About this product
The Seagate ST8000AS0002 is an 8TB internal hard drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, designed for storage applications. It features a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, a 128MB cache, and a rotation speed of 5900 RPM. This HDD model, part of the Archive HDD series, includes Acutrac and Power Choice Technologies. It comes with a 30-day manufacturer warranty.
Our take
This Seagate 8TB Archive HDD is clearly designed for high-capacity storage, focusing on archival rather than high-performance tasks. The 5900 RPM rotation speed, while lower than traditional desktop drives, is typical for archive-oriented hard drives, prioritizing power efficiency and capacity. The 128MB cache is adequate for its intended use with large files. However, the 30-day manufacturer warranty is quite short for a modern hard drive, especially one intended for potentially long-term data storage. Keep that limited warranty in mind.
