i have more storage for memes than i could ever want
i have purchase three of these fine metal enclosures of the 3.5 inch variety. i am not a fancy man and i just use them as a standard HDD in a windowed environment. read and write speeds are fine, probably the second 3.5 inches i have seen do things that fast.they do have that thing that i cant remember the name of that makes some read and write functions slower, but for standard every day meme use the work fine for watching sanic movies at 4k whilst colour grading sanic memes and listening to kpop. not so good for pp scratching though.

I bought the HDD thinking it would be “cheap” and not amazing quality, but I was very surprised to see that the installation was smooth and the speed that it runs is really great to pair with other types of storage alternatives. I would most definitely recommend this HDD to anyone looking to add more storage on a tight budget.

Original purchase of 2 drives showed one DOA & one with quickly growing bad sectors. This one was supplied after return of DOA. Working well (no bad sectors) after 48h. Other 8T drive had >800 bad sectors (growing at ~20 per day). Just returned second drive & ordered replacement.

Return process was painless & flawless. Value credited to Amazon account same day & replacement ordered with refund. Makes me feel really comfortable buying from Amazon.

I'm most likely Seagate bias but there is a reason and it is that they always deliver a good quality drive with very respectable prices. I haven't had either of my drive fail on me and my pc is on most of the day.
I replaced 4 x 1 TB Seagate HDD's that were 7 years old and still functional for 2 of these 4TBs.

Comprei ele para espelhar meu HD de 4TB nesse de 8TB, sem defeito, já fiz os testes e ele se saiu super bem.

Nota pro vendedor: Só uma coisa que pode melhorar é a embalagem, colocar um isopor ao redor dele garante maior segurança pro hd, e evita inconveniente pro vendedor e consumidor, de resto, tudo ok!

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: Barracuda ProVerified 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.

I recently bought this Hard Drive from Amazon and have only just started using it. Installation was a breeze and the price fit my budget well. It's a little slower than a SS drive but it seems to work like a champ.
