About this product
The Seagate ST5000LM000 Barracuda is a 5TB 2.5-inch internal laptop hard drive. It features a SATA III interface and a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, coupled with a 128MB cache. This high-capacity drive is compatible with laptops, Macs, and PCs, offering a significant storage upgrade for portable devices, despite its 15mm height.
Our take
For laptop users desperate for more storage, this Seagate Barracuda 5TB 2.5-inch drive is a game-changer in terms of capacity. Getting 5TB in a laptop form factor is impressive, and the SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility. The 5400 RPM speed is typical for laptop drives, balancing capacity and power efficiency, but it won't be as snappy as an SSD. The 128MB cache is a good size for buffering frequently accessed data. The main thing to watch out for is its 15mm height; many thinner laptops are designed for 7mm or 9.5mm drives, so make sure your laptop has enough clearance before purchasing.
