Product overview

Released October 21, 2021, as part of Seagate’s FireCuda 3.5-inch desktop HDD line, the 4TB ST4000DX005 pairs a SATA 6Gb/s interface with 7200‑RPM platters and a 256MB cache. It uses CMR recording and is specified for up to ~256 MB/s sustained transfers and a 300 TB/year workload, backed by a 5‑year limited warranty and 3‑year Rescue Data Recovery Services.

Positioned in the budget tier for storage, it exists to deliver large, affordable capacity as a secondary drive. It’s well‑suited for mass storage and a roomy game library in a desktop or DAS where capacity and longevity matter more than SSD‑class speed. Not discontinued as of 2026. Unique: CMR recording (not SMR).
