  • Fast Downloads and Plenty of Storage for Modern Games!
Style: BarraCuda Capacity: 2TB
I’ve been using this Seagate BarraCuda for over 3 years, and it’s still the drive with the highest storage capacity in my computer. I’ve installed heavy games like Call of Duty, FC 25, MK, and many others, and they all run very well. I haven’t had any technical issues with it, and it has definitely served its purpose. For an internal drive (and not an SSD), downloads are surprisingly quick, and performance has been solid. Installation is also very easy. If you’re willing to spend about $20 more, the 4TB version is an even better deal, but if 2TB is all you need, the price for this model is totally reasonable. I have no complaints about this drive, highly recommended! ... show more

  • Perfect for combining multiple hard drives of data.
Style: BarraCuda Capacity: 8TB
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

  • Great Drive For My Directv DVR
Style: BarraCuda Capacity: 2TB
Excellent external Drive for my Directv DVR. Added to a Esata enclosure for my Directv DVR’s. It boots up faster than the one that comes with the Directv DVR’s. If you want to add an external HDD for Directv I would suggest the barracuda!!! Their great fast drives for a great price and they last!!!! The price is awesome so I can buy two and clone the Directv HDD’s to have a backup every few months. They clone fast because their 7200rpms. I would suggest having a backup if using it on a Directv DVR because of eventually it will go bad because of the many read and writes for Directv video programming. You want to have a backup of shows because after years of storing and watching movies you won’t have to start from scratch to download your favorite movies and shows you keep. That’s just me. I like keeping all my favorite movies on the DVR so I can always watch them. I also take my DvR when I go on the road in my RV. That is my opinion. ... show more

  • May not be as fast as expected but has capacity!
Style: BarraCuda Capacity: 8TB
I ordered 2 of these 8TB drives. In Crystal Disk Mark one drive only has half the speed of the other and Steam didn’t seem to like the drive because it acted very slow with it. Steam works perfectly on the other drive. Now I only left one star off because I can still use the other drive for media storage as I don’t seem to notice the issue when in use in this manner. The problem drive is slower but not a big problem when it comes to photo, video and music storage! I think it somehow got passed QC as probably a mistake. Running a smart test does not show an issue and other test show that it is a good drive but just a little slower. Now the good one is awesome. I use a 1TB NVME PCIE gen 5 drive as cache for it and the damn thing just works. I didn’t buy it for speed but I did buy it for capacity and it has all I need. This is why I have a dedicated cache drive for it. Now it’s like I have an 8TB drive running at PCIE gen 4 speeds. Awesome if you ask me! ... show more

  • Reliable, Quiet, Mass Backup Storage
Style: BarraCuda Capacity: 4TB
I'm using this 4TB BarraCuda drive purely as my backup storage/archive, and it performs exactly as needed. The 5400 RPM speed isn't blazing fast, but it's perfect for bulk storage where reliability matters more than speed. It runs quietly inside my PC case and offers a huge amount of space for photos, videos, and system images. It was easy to install and hasn't given me any issues. Great value for reliable, high-capacity, secondary storage. ... show more
