Enterprise SAS hard drive for bulk storage

The Seagate ST2000NM0034 is a 2000 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SAS 12Gb/s interface, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 128 MB cache. It is built for enterprise storage arrays and servers that demand continuous operation. The drive delivers high-capacity density for RAID environments handling unstructured data.

Suited for RAID arrays and 24x7 workloads

This drive suits administrators deploying multi-drive firmware in enterprise RAID systems rated for 550 TB per year workloads. It is not for buyers who need a single-port interface or a drive rated for lighter desktop duty cycles. The dual-port SAS design targets high-availability configurations rather than standalone desktop use.

Interface speed and form factor decide fit

The SAS 12Gb/s interface and 3.5 inch form factor determine whether this drive matches your backplane and controller. Verify that your chassis and HBA support dual-port SAS at 12 Gb/s before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter to connect this ST2000NM0034 drive?

Yes, the drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface and requires a compatible SAS controller or HBA with a 3.5-inch drive bay and power connector.

Can this 7200 RPM enterprise drive share a SAS backplane with older 6Gb/s SAS disks?

The ST2000NM0034 supports SAS 12Gb/s and will negotiate down to 6Gb/s on a shared backplane, allowing mixed-speed operation.

How can I verify the 128MB cache and 4.16ms latency are active after installation?

Check the drive’s reported cache size and average latency in SMART data or your RAID controller’s management utility to confirm specifications.
