Purpose-built video storage

This refurbished Seagate Video ST1000VM002 provides 1TB of capacity on a 3.5 inch SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The 5900 RPM spindle and 64MB cache are tuned for continuous streaming workloads. It targets installers and system builders who need reliable 24/7 operation for surveillance or DVR arrays.

Build integration

The bare drive fits any standard 3.5 inch bay with a SATA data and power connection. Its 3.0Gb/s link works with older SATA controllers without negotiation issues. Lower rotational speed reduces heat and acoustic output, freeing thermal headroom in compact recorder chassis where multiple drives share limited airflow.

Capacity and headroom

One terabyte accommodates weeks of multi-camera footage at typical bit-rates before overwrite cycles begin. Average seek of 8.5ms and latency of 5.1ms sustain steady sequential writes, while the 64MB buffer absorbs short bursts. The drive is not suited for high-random-access workloads such as operating-system boots or database indexing.

Questions about this item

How does the 5900 RPM spindle speed affect sustained write performance?

The 5900 RPM spindle speed limits sustained throughput compared to faster drives; average write time is 9ms and average latency is 5.1ms under continuous operation.

What are the thermal and acoustic characteristics during 24/7 operation?

Designed for 24/7 reliability with low-power consumption; the 5900 RPM motor generates less heat and noise than higher-speed desktop drives during all-day use.

Which host interface and form factor must my system support for this drive?

Your system needs a free 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA 3.0Gb/s port; the drive uses a standard SATA data and power connector.
