About this product
The Seagate BarraCuda ST8000DM004 is an 8TB internal HDD, featuring a 3.5-inch form factor suitable for internal desktop drive applications. It connects via a SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III) interface and includes a 256MB cache. Operating at a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, this drive offers hot plug support. With its 8TB capacity, it's designed for general PC use, providing ample storage for various data needs.
Our take
This Seagate BarraCuda 8TB drive is positioned as a solid, high-capacity option for general PC users. The 8TB capacity is certainly its strongest feature, offering vast space for games, media, or backups. The 256MB cache is also quite good for a drive in this category, helping with burst performance. However, the 5400 RPM rotation speed will mean it won't be the snappiest drive for OS or frequently accessed applications, especially compared to 7200 RPM alternatives. For $159.99, it's a decent value if pure capacity is your primary goal and speed isn't critical.
