About this product
The Seagate ST31000640SS Barracuda ES 2 is a 1TB internal desktop hard drive. It utilizes a SAS interface for connectivity and spins at 7200 RPM, offering a good balance of speed and capacity for its generation. This 3.5-inch form factor drive includes a 16MB cache to enhance performance, making it suitable for desktop PC applications where reliable storage is needed.
Our take
For a 1TB internal drive, this Seagate Barracuda ES 2 offers a decent blend of speed and capacity. The 7200 RPM rotation speed, combined with a 16MB cache, should provide competent performance for general desktop use or as a secondary storage drive. The SAS interface is a bit of a niche, meaning you'll need a compatible controller, which isn't standard on most consumer motherboards. However, if your system supports SAS, it can offer robust connectivity. At its price point, it's a cost-effective way to add a terabyte of spinning storage, assuming your setup is SAS-ready.
