ST4000NM003A 4TB SATA 7200RPM 128MB Brand new original
The Seagate ST4000NM003A is a 4TB enterprise-class 3.5-inch SATA hard drive built for 24/7 operation in servers, storage arrays, and high-availability backup targets. Its 7200 RPM spindle and 128 MB cache suit mixed read/write workloads such as NAS, virtualization storage pools, and bulk data archiving. Note that sustained performance depends on the host SATA controller supporting 6 Gb/s to fully realize the interface speed.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 4 TB |
| Interface | SATA 6 Gb/s |
| Form Factor | 3.5-inch |
| Spindle Speed | 7200 RPM |
| Cache | 128 MB |
| MTBF | 2 million hours (enterprise reliability rating) |
| Workload Rating | Up to 550 TB/year (guidance for duty-cycle planning) |
| Features | Enterprise-class error recovery, vibration tolerance, 24/7 operation support |
| Condition | Brand new original (confirm warranty terms with supplier before order) |
Good to know
- Uses a standard SATA 6 Gb/s interface, so it integrates with most servers, NAS enclosures, and RAID controllers; verify backplane compatibility for hot-swap bays.
- Compared with nearline/5400 RPM class drives, the 7200 RPM spindle and 128 MB cache provide faster random access, while the 550 TB/year workload rating positions it above desktop-grade drives for continuous-duty environments.
- When ordering for export or volume deployment, confirm firmware requirements and whether your RAID controller requires specific drive qualification before purchase.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
