Review: Small SSD - Best performance for gaming & multimedia (HDMI video). Review: PARFAIT, merci - Il y a 2 ans 1/5, j'avais acheté les mêmes mais en 6To, 1 est tombé en panne (pour un produit "pro", ça la fout mal), en espérant que ceux-ci seront beaucoup plus fiables. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07H289S7C | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,823 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #67 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Seagate 8TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000DMZ04) | | Brand | Seagate | | Brand Name | Seagate | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 256 | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 10,288 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 190 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 8 TB | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00763649129548 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5400 RPM | | Hard Disk Type | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard-Drive Size | 8 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Type Name | Seagate BarraCuda Internal Hard Drive 8TB SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch - Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) | | Item Weight | 1.45 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Seagate Bare Drives | | Manufacturer Part Number | ST8000DMZ04 | | Model Name | ST8000DM004 | | Model Number | ST8000DM004/ST800DMZ04 | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 190 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | UPC | 763649129548 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seagate - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** eSATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 240 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Hard Drive - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Multitasking ## Images ![Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Frustration-Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51p0iAbDNmL.jpg) ![Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Frustration-Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BUbJ+bWGL.jpg) ![Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Frustration-Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ov1S1UgDL.jpg) ![Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Frustration-Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jc2cgnmXL.jpg) ![Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Frustration-Free Packaging (ST8000DM004) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812-MhDci0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this 7200 or 5400rpm?** A: Only the 1 TB (#ST1000DM010) and 2 TB (#ST2000DM008) models are 7200, all the larger models are 5400. Both the llisted speed and model number change in the product description as you pick different disk size options. This is consistent with Seagate's website -- From the home page, drill down through (or search for) Internal / Hard Drives / BarraCuda - Learn More, and then click the 3.5 inch models tab (NOT the 3.5 inch PRO models tab). Then click on the data sheet next to any model to get a PDF with a table containing all of the models along with their drive speeds and other specs.. **Q: Is a sata cable included in the package?** A: Cables not included. You can buy a SATA data cable and likely the appropriate power cable for your computer right here on Amazon. Depending on your power supply, the power cable may already be connected to it in your computer -- some have that and some do not. **Q: Is this really 7200rpm? the model number suggests otherwise.** A: Only the 1TB and 2TB HDDs in this series are 7200RPM. The higher capacity drives are 5400RPM and only intended as data drives. When using the 5400RPM drives you should have a separate drive that is either a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD for the operating system/as the boot drive. 5400RPM drives will boot a computer but will be noticeably slower than a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD. If your computer is new enough, an NVMe drive would be the best option. Otherwise, a SATA SSD would be the next best option. All three are available right here on Amazon. **Q: Is the 2tb (st2000dm008) internal hard drive cmr or smr?** A: I can't speak to SMR vs. CMR but since I see someone said this is unsuitable as a boot drive I will note that I have used this as the boot drive with a dual Windows 10-Xubuntu 20.04 OS install and it has worked fine. I personally think the load/unload cycle count is set way too liberally, it unloads way too quickly IMO but that is easy enough to deal with and even if it isn't dealt with the drive has about 3-5 years of load/unload cycles built into it and that is worst case where the computer is on constantly (my use case). Of course if you use it as a data only drive and use an SSD or M.2 for a boot drive this is a moot point as the drive is not accessed regularly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small SSD *by A***A on 19 May 2022* Best performance for gaming & multimedia (HDMI video). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PARFAIT, merci *by C***6 on 20 April 2020* Il y a 2 ans 1/5, j'avais acheté les mêmes mais en 6To, 1 est tombé en panne (pour un produit "pro", ça la fout mal), en espérant que ceux-ci seront beaucoup plus fiables. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great performance, but pretty loud *by L***D on 7 September 2020* I got the 14TB for my game collection (300+ on steam) and the performance is great, good load times though due to the size sometimes it takes a long time for steam to preallocate space for the games. It’s intermittent though. Has consistent read and write speeds. I’ve gotten over 300MB/s writes. I’d say the only down side of this drive is that it is really loud, I have mine in a full size atx case and it’s under a shroud with the PSU. It isn’t as much of an issue if you use headphones, though sometimes it’s still audible. Though I do keep my case on my desk at head level so I’m sure that affects the noise. Overall I’d definitely still recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC (ST8000DMZ04/004) - BENFEI SATA Cable III, 3 Pack SATA Cable III 6Gbps Straight HDD SDD Data Cable with Locking Latch 18 Inch Compatible for SATA HDD, SSD, CD Driver, CD Writer - Black - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/218341979-seagate-barracuda-8tb-internal-hard-drive-hdd-3-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.us/products/218341979-seagate-barracuda-8tb-internal-hard-drive-hdd-3-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
