Silent Good performance

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.

Lost cost storage Reliable name No issues recognizing drive

does it's job.

Ran 4 of these in a storage array for a few years. They replaced a similar array built on smaller SATA drives. Needless to say, they're muuuuch faster than the SATA drives.

- Pretty quiet for a enterprise drive - Enterprise quality - Easily recognized by BIOS and Windows - GPT formatting was painless and quick. Resulting space is 2.72tb

Replaced the old drive in my External Seagate drive. The swap was easy to do (thanks youTube video) and now I have lots of extra space.

- Formatted cleanly and no errors on extended drive test. - Added to existing array cleanly. - Have been consistently getting 6+ years out of IronWolf drives in 24x7 RAID environment for media server.

- High-performance HDD - High Capacity HDD for not a lot of money (bought during a sale)

Was able to make a full 4tb partition using Ubuntu 18.04. (link below for guide) Size + Price + Enterprise = good buy
