Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0033 4 TB Hard Drive - 3.5 Internal - SATA

I bought two of these for two older Linux systems I have. They're working. It was rather comical though because I'm running AlmaLinux on each of these and both systems pegged the original 2 TB disks as having errors and close to failure. I could believe that because they're probably 14 years old. So I bought the first one, got it installed in the system and reinstalled AlmaLinux. Same deal - it said the disk was ready to fail and now I don't believe it. In fact, looking online, other people are experiencing the same erroneous messages. Guess I should have looked it up online first, but I needed the storage for each of the systems anyway. These disks perform well and are just fine for older systems like I described that don't need super fast performance that you'd get out of an SSD or NVMe.

This product performs fast and very well for older style technology. Provides an economical way to store a lot of data. The drive was recognized immediately by Operating System. Remember that drive needs to be Initialized by your operating system before it can be formatted. Suggest you initialize as GPT drive since this will result in one large 4 TB drive. If you initialize it as MBR, the drive will be split into two partitions of 2 TB each (max size for MBR)

Sometimes you go buy a HDD from Amazon and plug it in and fire up your handy dandy S.M.A.R.T. drive analyzer and notice that the drive has... a lot of hours. NOT THIS ONE! These bad boys are brand new from the factory floor and they only have the testing hour to prove it. I purchased and installed one on my NAS nine months ago and it has run 24/7 since then. No errors, no noise, just good ole' spinning. As with all HDD's I cannot recommend enough that everyone run a S.M.A.R.T. utility at first install to validate the drive age, hours, and surfaces. If it passes S.M.A.R.T. then it's good to go. One final note: unlike miles/kilometers on a car odometer, BRAND NEW HARD DRIVES DO NOT HAVE ZERO HOURS. All manufacturers test their drives for some period of time before they leave the factory. It is 100% normal to have several hundred hours on a brand new drive.

Not what the pic looks like. But it is same model but older which tells me it could be a used drive. I did get one warning from my drivedx monitor stating reloaded sector count. Which could be an issue later on. The drive is working so far as it should. The price was right. Packed professionally

My husband just opened and installed this drive we bought years ago. This is a counterfeit Hard Drive. NOT a real Seagate drive. Verified by the hours not matching on SMART and there is no F.A.R.M. data on this drive.

It has a lot of storage capacity at a great price. Probably best for storing archival data that you don't need to access too frequently. Like all HDD's it is a bit noisy and slow to respond compared to SSD's.

Was a little sus at first, because those were about $2k originally and even now about $500. However drives are 0 hours and brand new, I hooked to a test rig to verify. Good legacy fit. YMMV, may be I chanced a good batch. Cheers!

My drive came with 208 lifetime hours. It could be new, but this is much higher than I would like to see. The larger problem is that the Constellation ES.3 was last revised as of 2016. This likely means that the factory warranty is expired just due to age. It is also not disclosed that these items were sold in bulk and are not retail (see image). NOTE: THESE HAVE NO FACTORY WARRANTY.

Disque pas très rapide

初期不良で返品対応していただきました。

NAS (QNAP TS-451) で本 HDD 4台にて RAID5 を運用しています。 運用開始して 2 年ほどになりますが、全て問題無く動作しています。 故障時の対応の手間などを考えると、多少高価でも十分モトが取れそうです。 5 年保証ということですので、なんとか後 3 年はエラー無しで頑張って欲しいものです。

商品はよいのかもしれませんが、配送時に精密機器指示もなしに加え、箱の中で商品が動き回るような梱包ではどうしようもありません。見事に認識しませんでした。

写真を数万枚保存しているデータ用ローカルHDDの、フォルダアイコン表示にかかる時間が遅いことが気になり 今後も増え続けて行くであろうデータのことも心配で、容量とバッファ・メモリの大きいこちらのHDDに交換。 期待どおり、アクセス・表示速度ともにストレスはなく、少しお高めですが購入して良かったと思っています。 スループットはSATA3.0のHDD間にて、２〜３GB程度のファイルを試したら2100MB/Sくらい出ました（一瞬で転送終了）。 PCメモリをローカルHDDのバッファに使うソフトとフォルダアイコンの表示速度は同じくらいと思います。 （こちらのソフトで試したときはベンチマークで、5500MB/Sくらい表示されてました） シーゲート製品にしては、シーク時の『ガガっ』という音が大き目で、メーカーに対する個人的な印象が少し変わりました。 たまたま、ハズれを引いたのかも知れません・・それを差し引いても性能には満足しています。
