Seagate Barracuda 3tb Review (1tb Platters - St3000dm001)

Series of hard disk drives produced past Seagate Applied science

A pair of Seagate Barracuda hard drives (106 GB & 1000 GB)

The Seagate Barracuda is a series of hard disk drives and afterwards solid state drives produced past Seagate Engineering science that was first introduced in 1993.^[i]

The line initially focused on loftier-capacity, high-performance SCSI hard drives until introducing ATA models in 1999 and SATA models in 2002. Since 2001, the Barracuda is Seagate'due south about popular product line as the difficult disk bulldoze industry started to motility to a 7200 RPM spindle speed.

History [edit]

In 1993 Seagate introduced the first always 7200-RPM spindle speed hard drive, the Barracuda 1, sold in chapters of 1.7 GB with a size of 3.5 inches.^[1]

On July 24, 1995, Seagate has shipped over one meg Barracuda hard drives.^[ane]

On November 13, 2000, Seagate launched the Barracuda 180 serial,^[2] information technology had the globe'southward highest capacity for hard drives at the time, with 181 GB.

On Dec 03, 2001, Seagate introduced the Barracuda 36ES2 series, one of the final Barracuda SCSI series.^[3]

On December 02, 2002, Seagate began shipping the first ever Series ATA difficult drive, the Barracuda 7200.7 series.^[4]

On Mar 24, 2003, Seagate made their Series ATA hard drive'due south available for retail consumers.^[5]

SCSI Models [edit]

Barracuda 1 & ii [edit]

In 1993, Seagate released the kickoff Barracuda drives, the ST11950N, ST11950ND, ST11950W, and ST11950WD. The serial had a chapters of two.03 GB (1.69 GB formatted), FAST SCSI-2 (N/ND) or WIDE SCSI-2 (W/WD) interface, and were the first hard drives e'er to have a spindle speed of 7200-RPM.

Attributable to their rotational speed, they were very fast merely very expensive at the time. The FAST SCSI-two interface of the N/ND drives targeted them to servers and high-performance systems. The original Barracuda offering were in a iii.5 inch "half height" format that was popular at the fourth dimension, giving it a elevation of 1.63 inches or 41.4 mm.

Seagate boasted a 5 year warranty for the drives, 500,000 hr Hateful Time Between Failures, 4.17 msec latency, and a 10 Mbit/s transfer speed on the Fast SCSI-2 bus.^[6] Omnibus speeds of the original Barracuda line would soon get up to 100 Mbit/south by 1995, even as capacity increased substantially in the first 4 iterations of the Barracuda.^[6]

The Barracuda 1 series was immediately followed up by the Barracuda 2 series, which were the same for the most part except they offered a slightly college capacity of 2.57 GB (ii.i GB formatted).

Barracuda 180 [edit]

In late 2000, Seagate introduced the Barracuda 180 series with the ST1181677LW and ST1181677LC. They were the highest capacity difficult drives in the earth at the fourth dimension. They had 12 platters with about 15 GB per platter, calculation up to 181 GB. The 12 platters fabricated the drive more than larger than nearly drives at the time, with 1.vi inches in height. They had Tagged Control Queuing with up to 64 commands and a MTBF rating of ane.2 meg hours, or 137 years. They also had a 26-47 Mbps transfer speed with the Ultra160 SCSI interface, and an average admission time of 12.i ms with 4 MB of on-board cache. On release the drives cost $ane,850.^[vii]

Later Seagate replaced the base models with the ST1181677LWV and ST1181677LCV, they had 16 MB of on-board cache versus four, and were hot-swappable if they had the right cablevision connection, but were otherwise the same.

The series was discontinued in early 2004.

Barracuda 36ES [edit]

The last SCSI Barracuda serial was announced in December 2001, with the Barracuda 36ES2 series. The series was a successor to the Barracuda 36ES series. 4 models were available in ii capacities. The ST318418N and ST318438LW had 18.4 GB while the ST336918N and ST336938LW had 36.9 GB, with ii MB of on-board cache. Both capacity drives used ane platter, with the nineteen.9 GB ones using one side of the platter. These drives were given an MTBF rating of 800,000 hours, four.17 msec latency, and a transfer charge per unit of 298 to 500 Mbit/south for 36.9 GB models and 434 to 500 Mbit/s for 18.4 GB models.

ATA and SATA models [edit]

Barracuda ATA (1999) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities betwixt 6.viii GB and 28.2 GB, with a 512 KB^[8] cache buffer and an ATA/66 interface. This is the get-go model in the Barracuda family equipped with an ATA/IDE interface.^[nine]

Barracuda ATA replaced Medalist Pro 6530/9140 drives, which were the earth'southward get-go 7200 RPM ATA/IDE drives available on the market when launched in October 1997.^[10]

Barracuda ATA Ii (2000) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities between 10 GB and 30 GB, with a 2 MB cache. Supports up to ATA/66 interface.^[xi] Seagate announced launch of Barracuda ATA 2 on January 31, 2000.^[12]

Barracuda ATA Iii (2000) [edit]

Available in capacities between 10 GB and 40 GB, with a 2 MB cache. Supports up to ATA/100 interface.^[xiii] Seagate announced launch of Barracuda ATA Iii on September half dozen, 2000.^[14]

Barracuda ATA Four (2001) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities betwixt xx GB and 80 GB, with a 2 MB cache. Supports up to the ATA/100 interface. These drives operate very quietly every bit they are one of the beginning hard drives to apply fluid dynamic bearings in their spindle motors.^[15] Furthermore, their seek times were slowed in firmware to reduce noise output.^[16]

These disks cannot operate reliably at ATA/100 on RCC/ServerWorks IDE controllers, as their drivers blacklist the disks, thus limiting their operation to ATA/66.

Barracuda ATA 4 was the first generation of Barracuda ATA drives to be available exclusively with fluid dynamic bearings in spindle motors. Seagate announced their launch on June 27, 2001.^[17]

Barracuda ATA V/ATA V Plus/Serial ATA Five (2002) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities between xxx GB (lx GB for SATA models) to 120 GB, with 2 MB cache (viii MB in SATA models), with either ATA/100 and SATA/150 interfaces. Barracuda V with SATA port is one of the outset hard drives to feature a SATA interface.^[18]

The SATA models take many problems, including random information loss (such as disappearing partitions). These disks cannot work with some Silicon Image SATA controllers, as their drivers blacklist the disks and limit the maximum sectors of each transaction below 8 KB (xv sectors), leading to considerably reduced performance.

Seagate announced launch of Barracuda ATA V on June 24, 2002.^[19]

Barracuda 7200.7/7200.7 Plus (2002-2003) [edit]

Available in capacities between 40 GB and 200 GB, with ATA/100 and SATA interface options. The drives have ii MB (marketed every bit Barracuda 7200.7) or eight MB (marketed as Barracuda 7200.7 Plus) of cache, depending on the model.^[20] Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.seven family unit on December two, 2002 with 80 GB platters and capacities up to 160 GB.^[21] Raised capacities up to 200 GB using 100 GB platters became available in September 2003.^[22] SATA models were first launched without NCQ feature, NCQ models were added to offer in 2004 (models ST380817AS, ST3120827AS and ST3160827AS, capacities between 80 and 160 GB; non-NCQ models are ST380013AS, ST3120026AS and ST3160023AS).

A budget version of Barracuda 7200.vii, marketed as U Series ix, with 1 MB of cache^[23] and different actuator mechanism,^[24] became bachelor exclusively to OEMs in early 2003. They were bachelor exclusively with ATA/100 interface. Produced capacities were 80, 120 and 160 GB.

Barracuda 7200.viii (2004) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities between 200 GB and 400 GB, with either an ATA/100 or SATA interface with NCQ, these were sold alongside the 7200.7 series, providing higher capacities than the 7200.7. The drives have 8 MB or 16 MB of cache, depending on the model.^[25] It was the first generation of Barracuda drives to offering xvi MB of cache. Starting from Barracuda 7200.8 all SATA models are shipped with NCQ feature. Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.eight on June 14, 2004.^[26]

Barracuda 7200.ix (2005) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities betwixt 40 GB and 500 GB, with either ATA/100 or SATA 3 Gbit/s interfaces and two MB, 8 MB or 16 MB of cache, depending on the model. All SATA models were available with new iii Gbit/s interface (1,5 Gbit/s manner is bachelor via jumper). Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.9 on June 8, 2005.^[27]

Certain models of Barracuda 7200.nine drives were also available under Maxtor brand, the model name under this brand was DiamondMax 20. It was the oldest generation of Barracuda drives to be as well offered under Maxtor brand after its acquisition past Seagate have been completed in 2006; model numbers of Maxtor-branded variants are identical every bit of Seagate ones only begin with STM letters.

Barracuda 7200.10 (2006) [edit]

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630A, 500GB, ATA/100

Available in capacities between 80 GB to 750 GB and either an ATA/100 or SATA 3 Gbit/south interface. two, 8 or xvi MB of cache, depending on the model. This was the first Seagate difficult drive to use perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology (only in 250 GB SATA models: ST3250410AS with 16 MB of cache and ST3250310AS with viii MB of cache). Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.10 on Apr 26, 2006.^[28] 250 GB PMR models were launched on June seven, 2007.^[29]

This is the last generation of Barracuda to feature IDE interface on sure models. This is the only generation of Barracuda to feature 750 GB as the greatest in storage limit of IDE drive ever made by any manufacturer. Industry'due south competitors concluded evolution of IDE hard drives on lower capacities: Hitachi (despite having plans to offer 750 GB and 1 TB IDE drives^[30] which were somewhen never produced and released^[31]), Maxtor (earlier its acquisition by Seagate) and Western Digital ended on 500 GB and Samsung ended on 400 GB.

Barracuda 7200.10 drives were as well available under Maxtor make, the model name under this brand was DiamondMax 21.

Firmware bug [edit]

The SATA models of this family with firmware 3.AAK [codename Milky way] or older (e.g. 3.AAE^{[ dubious – discuss ]}[codename TONKA]) accept introduced a firmware bug:

• In that location is a performance anomaly using hdparm with an NCQ queue depth of 31 in AHCI mode. Speed test measures simply 55–64 MB/s (expected: >70–75 MB/s).^[32]

Seagate does not officially provide firmware updates for this issue; withal, an unofficial firmware update^{[ dubious – discuss ]} (3.AAM) exists for the following drive models:

• ST3320820AS with role number 9BJ13G-308,
• ST3320620AS with part number 9BJ14G-308 (with firmware 3.AAK),
• ST3500830AS with role number 9BJ136-308 and
• ST3500630AS with part number 9BJ146-308.

Barracuda ES (2006) [edit]

Available in capacities between 250 GB to 750 GB, with SATA 3 Gbit/s interface and 8 or 16 MB of enshroud depending on model. The ES (Enterprise Storage) family were high-reliability drives based on Barracuda 7200.10 pattern. Intended for business-disquisitional apply, with all drives having a v-year warranty. Barracuda ES series replaced previous NL35 series (based on 7200.eight) and NL35.2 serial (based on 7200.9) enterprise drives. Seagate appear launch of Barracuda ES on June 7, 2006.^[33]

Barracuda 7200.11 (2007) [edit]

With a SATA 3 Gbit/s interface, capacities range from 160 GB to 1.5 TB.^[34] Codenames are Moose (earlier revision, using 250 GB platters) and Brinks (afterward revision, using 333 and 375 GB platters). Their cache size can be 8 MB, 16 MB or 32 MB, depending on the drive model.^[35] Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.11, forth with Barracuda ES.ii, on June 25, 2007.^[36] They were also available nether Maxtor make, the model name nether this brand was DiamondMax 22.

Alongside normally retailed models, a 2TB version (model number ST32000540AS) was produced in 2009, being marked on the characterization as Barracuda 7200.11; actually it's a pre-production series of Barracuda XT drives, installed in sure models of FreeAgent, Expansion and BlackArmor external drives. It uses the aforementioned mechanical design as in Barracuda XT and is unrelated to all other Barracuda 7200.11 models. Notable are also missing various international safety marks.

Firmware bug [edit]

This family has introduced many astringent firmware bugs:

1. Disks may not prove and apply all the cache.^[37]
2. FLUSH_CACHE commands may time out when NCQ is used.^[38]
3. In that location is a performance anomaly using hdparm with NCQ queue depth 31 in AHCI mode. Speed test measures only 45–fifty MB/s (expected: > 100–110 MB/s).
4. Disks may be inaccessible at power on.^{[39] [40]}

Disks afflicted by the final bug volition non be detected by the reckoner BIOS afterward a reboot. Numerous users have complained about this and are discussing it in a public forum^[41] when discussions in Seagate's forums^[42] were subjected to heavy moderation and subsequently airtight. The symptom of the problem is that the computer BIOS will no longer detect the hard disk drive later on a reboot, and upon connecting to the difficult disk with a series TTL lath, this fault code volition be seen equally "LED:000000CC FAddr:0024A051." Faulty firmware triggers this "failure."

Seagate FreeAgent external drives have also utilized 7200.11 hard disks with the SDxx firmware, and failures of these hard drives were besides reported. The access LED remains permanently on, despite being disconnected from USB and no longer being recognized by the estimator. Withal, Seagate says that the LED low-cal remaining permanently on had nothing to do with firmware problems. The drives have also become known for their unusually high failure rates, including sudden mechanical failures; the rapid development of large numbers of bad sectors; the motherboard detecting the drive as a different model and the drive regularly "freezing" when existence read from or written to.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Other companies have claimed^{[ citation needed ]} to be able to resolve this problem using their own solution, namely Ace Laboratory PC3000-UDMA (version 4.thirteen).

In social club to gear up the first bug, Seagate released firmware update AD14 for the affected disk models; to fix the second, tertiary and fourth bugs, Seagate released firmware updates SD1A, SD1B, SD2B and SD81. The SD2B firmware update for Brinks removes the DCO ATA feature from the disks, while SD1A for Moose adds two ATA features.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Barracuda ES.2 (2007) [edit]

Available in capacities between 250 GB (500 GB for SAS models) and 1 TB, sixteen MB enshroud for SAS models and a 32 MB cache for SATA 3 Gbit/s models. Enterprise-grade drives based on 7200.eleven series.^[43] SAS models were the first Barracuda drives with server-class interface since the discontinuation of Barracuda 180 in 2004.

Firmware bugs [edit]

Like to the 7200.xi family, this family has introduced many firmware bugs, which was fixed by SN06 firmware released past Seagate:

• RAID arrays using these disks may fail.^[44]
• Secure Erase command is not handled properly.^[45]
• There is a performance anomaly using hdparm with NCQ queue depth 31 in AHCI mode. Speed test measures only 50 MB/s (expected: >100 MB/s).^[38]
• Disks may be inaccessible at power on.^{[46] [ dubious – discuss ]}

Barracuda ES.ii is currently the last product in Seagate's enterprise line to conduct the "Barracuda" name. The successor of ES.2, launched in early 2013,^[47] is branded as "Constellation ES.3" which is based on the design of 14th-generation Barracuda.

Barracuda 7200.12 (2009) [edit]

Available in capacities between 160 GB to 1 TB. Initial models (CCxx firmware) supported up to SATA 3 Gbit/s, while afterwards revisions (firmware JCxx) support the newer SATA 6 Gbit/south interface.^[48] Their cache size can be viii MB, xvi MB or 32 MB, depending on the bulldoze model. Uses 500 GB platters. Power consumption is reduced from previous models, resulting in lower oestrus dissipation and claimed reliability improvements. Seagate announced launch of Barracuda 7200.12 on January five, 2009.^[49] SATA 6 Gbit/southward models replaced SATA three Gbit/s models in January 2011.

Barracuda 7200.12 drives were also bachelor under Maxtor make, the model proper noun nether this make was DiamondMax 23. Simply SATA 3 Gbit/s models were available under Maxtor brand and was the final generation of DiamondMax drives produced. Seagate phased out Maxtor brand in October 2009, reviving it in 2016, except for internal HDDs.

Barracuda XT, LP and Greenish (13th generation) (2009/x) [edit]

Hard disk Seagate Barracuda 1500 GB, three.5 inch, chapters 1.5 TB, built 2011. The head unload ramp is the orange plastic piece on the correct edge of the bulldoze.

Available in capacities between ii TB and 3 TB (XT) with 64 MB cache, one TB and 2 TB (LP) with 16 MB or 32 MB cache, 1 TB, ane.v TB and 2 TB (Green) with 16 MB to 64 MB enshroud depending on model. This is the first Barracuda serial to support SATA 6 Gbit/due south and its buffer size is 64 MB. Rotation speed is 7,200 RPM for XT, and 5,900 RPM for LP and Green.

Barracuda XT was launched on September 21, 2009.^[50]

Barracuda XT is intended for loftier-operation gaming computers and workstations with sustained information transfer rate of 149 MB/s. LP is designated for mass storage applications favoring depression estrus output, placidity operation and better-than-average energy efficiency.

Barracuda Light-green 2000 GB (ST2000DL003)

The Barracuda Green serial was introduced in December 2010 as a high-functioning, eco-friendly, depression-power internal bulldoze, replacing the Barracuda LP series.^[51] It is the first to apply Avant-garde Format sectors and operates at 5900 RPM.

Barracuda XT used re-engineered mechanical design, which featured, for the beginning fourth dimension in desktop difficult drives from Seagate, a head unload ramp, a characteristic shared with Western Digital, Toshiba, and HGST drives at the time that keeps the heads from ever having to touch the platters and drastically improving the rated start/stop cycle count. The aforementioned pattern was subsequently re-used in Seagate'south enterprise hard drives. Original Barracuda LP models used the same mechanical blueprint every bit used in Barracuda 7200.11 drives, later on ones (and Green models), like XT, also used re-engineered mechanical design, but was unlike. It was after re-used in 14th generation of Barracuda drives.

Firmware bugs [edit]

The Barracuda LP serial too present firmware bug that might be alleviated by the latest firmware bachelor on the Seagate web site (CC35),^[52] although in that location are reports that drives with the CC35 firmware loaded continue to showroom the same problems as before firmware releases.^[53] The almost commonly referred outcome with the Barracuda LP series drives appears to be ane variation or another of the infamous click of death problem; the drive volition start to emit a regular clicking racket at some signal in its early life (possibly even at first start) and afterwards some time will neglect altogether, often after a few months of utilise. While the clicking noise is emitted, the hard drive is inaccessible and may prevent the BIOS from detecting it.

At that place is also a CC95 firmware (at least some of those drives came as part of external Seagate FreeAgent drives), but it is non clear whether this build fixes all known issues, and why firmware versions betwixt CC35 and CC95 do not seem to be.

Barracuda (14th generation) (2012) [edit]

Available in capacities between 250 GB to 3 TB, 7200 RPM, 16 MB to 64 MB cache, depending on the model. Commencement Seagate hard drives with i TB^[54] per platter technology. From this generation onwards, Seagate phased out previous "green" models, citing the inherent power saving functions featured on the 14th generation removed the need for a split up low-ability design. One model in particular, ST3000DM001, is notable for its high failure rate,^[55] frequently experiencing bad sector growth and head crashes.

BarraCuda (16th generation) (2016) [edit]

The successor of the 14th generation Barracuda, branded as "Desktop HDD", was a v,900 RPM series launched in early 2013 and was not considered office of the Barracuda line.

"Barracuda" name made a comeback in 2016, stylized by Seagate as BarraCuda. Bachelor in capacities between 500 GB to 8 TB. Buffer sizes vary from 32 MB for 500 GB and ane TB models to 256 MB for three TB to 8 TB units.^[56] Currently listed BarraCuda drives mostly utilise shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology to write data onto platters, and spin up at 5400 RPM (exception is model ST2000DM008, which spins upward at 7200 RPM while utilizing SMR technology). 500 GB and one TB models yet use perpendicular magnetic recording technology and spin at 7200 RPM, but they also do not feature load/unload ramps, instead using contact get-go/stop engineering.^[57]

BarraCuda Pro (2016) [edit]

Bachelor in capacities between 2 TB and 14 TB. Launched aslope BarraCuda, information technology is described as "Perfect for high performance desktop, creative pro desktop applications, and gaming".^[56] This series has higher read/write performance than standard BarraCuda drives; 1 PCWorld review noted its consistent read speed throughout its entire chapters, which is unusual for a conventional HDD.^[58]

While 2 and 4 TB models characteristic 128 MB of enshroud, all other capacities feature 256 MB of cache. Capacities from 8 TB are helium-sealed drives, while lower ones (including viii TB model ST8000DM005) are air-sealed. All models spin up at 7200 RPM, have 512 bytes per sector and write information onto platter using perpendicular magnetic recording technology.^[59]

Warranty length [edit]

Warranty menstruum is either 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or v years from the documented date of purchase, depending on the type of product and where it was purchased.^[60]
