3 TB Constellation ES Drive

This Seagate Constellation ES model ST33000650NS provides 3 TB of storage on a 3.5 inch SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with 64 MB cache and is built for 24×7 operation in desktop systems. The bare drive suits users who need high-capacity bulk storage for daily computing workloads.

Installation Notes

The drive fits standard 3.5 inch bays and connects via a regular SATA data and power cable. No special drivers are required for the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. Buyers should note the units are used and may show markings or label variations. Up to 25 bad sectors are possible and the drives arrive unformatted, unpartitioned and unallocated.

SATA Interface Limits

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s link caps maximum transfer speed at the bus ceiling, so sustained throughput will not exceed that boundary. Mechanical latency at 7200 RPM also limits random access performance compared with solid-state media. The drive has been erased to DoD 5220.22 M compliance but carries no manufacturer warranty.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ST33000650NS is running at 7200 RPM with 64 MB cache after installation?

Check the drive model and firmware in BIOS or disk utility; both should report 7200 RPM rotational speed and 64 MB cache size.

What comes in the box with the bare-drive ST33000650NS and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the 3.5" hard drive; you must supply a SATA data cable, SATA power cable and mounting screws.

Which capacity version of the Constellation ES.2 ST33000650NS should I choose for a 3 TB storage need?

This model is the single 3 TB capacity variant; select it when your target storage is exactly 3 TB.
