Seagate Constellation ES.3 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s Enterprise HDD

The Seagate ST3000NM0033 is a hard drive that delivers 3 TB of reliable storage for servers and workstations that run around the clock. It installs in any system that accepts a 3.5-inch SATA bay and communicates over a 6.0 Gb/s link, allowing large data sets to move quickly when backup windows are tight and access demands are high.

Engineered for enterprise duty cycles, the drive maintains a steady 7200 RPM rotation and carries a 128 MB cache so frequently requested files surface without delay. Whether you are expanding a small business file server, building a rugged backup target for a creative studio, or adding capacity to a data-center rack, this model offers the consistent performance that nearline workloads expect.

Seagate’s eighth-generation platform adds another layer of confidence with Self-Encrypting Drive technology. Data remains protected at rest, and secure drive retirement is as simple as changing the encryption key. That security, combined with twenty-four by seven operational ratings, makes the drive a practical choice for organizations that store customer records, media archives, or virtual machine libraries.

Installation is straightforward. Standard SATA cabling and power leads are all that is required, and most operating systems recognize the drive immediately for quick provisioning. Once online, the 3 TB capacity can hold thousands of high-resolution videos, millions of documents, or an extensive collection of virtual images, all housed in a single, proven platform.
