Seagate ST340215A

Overview

The Seagate ST340215A is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed to provide reliable storage with a 40 GB capacity. It connects through an ATA-100 interface, allowing data transfer speeds up to 100 MBps, which suits everyday desktop computing needs where steady performance is important. With a spindle speed of 7200 RPM and an average seek time of 11 milliseconds, this drive balances speed and responsiveness for typical file access and storage tasks.

This hard drive includes a 2 MB buffer to help smooth out data flow, and it uses Perpendicular Recording technology to optimize data density on the platters. It also features S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics, which help monitor the drive’s health and can alert users to potential issues before they become critical. The SoftSonic motor design reduces noise, making it a quieter option for home or office environments.

Built to withstand everyday use, the ST340215A can tolerate shocks up to 63 g during operation and handle vibrations up to 0.5 g, which adds to its durability in standard desktop setups. It is RoHS compliant, reflecting adherence to environmental standards, and comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty for added peace of mind. This drive is a practical choice for users looking to upgrade or replace storage in older desktop systems or for those who need a straightforward, dependable hard drive for general computing tasks.

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.
