Sequential performance is good. I measured (sequential Read/Write aka Verify) of: ~190 MB/sec (Outside Diameter - empty), ~155 MB/sec (Middle Diameter - half full), ~85 MB/sec (Inside Diameter - full).
The ST3000VX010 is the 3TB capacity point of this series of Seagate drives. I also own the 1TB version (ST1000VX005).
Capacity points of: 2TB (ST2000VX008), 4TB (ST4000VX007), 6TB (ST6000VX0023), and 8TB (ST8000VX0022) are also available.
The device internally has three Disks and five (or six) Heads. Recording density (max) is: 1740k BPI. Track density (avg) is: 346k tracks/in. Areal density (avg) is: 613 Gb/in^2. Internal data transfer rate (max) is: 1813 Mb/sec.
The device weighs 610g / 1.345 lb, with a height of 26.1mm / 1.028 in.
Load/Unload cycles (25°C, 50% rel. humidity) - 300,000.
Power-on to ready (in seconds) - 15 (typical) / 17 (max).
The most important aspect of any mechanical Disk Drive is reliability (i.e. can you read your data back off the device years after you wrote it to the device). Obviously I have not been able to test the device for years.
The Areal density suggests the device 3TB does NOT employ Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), however the specification is not explicit.

I recommend this product.
- It is very quiet on a Synology machine. Same when I moved it to a T350.
- Space… 8 TB!
- No frills, it just works!
- It does NOT make use of the 6.0 Gb/s bandwidth available.
- 3 year warranty. All electronics should have 5 years minimum if the company stands behind it’s products… you decide ...
This is not a con, however, the drive does get quite warm after about 7 days of testing. This is ok, as long as you have enough ventilation in your case.
Crystal Mark Stats:
235 / 232
3 / 2
234 / 229
.9 / 2.5
All in all, this is a fairly decent drive as long as you use it as a clone drive (or in a raid). Due to the very low warranty, I wouldn’t use it for anything important.

| Features | ImagePerfect firmware supports 24x7 surveillance-optimized workloads tuned to record ~90% of the time and play back video footage the remaining 10%, and supports more cameras recording at higher resolutions than traditional drives. Workload rating of 180TB/year allows SkyHawk to perform reliably in write-intensive surveillance systems - 3x the workload rating of a desktop-class drive. Rotational vibration (RV) sensors allow drives to maintain performance in RAID and multi-drive systems, giving customers the flexibility to grow with the booming NVR market and scale their systems when more storage is needed. ATA streaming support sustains recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth, uninterrupted footage. Up to 10TB or 10,000 hours of HD video storage supports an increased number of cameras and helps to ensure longer data retention periods are met. 1M hours MTBF represents an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) with reduced maintenance costs. Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves reliability in surveillance solutions. Tarnish-resistant components help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability.
