Interesting. The ST3000DM001 is a fairly recent drive, but they do change rather frequently. However, it is still shown on the Seagate Barracuda Spec sheet, which would not be the case for a discontinued drive. It does not mean that this distributor is not discontinuing the drive, however.
Please note on the spec sheet, the ST3000DM001 is shown as drive only (this is an OEM drive) and comes packaged only in the anti-static bag. The STBD3000100 is shown as kit, which means it is a boxed retail drive. These used to come with SATA cable, Molex to SATA power conversion plug, screws plastic SeaShell protective case. Today I think they only include the screws and protective case.
