Seagate ST1000DM003 and Pro4

[polityk]

Hello Guys,

I'm already owner of Pro4. Has anyone experience with Seagate 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA/600 hard drive, 64MB cache. I mean ST1000DM003.

Should it works? It is not on HCL, but maybe someone just try that one?

On HCL there is similar HD Seagate 1TB 7200.12 but it has just 32 MB cache instead of 64MB. I got this in same price.

Thanks for reply.

My three of the 32 MB cache ones appear to work OK in a Pro 6, along with three surviviving predecessors, the discontinued ST31000333AS. The other three of the latter only went ~3 years before dying (too many SMART errors). The new ones run cooler, use less startup power, and have a 5 year warranty; the older ones had a 3 year warranty. But it is maybe too early to tell how well they will hold up. The Constellations are better, but cost 2x as much.

I use exactly one of those in a Duo. Haven't had it for very long, but it works without any problems at all so far.

bvaandr - if you are talking about the ST1000DM003 drives, they only have a 1 year warranty and are not on the HCL for the Pro. (Only on the HCL for the NVX, NV+ v2 and Duo v2).
