When I decided to upgrade my micro PC, I knew I needed a hard drive that could keep up with my digital ambitions. Enter the Seagate BarraCuda 5TB Internal Hard Drive – a behemoth of storage that promises to turn your mini machine into a data-swallowing shark. First off, let me say, this drive is no lightweight minnow. It's a chunky boy, not suited for the delicate confines of a laptop. Trying to fit it into my micro PC was like trying to squeeze a sumo wrestler into skinny jeans—tight, but ultimately successful! Performance-wise, this drive swims circles around the competition. Speed and reliability are as advertised, making it a true powerhouse. Loading files, booting up, and transferring data feel like a breeze, even when dealing with massive amounts of information. It’s like having a turbo-charged engine in your tiny car. However, be warned, this BarraCuda is strictly for the mini machine crowd. If you attempt to put it in your laptop, you might end up with a device that resembles an overstuffed suitcase. But for micro PCs and other small form factors, it's the perfect catch. In summary, if you need a storage solution that's both speedy and spacious, the Seagate BarraCuda 5TB HDD is a reel-y great choice. Just make sure your device can handle its chonky design, and you'll be riding the waves of data with ease!

An easy install and great value, the drive performs well with short file copies between the Barracuda and an SSD (Hynix). Note it IS 5400 RPM, NOTE IT IS 128 meg CACHE. These are key factors in your drive purchase, performance vs. battery life. I've found it to be especially efficient with file or file selects under 2 GB for copies between the drives on the same laptop system. File copies and backups via a 1 gb network connection work great most of the time, and the read/writes are over 60 meg/sec write via the network to another 7200 RPM drive (WD Blue WZEZ), even 100 meg/sec to a (boot) SSD on the network. Expect the benchmarks to be correct, value at a good performance rate. As stated smaller transfers also have great burst over the 1 gb network, with less than 1.5 Gb copying in under 6-10 seconds. This drive does well on smaller copy transfers than larger files due to its 128 meg cache. It's a great second system and backup drive for an SSD (boot) drive based system, on a laptop or desktop. This isn't a workstation drive unless you work backups (Win 10 File history is FAST, as is Win 7 type backup), in which its value speaks for itself. I'd recommend this drive based on price and performance for all things considered. AS-SSD benchmark is reported as 130 meg/sec read, 120 meg/sec write on 4k transfers. It's consistent with other tested benchmarks for the same drive/model. 5 stars, not to mention I have a successful history with Seagate products! TC

I'm running five of these in my virtual storage pool (Windows Server 2016 storage pool) for my home server, four months so far. One drive developed two bad sectors, a reformat mapped them out. Maybe in another six months I'll trust them as much as the WD Red drives they replaced - until then all my volumes are three-way mirror, and I have offsite backups. Temperatures are low, of course - a main advantage of going to 2.5" drives. And these are pretty much silent. Not the fastest kid on the block - no surprise there. Still, I see less impact from SMR than I expected. It's interesting to note that the external version of this 5TB drive contains the exact same drive. Everything except drive serial number is exactly the same externally, as well as firmware and any other params I could inspect with HD Tune. At the time of writing the price for an external drive is 119 vs 189 for this internal version. Of course, pulling out the drive from the external enclosure voids any warranty, so it's really a question of how much the warranty is worth. Will more than one out of three drives fail during the warranty period? UPDATE 8/17/2018: All five drives have been running well since January. I wiped and reformatted them back then before redeploying. I have a spare drive but am not bothering with hot swap as uptime is not critical for my home server - I can accept a day's downtime if a drive fails hard. These little drives are performing as well as can be expected. Raising to five stars. UPDATE 12/16/2018: It's been a year now for most of my drives. Still running well. One drive has disconnected from my SAS card twice, hard to tell if it's the drive, card or cabling. In the process I got to see how well double redundancy works - the storage pool didn't even flinch, no downtime, no readonly mode, just rebuilt redundancy using free space on other drives while on single redundancy for a few hours. I ejected and reinserted the disconnected drive, and everything was back to normal again (albeit a bit unbalanced free space).

Seagate used to reserve the "Barracuda" label for their higher performance drives. Now they're sticking the Barracuda name on everything and are now calling Barracuda "Pro" drives for once was a standard Barracuda performance HDD. So I thought I was getting a higher performance drive since it had the Barracuda name on it and was willing to pay more for that. However, what I come to find out is that this Barracuda HDD is nothing special over their external USB 3.0 "OneTouch" or "Backup Plus" portable HDDs. The price on this 2.5in 5TB internal Barracuda HDD is currently $135-150. You can purchase a Seagate 5TB USB 3.0 portable OneTouch HDD for $100. Now here's where it gets interesting. If you crack open the case of Seagate's external portable "OneTouch" HDD, you will come to find out it's the exact same model Barracuda 5400 RPM 128MB cache 2.5in HDD as this internal 2.5in Barracuda HDD but costs much less. However, opening up the case of their portable HDDs would void the warranty, but this particular listing doesn't have a manufacturer warranty so what do you have to lose? Purchase their portable "OneTouch" 5TB HDD for $40-$50 less, crack open the case and remove the HDD if you need an internal HDD. The portable version is this exact same Barracuda model HDD, with a SATA 3 interface and plugged into a SATA3 to USB interface, and they give you a good quality USB cable and HDD carrying case to boot. When I found out this Barracuda drive had no additional performance gains, and no manufacturer warranty as I verified on Seagate's website, I returned it and purchased their portable HDD and cracked open the case. Now I not only have the exact same HDD which cost significantly less, I also gained an extra USB 3.0 HDD enclosure case and a nice quality included USB cable. Take that bad Seagate marketing!

My neighbor's laptop stopped working because the hard drive got bad sectors and that stopped windows from booting I was still able to get some data off of it like pictures and stuff like that. This drive is much quicker than the original and the system runs great with it however for the technically minded I noticed that the performance when copying a large file from one part of the drive to the other part of the drive was very very slow it starts out fast but after about 15 seconds slows down to a speed up like 20 megabytes a second or less this won't matter to most people unless you need to move large files on and off your laptop but for regular desktop performance the cache on the hard drive makes things speed up except for really large files where the cash runs empty and things really slow down. Also, I'm really glad I bought this and not an SSD drive which I thought about because SSD drives can start to corrupt files are silent so you don't hear any noises or Warnings that the drives are getting ready to fail they work great one day and the next day they're Stone dead and I feel like the performance of this is good enough to create a nice desktop experience in Windows well it would be great to have the extra speed I am not willing to sacrifice reliability or a sudden failure out of nowhere that leaves all of the data inaccessible even the old drive that failed which I was replacing I could still read a lot of stuff off the drive after Windows ran a Check Disk scan. With an SSD it's it's super fast and everything's great one day and it's game over the next day with no warning also if you do get warnings and you run some repair operations are you willing to trust that drive with your data or you going to back it up every single day which is a waste of time and something no one's going to do.

This Review Is Specifically For The: "Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM048)" It's Fast For A 5400 RPM Drive But I Think It Only Works With USB 3.0 Or Above Cables... I Have 2 USB 2.0 And An Enclosure And It Won't Work At All With Them.... Fortunately, I Also Bought A StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable At The Same Time And It Works With It Just Fine.... It Also Works Great Installed In My Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop (It's Ultimate Purpose Of Course).... NOW - Keep In Mind ALL Hard Drives/ Disk Drives Can Fail... AND If They're Going To Fail, They Usually Fail Within The First 6 - 9 Months Of Regular Use... SO - Back Up Everything For The First Year Or So On ALL New Drives.... (Actually, You Should Be Doing That Anyway All The Time...) If The Drive Lasts Longer Than 9 Months To A Year, It's A Good Chance The Drive Is Fine And Will Last The Normal Mean Time Between Failures Of Something Like 800,000 Hours Or So... BUT Keep In Mind, Anything Can Happen.... ALSO NOTE - THE DRIVE COMES BLANK - They All Do As Far As I Know..... I Don't Know If You Need To Format It Because The Recovery Thumb Drive Did All That Good Stuff For Me Automatically.... I Installed It In My Laptop And Inserted The USB Thumb Drive Recovery Thingy I Made Following Toshiba's Instructions... It Took A While But Not Too Long (Naturally, We're Talking Like 13GB Here For Windows 7 From A USB 2.0 Thumb Drive...) And I'm Back To "Out Of The Box" New Again, Except With A Ridiculously Large Drive....LOL Old Drives A 300GB.... I Don't Know About Warranties Or Fakes Like Some Reviews Are Talking About, But Mine Has A Green Label And Came Sealed In A New Looking Anti-static Pouch...
