      Style: HDD - 3.5 InchCapacity: 8TBColor: 3.5 InchVerified Purchase
      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.

      Pugged this into my desktop computer as an internal drive. With the fairly slow rotation speed, it's quiet and low power. The access latency might be on the slow side, but that doesn't really matter for videos and images, which is how I use it. High density means the bits pass under the read/write head quickly even at a "slow" 5400 RPM, and so the throughput is fast.

      I installed this drive on my Dell Inspiron 3030 desktop pc. There is an image inside of the front cover which shows how and where to install the drive inside the pc. The screws needed for install are #6-32 x 1/4. I could only find them online in packages of 50 and 100. I wish that they were included with the drive or the pc, but they were not. I then discovered that you can find small packs of #6-32 x 3/8 screws with nuts (14 pcs) at the big box lumber/hardware store. I ran a nut all of the way up to the head of a screw, added a tiny washer, and it worked perfectly. I was pleased to find that the front cover went back in place, no problem. Online videos are available to show how the cables are attached and such. The cables were available inside my pc. The trickiest part for me, and something which little is said about, is that you need to partition and format the drive for the pc to recognize it. You can also get instructions for doing this online and there are free software programs which you can download to help you with this if you want. I have an external hard drive of the same brand which I have used for about 9 years and it still functions perfectly. I bought this brand because I trust it.

      TLDR; This hard drive is amazing for storing huge files and performs well for certain games!

      In depth explanation:
      This hard drive overall performs amazing and I did not face any issues when it arrived. Installation was easy, do mind when purchasing that you will need to acquire SATA and Power cables for it (Ideally they should come with your motherboard or PSU purchase). The hard drive write speed is okay for downloading games on if you have a Gigabit connection. It is maxed out on 250mbps write speed so take note of that if you have fast wifi and would like to write faster then 250mbps. Another test I have performed is loading into video games, specifically talking about Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. This game is known for requiring fast SSD's. The performance of read speed of the hard drive allowed the game to play with minor delays when playing through scenes with heavy world loading required. In other instances such as Hogwarts Legacy, this hard drive performed well when loading in scenes like walking outside from the castle .

      Overall, the hard drive I would suggest to be purchased if you are looking to store heavy files and games that do not crazy loading speeds, I would suggest purchasing this hard drive as a second storage option. I have attached a screen shot in addition to stress the hard hard drive during downloading of the game.

The performance of read speed of the hard drive allowed the game to play with minor delays when playing through scenes with heavy world loading required. In other instances such as Hogwarts Legacy, this hard drive performed well when loading in scenes like walking outside from the castle .

      Overall, the hard drive I would suggest to be purchased if you are looking to store heavy files and games that do not crazy loading speeds, I would suggest purchasing this hard drive as a second storage option. I have attached a screen shot in addition to stress the hard hard drive during downloading of the game.

      Ya lo tengo instalado, va divino
      Aprovechando el Black Friday lo cogí, por ahorrar un poco más cogí uno que estaba como usado y todo perfecto, el embalaje no era original, pero el disco funciona perfecto
