About the Seagate ST8000NM000A 8TB 3.5-inch SATA Enterprise HDD
The Seagate ST8000NM000A delivers 8TB capacity at 7200 RPM, positioning it in the high-capacity, mid-speed tier for general-purpose enterprise storage deployments. Part of the Seagate Exos 7E8 series, this 3.5-inch SATA drive combines proven conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology with proven reliability metrics designed for continuous datacenter operation. Storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating bulk capacity solutions will find this drive's 550TB/year workload rating and 2,000,000-hour MTBF well-suited to moderate-to-heavy I/O environments.
The ST8000NM000A connects via SATA 6Gb/s interface with a 256MB cache buffer and sustains up to 254MB/s sequential transfer rates. Operating power draw remains economical at 7.8W typical under load and 5.0W idle, reducing total cost of ownership in large-scale deployments. The drive withstands 70Gs shock (operating, 2ms) and 250Gs non-operating, while rotational vibration compensation ensures stable performance in multi-drive arrays. Built for longevity, the mechanism supports 600,000 load/unload cycles and maintains a non-recoverable read error rate of 1 per 10^15 bits read. Operating temperature range spans 0°C to 70°C, accommodating diverse thermal environments.
Typical Enterprise Workloads
- Mid-tier NAS arrays and direct-attached storage (DAS) systems requiring sustained capacity and modest performance
- Surveillance and archival repositories with continuous sequential write patterns
- General-purpose file serving and departmental storage infrastructure
- Backup and disaster-recovery targets in secondary datacenter tiers
- RAID configurations prioritizing total usable capacity over peak throughput
