ZA3840CV1A002 Seagate Barracuda 3.84TB SATA 2.5" Consumer SSD

High-Capacity 2.5-inch SATA SSD for legacy platform refresh and OS acceleration with the ZA3840CV1A002

The ZA3840CV1A002 is a 3.84TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD designed for environments where the storage controller and host platform remain SATA-bound, making it a practical upgrade path for desktop, laptop, and older rack systems. By targeting SATA’s queue and link characteristics rather than PCIe-centric designs, the ZA3840CV1A002 aligns with fleets that require consistent boot and application responsiveness without changing backplanes or HBAs.

Within a SATA 6Gb/s architecture, the ZA3840CV1A002 delivers up to 540MB/s sequential read and 510MB/s sequential write to reduce OS load times and accelerate read-heavy content access. Its flash management is tuned for light-to-moderate write profiles with 0.285 DWPD over 3 years (1200TBW), while a 1.8 million hour MTBF supports enterprise-style availability expectations in distributed endpoint and edge deployments. With low power draw at 250mW idle and 1.4W active, the ZA3840CV1A002 is well suited for dense systems where thermals and PSU headroom are constrained.

Why Choose the ZA3840CV1A002?

The ZA3840CV1A002 provides a balanced density-to-cost profile for SATA estates, consolidating capacity while improving latency versus HDDs and aging SSDs. It scales cleanly across standardized 2.5-inch bays, enabling repeatable rollouts in refurbishment programs, OS-drive standardization, and read-biased storage tiers where predictable endurance and service continuity are required.

Seagate engineering emphasizes long-life NAND management, controlled power behavior, and consistent qualification for broad platform compatibility, supporting modern data centre and enterprise client standards where mixed-vendor SATA interoperability and lifecycle planning matter.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS drives for SATA systems
• Read-heavy application storage
• Media libraries and content caches
• Legacy platform SSD upgrades
