Seagate ST14000NM001J

Overview

The Seagate ST14000NM001J is a 14 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for enterprise storage solutions that require high capacity and reliable performance. It operates at 7200 RPM and connects via a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, making it compatible with standard server and NAS backplanes. This drive is well suited for environments such as data centers, cloud storage nodes, and large-scale archival systems where sustained throughput and data security are critical.

Key features

• Large 14 TB capacity supports extensive datasets and archival storage needs without frequent drive swaps.
• 7200 RPM spindle speed enables faster access to files and reduces wait times during data retrieval.
• SATA 6 Gb/s interface ensures broad compatibility with existing server and NAS hardware, simplifying integration.
• 256 MB cache maintains consistent performance during heavy workloads and large file transfers.
• Conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology provides stable and predictable write performance, ideal for RAID and parity-based storage arrays.
• Helium-sealed design reduces internal friction and power consumption, allowing for cooler operation and higher drive density in racks.
• Seagate Secure hardware encryption protects sensitive data at rest, enhancing security for enterprise deployments.
• 5-year limited warranty offers long-term reliability assurance for critical storage infrastructure.

Connectivity and compatibility

This hard drive uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, which is widely supported by most server backplanes, NAS enclosures, and JBOD systems. Its standard 3.5-inch form factor fits into common drive bays without requiring special adapters or cables, making it straightforward to upgrade or expand existing storage arrays.

Performance and reliability

The combination of a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a large 256 MB cache helps maintain steady data throughput during demanding tasks such as backups, analytics, and large file transfers. The helium-sealed design reduces heat and vibration, which contributes to longer drive life and stable operation in dense storage environments. Hardware encryption safeguards data integrity and privacy, meeting enterprise security requirements.

Ideal uses and environments

This drive is a strong choice for IT administrators managing private clouds, video surveillance archives, or compliance-focused cold storage tiers. Its capacity and performance balance make it suitable for workloads that require both large storage volumes and consistent access speeds. The drive’s design supports dense rack configurations, helping data centers optimize space and power efficiency.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
