Pros: I am using this as my primary genomic dataset decompression/analysis/recompression drive. It replaced the competitor’s highest-end consumer-grade performance hard drive, which also has a five year warranty. Sustained writes of 170MB/s are amongst the highest I’ve seen from a single (mechanical/platter-based) hard drive. For comparison, the drive it replaced topped out at 150MB/s according to my testing. This Seagate drive also has slightly lower latencies than the drive it replaced. At…

Pros: Newegg product listing N82E16822178306, Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0023 boasts as solid drive. I haven’t visited Seagate’s High-end product line since their departure from the 5-year warranty of standard consumer lines several years back and only have had two 1 TB models recently for video editing / capture ( RAID 0). Since some time has passed from owning a high-end Seagate product, I welcomed the opportunity to see what Seagate has been putting under the hood lately on their…

Pros: Drive came in a nice clear plastic case and wrapped in Bubble wrap. The 4TB size is superb for an enterprise drive. Physically the drive looks like a standard 3.5” black and metal Seagate drive (but still nice!) The Formatted size with a single NTFS Partition was 3.63TB space available! This drive has SAS Performance and quality with energy efficiency + 6GBps! Here are some bench results: Using AS SSD (it was one I had available) Seq Read: 172.87 \ Seq Write: 170.85 (MBps) 4K Read: .80…

Pros: 16 of these in production at present in a large file storage cluster. So far they’ve performed well. Cons: None so far. Overall Review: This probably goes without saying, but as drives get bigger, it’s really important that you engineer your solution for not only enough raw space but also enough IOPs.

Pros: This Dive is solid as a rock. You can not bet the 5 year Manufacturer Warranty. I have mine on 24x7x365 with no down time. but even more the 128MB Cache this is top of the Line. Cons: So I have order 100 of these drives over the last 2 years, and found a new drive fail rate of 4% with in the first 3 months.( Don’t Return it to Newegg use the Manufacturer Warranty From Seagate. They can overnight the Drives. Just be Nice and let them know it is time sensitive) Then the fail rate drop to…

Pros: Drive is quiet, fast and has excellent throughput – can you ask for more? Cons: None at present, will add another review if that changes. Overall Review: Purchased two at the same time. Both units are working well.

Pros: SAS connection and instruction set. ES.3 is a good improvement. Fast and reliable. I am using these and the 1TB versions in a SAN environment and have had good success. Cons: None. Overall Review: This is not a SATA drive. SATA drives will work with a SAS connection, but SAS drives will not work with a SATA connector. It is not a SATA drive. I wish Newegg would remove 1 star reviews from people who clearly gave poor ratings because of their mistake…

Pros: SAS drives are fast for hard drives. These have a good reputation as long as you avoid bad batches (alas we don’t know which ones those are in advance). Cons: Don’t buy this if you don’t know what “SAS” refers to. There will be a good chance an adapter cable will work for you, but there will be a good chance you’ll need to return it. It is neither the seller’s fault nor a failure of the hardware for you to purchase the wrong thing. It is important to check the hardware. Many tools for…
