Seagate BarraCuda 8 TB Internal Hard Drive Performance HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256 MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop, Data Recovery (ST8000DM004)

Product Information

File server ? hey maybe for a small business, but how do they fare in RAID ? does the SSD cache gets in the way ? While comparing these drives, we should be mindful that these are very different drives, created for very different applications, and have different price points for the same capacity.

Gaming ? maybe but you would know that it's not an ideal solution and would want to upgrade to an SSD eventually because of the eventual stuttering. Additionally, the current lineup of Seagate BarraCuda drives also includes 6TB, 4TB, 3TB, 2TB, 1TB, and 500GB variants as well.

The Seagate BarraCuda branding has been around for almost three decades. It was the first hard drive that featured 7200RPM speed, which provided superior performance over competition, allowing Seagate to gain its spot as one of the top manufacturers of hard drives. Seagate doesn’t complicate this model, so it’s only available at 4TB and 8TB, which is fine as these are the two most popular capacities for desktop PCs. However, these capacities can be limiting, so you will have to reach for the IronWolf series to get better density. We’ve determined that the Seagate BarraCuda Compute 8TB hard drive is created for general storage and archival, and it is well designed and priced to achieve just that. It is essentially almost a no-brainer if you are looking for a new hard drive with large storage capacity to store your every growing number and size of files. With Seagate’s branding and reputation, you should be in safe hands. The BarraCuda also has a workload rate limit (WRL) that defines how much data you can read and write from the drive before reliability degrades, but it’s quite low at 55TB per year during the two-year warranty period. In contrast, the 8TB WD Blue has no workload restriction.

Több információ a jogairól. There's also a scheme (known as the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF)) for doing host-based error correction that exposes sectors as 520 bytes, instead of 512. Most enterprise drives support this. The extra bits are meant to hold ECC. Regardless, Seagate did clearly state that the drive is rated at a read speed of 190MB/s based on the specifications sheet. So you will be clear on what are you getting before actually purchasing the drive.With how cheap NAND is, I don't think anyone would even consider this for an OS drive if they understand current technology or concerns with boot time. The Seagate BarraCuda is a typical hard drive that's built and optimized for capacity and lower pricing over performance. As such, it offers plenty of storage space at an inexpensive price point, but it has serious limitations. The product line is limited to 8TB and uses slower SMR technology at every capacity point, restricting the drives' use because write performance and consistency are quite poor, while the competing 8TB WD Blue uses faster CMR tech. The BarraCuda's overall performance is also low. This is partly due to the 5400-RPM spindle speed, but the lower rotational speed is forgivable given the price point. Sustained write performance is adequate, but eventually, there’s a bump in the road. SMR drives can write fine when fresh but eventually will have to rewrite data due to the shingled nature of the storage. This manifests as the interspersed periods of lower performance that you see in the test above, and the impact and duration of this type of performance inconsistency will vary based on the workload. A purely sequential write workload such as the one shown above is the best-case scenario for a write workload on an SMR drive, and you can expect those interspersed periods of lower performance to increase if you mix in smaller files during a transfer. Overall, SMR technology results in slower overall write speeds and poorer write consistency than CMR hard drives. Power Consumption
