ST1000LM049 – 1TB Seagate FireCuda 2.5-Inch SSHD for Gaming Laptops and Performance PCs
SKU: 3655
The Seagate FireCuda ST1000LM049 is a 1TB 2.5-inch solid state hybrid drive combining a 5400 RPM spindle with 8GB of MLC NAND flash managed by self-learning firmware. For procurement teams, it is a dependable boot-drive SKU for gaming laptop builds, slim workstation deployments, and performance refurbishment lines where the cost-per-gigabyte of a full SSD is not justified. Channel buyers should note that the hybrid cache delivers its performance uplift only after the firmware has learned frequently accessed data, so mixed or highly random workloads will behave closer to a conventional HDD.

Sourcing & Channel Information
Stock is held in regular replenishment cycles, allowing resellers to schedule repeat orders against pipeline demand. Larger allocations can be reserved against a confirmed purchase order; contact us for current stock positions and incoming shipment dates.
Batch consistency is verified before dispatch: firmware revisions are recorded per lot, and mixed-revision shipments can be avoided on request. Units are supplied in original sealed Seagate packaging, suitable for direct retail resale or integration lines.
Warranty and RMA handling is managed through our B2B channel desk with a defined replacement window, minimizing downtime for system integrators running production schedules. Full traceability by lot number is available for corporate procurement audits.
All units ship with CE, FCC, and RoHS declarations of conformity, supporting export documentation requirements across major destination markets. Lead times for stock items are typically short; allocated or bulk container quantities are quoted with a confirmed ship date at order acceptance.
The ST1000LM049 occupies the value tier between conventional 5400 RPM laptop drives and SATA SSDs, making it a practical line-item for refurbishers and OEM builders balancing capacity, cost, and perceived system responsiveness. With no driver dependency — caching is handled entirely by onboard firmware — it integrates cleanly into high-volume imaging and deployment workflows.
Resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams can request a wholesale quote to receive current pricing, stock availability, and allocation terms.
