime you cram up to five hard drives into a small box, you are going to have heat issues. A year later we now have Seagate following suit with their three new NAS drives, in capacities of: 2, 3 and 4 TB. First a little history: Last summer Western Digital created a new line of hard drives specifically designed for use in NAS systems, called the red series. This is the largest of Seagate's new NAS drive line. This hard drive can be found on NewEgg under SKU: N82E16822178393. Pros: I tested the ST4000VN000 4 TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive.
*All tests were conducted three times to ensure accuracy and repeatability of results. Not related to the drive but Newegg’s new hard drive packaging is fantastic as the drive is held together so tightly I could barely get it out of the box. Again regarding the performance I bought theses for reliability as they are made for 24/7 use not because they are the fastest mechanical hard drives. The performance isn’t where I’d like it to be but is still good enough for my usage as they are still faster than the maximum throughput of a Gigabit Ethernet connection so they are prefect for my home server. I would recommend these drives for anyone with setup where they have a server, a NAS or just a computer they leave on all the time.

Overall Review: Overall these are very good drives, they run silent and vibration free and don’t consume a lot of power. Also the power consumption would go up and again I’m sure Seagate was aiming for a lower power envelop for these drives. The performance improvement by switching them to 7200 RPM would be great but I assume Seagate didn’t want to do that in order to help ensure they have little to no vibration which currently they don’t. So if you don’t have a SATA III capable motherboard, don’t worry about it.Ĭons: These drives spin at 5900 RPM. I also tested the new drive on a SATA II connection and as I figured the results were within a margin of error as some values were higher and some were lower than when on the SATA III connection. Temperature (Ran significantly cooler than two Seagate 2 TB ST2000M001 in my home server) I bought two of the 3 TB models and here are their benchmark results: Initially and after my stress tests the drives reported no SMART errors of any kind and all of the values were good and where they should be. Ran excessive benchmarks and tests to try and break in the drives in order to ensure they were not likely to fail early on before configuring them for use in my server. The only time I ever heard them was when the drives spun back up from being off and after the initial spin up they returned to being silent. Very quiet, never made a sound while in use. Quiet drive operation enhances customer experience in living room or office environments.Īdditional Information Date First Available Advanced power management supports multiple power profiles for low-power, 24 x 7 performance. Improved vibration tolerance and emission in multi-drive systems with dual-plane balance. NAS error recovery controls optimize drive health by helping to ensure drives are not dropped from the NAS and sent into a RAID rebuild. NASWorks technology supports customized error recovery controls, power management and vibration tolerance for optimal performance and reliability in a 1- to 8-bay solution with 20 users or less.
