Random write performance actually dropped a bit compared to the older Barracuda XT. It's still higher than the Green drive, but it looks like Seagate has tweaked the drive's firmware a bit resulting in lower random write performance. a b Ferreira, Bruno.

Buyers looking for lower power consumption will really enjoy the lower platter count of the latest 3TB Barracuda. By offering a 1TB x 3 platter configuration instead of 600GB x 5 of the model it replaces, there is less mass to spin around which translates into lower operating needs. Seagate lists an 8 watt operating and 5.4 watt idle requirement that is lower than the original and very close to what we measured in our lab.

When it comes to data recovery one of the most common problems Seagate ST3000DM001 Hard Disk Drive experience is burnt circuit board(PCB). So if you will need to match a replacement PCB, it is important that you note the “ Board Number” of your current circuit board in addition to the hard drive’s “ Model Number“. Read speeds increased by 0.04MB/s or 10 IOPS, with write speeds improving from 0.11MB/s or 26 IOPS from the previous 3TB XT. Despite the sequential performance advantage, PCMark 7 showed the new Barracuda on-par with the Barracuda XT:

The last section of our synthetic benchmarks looks at the hard drive in a server or workstation setting in profiles covering Database, File Server, Web Server, and Workstations. Overall the new 3TB Barracuda showed good improvements over the previous generation model, although couldn’t top the Western Digital 2TB models. Even the inner platter speeds were impressive, staying just under 100MB/s. For bulk file transfers this newer drive will work wonders in single or dual-bay NASs to saturate gigabit LAN. If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Firmware for legacy products will be the final release from manufacturing. Please note that Seagate does not offer details about specific firmware.

Surprisingly the newer 3TB model didn’t fare well in our Gaming trace, falling slightly behind the group with an averaging speed of 37.29MB/s compared to 41.60MB/s of the previous model.

Final Words

Seagate is the first to commercialize 1TB hard drive platters. While consumers may pine for 5TB drives based on the innovative platter, macro and practical issues have Seagate trying it out in the 3-platter Barracuda first. Conceptually though, it’s not that far-fetched to start to think about the applications we’ll likely see over the next several quarters. Seagate offers a 4TB hard drive through their branded products division, the 4TB GoFlex Desk has a five 800GB platter Barracuda hard drive inside. Swapping those out for 1TB platters is the next logical step in jumbo hard drive capacity…and a welcome option for NAS users and others who are limited by the number of terabytes they can get per drive bay.

The front of the keeps the same SATA power/data interface as the previous models, as well as the 4 pin jumper area. Dealing with the drive in hand though, the 3TB Barracuda has a good deal going for it. Aside from the new platters, users are getting 7,200 RPM spindle speed, 64MB cache and several Seagate technologies like OptiCache, which makes the cache process more efficient, SmartAlign which helps legacy computers play nice with 4K sectors and DiscWizard which allows operating systems like Windows XP to take advantage of the full 3TB capacity. The complaint notes that Seagate's ST3000DM001 was the first 3TB drive to use three platters at 1TB each. This is in contrast to other 3TB drives then on the market, which used 4-5 platters to hit their 3TB densities.

The new 3TB Barracuda reports itself as a 512-logical, 4096-byte physical drive to the operating system. This is optimal for operating systems that can correctly work with newer 4K-drives, instead of forcing a legacy 512-byte physical size through emulation.

The new 3TB Barracuda is a bit faster in sequential performance than the old Barracuda XT, at lower power consumption. In typical desktop workloads I think it's fairly safe to say that you wouldn't notice the difference between the Barracuda and Barracuda XT.

One of the more telling aspects of any newer hard drive is looking at its performance at the inner and outer edges of the platters. As drive density increases or rotational speeds get faster, users can generally expect data transfer speeds to increase as well. In the case of the new 3TB Barracuda , we found peak transfer speeds measuring just under 200MB/s compared to under 150MB/s of the previous generation model. One of Seagate’s recently popular hard drive models—at the consumer and enterprise level—is the ST3000DM001 3TB hard drive. It seems that many users in different usage realms—desktop environments as well as server environments—have reported problems with the drives failing faster than expected causing data loss and overall servicing headaches. In our 4K HTPC trace the 3TB Seagate Barracuda performed extremely well, averaging 83MB/s over the course of the test compared to just 74MB/s from the previous generation model. With the circuit board removed we find no vibration dampening layer of foam that was present in earlier models, although we do find a thermal pad attached to the drive controller. This helps draw heat away from the chip and into the body of the hard drive, acting as one large heatsink.

It's hard to measure how much financial impact the disaster had on IBM, since it happened synonymously with the first dot-com crash, but the endless stream of uncertainty and overall negative PR did the company no favors. In the end, IBM sold its HDD line to Hitachi. Overall, the new 3TB Barracuda moves in the right direction and certainly whets our appetite for upcoming higher capacity hard drives based on 1TB platters. It offers faster speeds than the prior version through most of our benchmarks and is many ways is the fastest 7200RPM 3TB 3.5″ hard drive on the market. Couple that with the improved power profile and Seagate has a great option for those craving capacity and performance from a hard drive. Random write performance goes up by almost 20% when you compare the Barracuda XT to the Barracuda Green. Performance in this test is mostly governed by spindle speed (and firmware), so it makes Seagate's case perfectly.
