Overview
The Seagate IronWolf ST10000VN000 is a 10TB internal hard drive designed for network-attached storage (NAS) systems. It combines a 3.5-inch form factor with SATA 6Gb/s connectivity and a 7200RPM spindle speed for shared storage environments requiring substantial disk capacity. The drive is designed for multi-bay NAS deployments and supports continuous operation in compatible storage systems.
Technical Information
This model uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR) and includes a 256MB cache buffer. Its rotational vibration sensors, dual-plane balance design, and error recovery controls support operation in multi-drive NAS enclosures. The drive also supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring.
The manufacturer specifies a maximum sustained transfer rate of up to 210 MB/s under the stated test conditions. Actual throughput depends on workload, host configuration, drive condition, and the storage system in which it operates.
Compatibility and Installation
The ST10000VN000 uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and a standard 3.5-inch internal drive form factor. Before purchasing, confirm that the NAS enclosure or computer supports 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and the required storage capacity.
Seagate specifies support for NAS configurations with one to eight drive bays. Compatibility with a particular NAS model, RAID configuration, or operating system should be confirmed against the system manufacturer's supported-drive documentation.
Key Features
- 10TB storage capacity: Provides substantial internal storage for NAS-based files and shared data.
- CMR recording: Uses conventional magnetic recording technology.
- Rotational vibration sensors: Designed to help maintain drive performance in multi-drive enclosures.
- NAS-oriented design: Includes dual-plane balancing and error recovery controls for multi-bay storage environments.
- S.M.A.R.T. support: Enables supported host systems to monitor and report drive health information.
Applications
- Network-attached storage systems for shared files and centralized data storage.
- Multi-bay NAS enclosures supporting compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drives.
- Home and small-business storage servers.
- NAS-based backup repositories and general-purpose data storage.
DC Supplies Product Note
For NAS installations using multiple drives, verify the enclosure's supported-drive list, available drive-bay capacity, and RAID requirements before ordering. Seagate specifies a maximum workload rate below 180TB per year for this model; systems with heavier write workloads should be evaluated against the manufacturer's workload guidance.
