  • Perfect for combining multiple hard drives of data.
Style: HDD - 3.5 Inch Capacity: 8TB Color: 3.5 Inch
The Seagate ST8000DM008 BarraCuda 8TB is a standard 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for mass storage needs in desktop computers. In this unbiased review, we will assess its various aspects to provide a comprehensive overview. **Storage Capacity (4/5):** With a whopping 8TB of storage space, the BarraCuda offers an abundance of room to store your files, games, and media. It's an excellent choice for users who require extensive storage for large media libraries, backups, or extensive data. **Performance (3/5):** The BarraCuda 8TB is primarily designed for storage purposes, so it's not as fast as SSDs or high-performance hard drives. It operates at 5400 RPM, which is a bit slower compared to 7200 RPM drives. While it provides decent performance for sequential data transfers, it may not be the best choice for tasks that demand quick access times or frequent data retrieval. **Reliability (4/5):** Seagate, as a well-established manufacturer, has a history of producing reliable storage devices. The BarraCuda series is known for its durability and dependability. However, like all mechanical hard drives, it is subject to wear and tear over time, and there is always a risk of failure. It's advisable to have proper backups in place when using any mechanical drive for important data. **Noise Levels (3.5/5):** The BarraCuda 8TB is relatively quiet during regular operation but can produce some noise, especially when accessing data. This may not be an issue in a desktop setup but could be noticeable in a quiet environment. **Installation (4/5):** Installing the BarraCuda is a straightforward process. It utilizes the standard 3.5-inch form factor, making it compatible with most desktop systems. Users with basic knowledge of PC hardware should have no trouble fitting it into their setup. **Value (3.5/5):** In terms of cost per gigabyte, the BarraCuda 8TB offers a reasonably good value, especially for users who require a large amount of storage space. However, it's important to remember that the price of SSDs has been steadily decreasing, and if you value performance and responsiveness, you might consider investing in a smaller SSD for your primary storage and supplementing it with a secondary HDD like the BarraCuda for mass storage. **Conclusion:** The Seagate ST8000DM008 BarraCuda 8TB is a capacious internal hard drive, well-suited for users with substantial storage needs, such as media enthusiasts, content creators, or those who require extensive backups. It offers reliability, straightforward installation, and decent value in terms of storage capacity. However, it is not the fastest drive on the market, and its performance may not meet the expectations of users who prioritize speed and responsiveness. Consider your specific storage requirements and performance expectations before deciding if the BarraCuda 8TB is the right choice for your computing needs. ... show more

  • Well priced and works great
Style: HDD - 3.5 Inch Capacity: 4TB Color: 3.5 Inch
Very easy to install in my hard drive reader and performs very well. It reads reasonably fast for a hard drive and so far have not had any problems with data loss of corruption. I use it for gaming as a way to store large game files and it has been a life saver in freeing up space in my laptop. Nothing really to say on the appearance, I mean… it looks like a hard drive. ... show more

  • Failed in less that 2 years
Style: HDD - 3.5 Inch Capacity: 8TB Color: 3.5 Inch
Got this drive January 2023 worked fine without any issues until a few days ago. Booted up PC went to open a pinned folder that was on the drive and BAM path not found. Tried everything i know to do to with the tools i have and no luck getting it going or getting any data off. I've used these drives for years without any issues so I purchased another hoping the other was just a fluke. I did decided after I ordered the replacement to start using a RAID setup. Have to wait until after Christmas to order a second drive and a decent enclosure. Will attempt to update after a few months to give any findings. ... show more

  • Entry level, just as advertised
Style: HDD - 3.5 Inch Capacity: 6TB Color: 3.5 Inch
I own two of these drives. First drive was- relatively- difficult to install for me. I've owned or worked on a number of drives that are larger than 3tb and in Windows 10 at least, never ran in to the issue I had; drives can format in GPT or MBR and for some reason, both of mine decided they would detect as MBR instead of GPT (again, Windows has always known to use GPT in the past) which had me scratching my head until I learned that if you have a drive larger than 3tb, the system has to be told to use MBR instead of GPT. Again this was never anything I had to deal with before despite using drives larger than 3tb in the past. I suspect that Amazon and Seagate have probably had to deal with returns over this I'm not sure what mechanism my other drives have used to prevent this but both my 6tb drives required that tweak. With that out of the way- even though the listing says "NEW" and my invoice/order details said new, I did end up getting a drive that was opened on my second order... and Amazon did the fulfilment too! Fortunately Amazon very quickly accepted a return and got me a new drive that had never been opened. The drives are pretty quiet, but that sort of comes at a price- they are pretty slow. I do not think you'll be able to beat the price though, the value is there, the quietness is there, I can live with the slow speed. I will try and update my review later, if I have any issues. Update: Even though it's only been a day since I wrote this review... this drive is SLOW. I maintain my position that this is still a 4 star product given the absurd per dollar storage, but, speed might be a consideration for you. As I had stated before, I have two of these drives purchased within a few weeks of each other. One was used to create a backup of all my older drives, and one is being used to replace all my older drives, then the first would be wiped and then used as a backup for the second. This means that I ended up having to do a few 4 tb (the sum of the data in my previous drives) writes. It took about 18 hours each time. Last night I did a virus scan- and system scans typically took about 4 hours with my previous drives. Last night- 7 hours. The total sum of the data that had to be read remained functionally the same- probably within 10 gb. I want to note too that- I shut down my computer for a few hours using start menu -> shut down, and when I booted this morning the newer of the two drives had an error that Windows had to fix during booting. I ended up spending about an hour on the computer doing normal tasks and then decided to see if the issue could be replicated. On a second boot, I did not get the error again. Can't imagine what I could have done to cause it though. The virus scan didn't claim it found anything so I do not believe it altered any files and it came from a cold boot after about 3 hours so I do not think heat was an issue- heat also probably not an issue because I have a mesh front case (Corsair 450D) with a pair of 140mm fans that push fresh air across drives in a room that is about 72 degrees. I hope that this information helps you make your decision. Again, I still maintain that this is an adequate value for the $140 spent on each drive- though I am certain you could get a better drive I doubt you could get one at this price point. ... show more

Works like a charm! It is used as a permanent storage for my processed files and it's just the right size for my original photo files accumulated over the years. I have old files transferred there from my old HDD and still have plenty of free space for new ones. It was a breeze to make them work on my desktop PC. ... show more
