ST8000NM003B 8TB SATA 7200RPM 256MB Brand new original
The Seagate ST8000NM003B is an 8TB enterprise-class 3.5-inch hard drive designed for buyers building or expanding dense storage environments such as NAS, server arrays, and data center storage tiers. With a SATA 6Gb/s interface, 7200 RPM spindle, and 256 MB cache, it targets workloads that need sustained capacity with dependable throughput. Note that encryption features via Seagate Secure™ may depend on host controller support, so verify platform compatibility before deployment.

Good to know
- Ensure your backplane and SATA controller support 6Gb/s drives and ISE commands; older RAID cards may not expose Instant Secure Erase functionality.
- Within Seagate’s enterprise HDD family, this 7200 RPM class drive sits above nearline/5400-class models for throughput-sensitive storage tiers, while the 550 TB/year workload rating addresses demanding multi-user NAS and data center duty cycles.
- Confirm the workload rating matches your write profile before ordering — drives rated for 550 TB/year are intended for enterprise duty, not lower-rated desktop-class applications; request batch consistency (same firmware and manufacture lot) for RAID deployments.
