Seagate ST1000DM014 – 1TB 3.5-Inch Desktop Hard Drive
The Seagate ST1000DM014 is a 1TB 3.5-inch desktop-class hard drive from Seagate’s Barracuda family, positioned for general-purpose desktop and entry-level workstation builds where cost-per-terabyte matters more than extreme throughput. It suits system integrators and resellers supplying mainstream PC builds, secondary storage, and light-duty bulk storage. Note that as a mechanical drive it is not a drop-in replacement for SSDs in latency-sensitive workloads, and buyers should verify SATA and power cabling availability in target chassis.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | ST1000DM014 |
| Capacity | 1TB (1000GB) |
| Form Factor | 3.5-inch |
| Interface | SATA 6 Gb/s |
| Spindle Speed | 7200 RPM (desktop-class mechanical drive) |
| Cache | 64MB |
| Data Transfer Rate | Up to 210 MB/s (maximum, workload dependent) |
| Power Consumption | Energy-efficient design for desktops |
Good to know
- This drive uses a standard SATA 6 Gb/s interface and is backward compatible with older SATA generations, though link speed will be limited by the host controller; confirm chassis bay clearance for 3.5-inch form factor before ordering.
- Unlike Seagate’s workload-specific lines such as IronWolf (NAS), SkyHawk (surveillance), and Exos (enterprise), the Barracuda family targets desktop and consumer workloads, making it appropriate for general computing rather than 24/7 multi-bay or continuous-write environments.
- At 7200 RPM it offers faster spindle speeds than typical 5400 RPM desktop drives in the same class, but still delivers far higher latency than any SSD — for boot drives or transactional workloads, pair or substitute with an SSD and use this unit for capacity storage.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
