## Long description

SEAGATE Barracuda ST8000DM004 is an internal 3.5-inch hard drive with 8 TB capacity, 5400 RPM spindle speed and 256 MB cache. It connects via Serial ATA III (SATA 6 Gb/s) and is designed for desktop storage, backups and mass data archiving. The drive is suitable for single-drive desktop systems, external enclosures or RAID arrays where high capacity and energy-efficient operation are required.
Advantages
The drive offers a large 8 TB capacity combined with a 256 MB buffer for improved data throughput and Multi-Tier Caching Technology for better read/write responsiveness. Its 5400 RPM spindle speed provides a balance between lower power consumption and quiet operation, making it appropriate for energy-conscious desktop setups. The 3.5-inch form factor is standard for desktops and many external enclosures, simplifying upgrades and replacements.
Suitable for
Desktop PCs requiring high-capacity storage for files, media and backups
External desktop enclosures and personal NAS units
Single-drive systems or RAID arrays where high capacity and low power draw are priorities
When it may not be suitable
This 5400 RPM drive is not optimized for applications that require sustained high IOPS or the lowest possible latency, such as high-frequency database servers or intensive virtualization hosts. If your workload depends on maximum random-write performance or very low latency, a higher-RPM HDD or an SSD would be more appropriate.

How to use

For RAID configurations, follow your motherboard or controller manufacturer’s instructions to add the drive to an array and verify redundancy and rebuild settings.
What to consider before purchase
Verify your system supports a 3.5-inch drive bay and SATA III interface
Assess whether 5400 RPM performance meets your application needs versus higher-RPM drives or SSDs
Check available physical space and cooling to ensure proper airflow for a 3.5-inch desktop drive
