About this product
This Seagate ST6000NM0114 is a 6TB 3.5" internal hard drive, designed for PC compatibility. It features a SAS 12Gb/s interface and operates at a 7200 RPM rotation speed with a 128MB cache. This HDD supports 4Kn SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) technology and has a transfer rate of 40 Mbps. It comes in a silver color and includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Our take
This Seagate 6TB SAS drive is built for serious storage needs, particularly in server or workstation environments where the SAS 12Gb/s interface is a distinct advantage for faster data transfer compared to SATA. The 7200 RPM spin speed and 128MB cache are standard for good performance, and the 4Kn SED feature adds a layer of security through hardware encryption. However, the listed 40 Mbps transfer rate seems very low for a 12Gb/s SAS drive and might be a misprint, as that would significantly bottleneck performance. I'd verify that transfer rate before purchase.
