About this product
The NEW Seagate Exos 7E8 8TB (ST8000NM000A) is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for enterprise-level performance and capacity. It offers a substantial 8TB storage with a fast 7200 RPM rotation speed and a 256MB cache. Compatible with PC and Memory Vault, it features a versatile SATA interface (SATA I, II, III). Key features include Cloud Storage, Hot Plug Support, Hot Swap, and an In-Built Media Server, making it a robust solution for demanding environments.
Our take
The Seagate Exos 7E8 8TB drive is clearly built for serious workloads, evidenced by its enterprise-grade features. The 8TB capacity is excellent for large-scale storage, and the 7200 RPM rotation speed coupled with a 256MB cache means it's designed for quick data access and throughput. Features like Hot Plug, Hot Swap, and Cloud Storage support are all strong advantages for server or NAS environments. However, at $300, it's a significant investment, reflecting its higher performance and reliability design compared to consumer drives. The 500MB/s read speed is also a solid performer.
