Good performance, hopefully lasts longer than the previous model

Capacity : 3TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

About two years ago, I built a 30TB RAID array using 10 of the former Seagate 3TB hard drives. These were the infamous ST3000DM001 model which all fail incredibly fast and are possibly the worst drives as of late. Of the original ten drives, 6 of them have failed. I've slowly been replacing them with these drives, and they're definitely performing better.

On average, this drive sees 150MB/s reads and 100MB/s writes. This is pretty good for a 7200rpm drive. I will definitely update this in the future if this unexpectedly fails.

Arrived with internal short. Fried cable and PSU!

Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2018

Capacity : 4TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Let me start by saying that I am an IT professional. I have been a sysyadmin and big-data architect for almost 20 years. I have installed literally thousands of hard drives in my career. This is not some kid who stuck tinfoil in his port...

Having said that; This is my first ever destructive failure. I plugged the HDD into a powered down, unplugged, PC with static all removed with a wrist cable.

I then booted the machine into linux to format the drive and it wouldn't show up in fdisk. I re-opened the case and got smacked in the face with melted plastic smell and despair. The sata sable is melted at the drive end, and the drive connectors themselves are melted (as shown in the picture)

If that wasn't bad enough... That port on my PSU is now useless. I plugged a fresh sata power cable into the port and it does nothing.

I have put in for a refund, but save yourself the hassle and skip this batch of HDDs. I will be tweeting at seagate to see if they have any idea how to make good on this. Otherwise all of my future purchases will be with Samsung or WD.

For Those Who Don't Want To Buy An Overpriced SSD Just Yet

Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2017

Capacity : 2TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

I bought this HDD to replace a slower, older Seagate HDD. The previous HDD clocked at 5900 RPM. This one that you're looking at, clocks at 7200 RPM. For those wondering how much faster this thing can go with the extra couple thousand RPM, here are some test times I clocked between the 2 hard drives.

Time to boot Windows 7 past the welcome screen:
Old 5900 RPM HDD= 1 min 15 secs
New 7200 RPM HDD= 50 secs (33% faster)

Time to start a game (GTA5) and connect to a multiplayer server:
Old 5900 RPM HDD= 3 min 32 secs
New 7200 RPM HDD= 3 min 15 secs (8% faster)

These differences are noticeable, but nowhere near as drastic as the speed increase you'd get from purchasing a solid state drive. This is one of the best valued HDD's in the market as of right now; if you're waiting for overpriced SSD's to become a more realistic price, this hard drive should serve you well before you make the leap.

Defective harddrive, or hidden incompatibilities

Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2018

Capacity : 3TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

The ST3000DM008 I ordered arrived in a dysfunctional state. Initially it was not detected as valid storage media by windows 10 x64, and upon trying to initialize the drive, I was presented with an IO error. Seagate was prompt in reaching out to me, and giving me a straight answer; the drive is defective. I was however warned, that were I to get a replacement through their warranty, the replacement might be a refurbished/used drive. Seeing that the failure rate of new drives is unusually high, I dread to think what kind of luck I would have with the replacement.

I have chosen to instead get two 2TB hard drives, as that at least rules out certain incompatibilities I have heard of.

Fast and Spacious! - 12TB

Reviewed in Canada on April 2, 2018

Capacity : 12TBStyle: BarraCuda Pro with Data RecoveryVerified Purchase

Sometimes, there comes along a piece of technology that surprises you - The Seagate BarraCuda Pro 12TB did just that for me. I was surprised at how fast it is for a mechanical drive. It's read / write speeds exceed manufacturer specifications. I'm using this as media storage for my little Gigabyte Brix i3 mini PC, which is hooked up to my TV. The BarraCuda Pro 12TB easily keeps up with fast binary downloads. It's also faster than my 1TB FireCuda (which it replaces). As of this date, I could only find one external enclosure that officially supports this capacity: Mediasonic HDL-SU3 (It's stated on their website). This drive works very well with this enclosure. An option to extend the rescue service to 3 years (USD $15) is presented after registration. I did take up this offer, as I'm using this as a DAS drive (non critical media, but will be nice to recover if drive fails). This drive makes a slight rattling noise at times, but not disturbingly noisy while watching video. I highly recommend this drive.

defective - but not warrantied by Seagate(?)

Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2019

Capacity : 2TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

My son spent several months trying to trouble shoot his gaming computer build and took it to several different computer techs. After trying several other software and hardware things that had no improvement on system performance, the one tech said that this hard drive was defective. After swapping it out for a different hard drive, the computer worked perfectly. Next, we returned the defective one to Seagate. Seagate sent back a hard drive in the package that we had sent it in with no note as to what they had done. It took several more calls to Seagate to find out that it was not new or refurbished and that they claimed the hard drive was in perfect working order. This was a very frustrating customer service experience from start to finish.

Bang for buck is hard to go past

Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2018

Capacity : 4TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Arrived safe and sound, packaged well. No SATA cable but that’s fairly standard (just mentioning it for people). My drive is nice and quiet, can’t hear it over case fans which are very quiet (Noctua fans) so that’s fantastic.

Speeds are good for a mechanical drive. You get a big burst speed writing to it then it will slow down. So really large files definitely take longer than an SSD but for say 5GB transfers it’s fairly negligible due to buffer. On larger files it will slow from burst speeds of 300-400MB/s down to 170MB/s or so. Slower if lots of smaller files. Obviously a huge difference from 550MB/s of a good SSD drive or 1400MB/s of a good NVMe drive but this is after all just a storage drive.

Price is great, solid performance, nice and quiet. No complaints here! If it were for any kind of proper backup drive I’d go for WD reds or similar but just for storing movies, tv shows or as an extra backup for your tablets/laptops etc it does the job nicely.

Two drives, one with 2500+ bad sector, one DoA

Reviewed in India on October 14, 2018

Capacity : 4TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Ordered this drive on Amazon sale, first one delivered within a day. Connect it to desktop to try transferring some files, right off the bat gnome disks says 1700+ bad sectors, however drive health is ok. Do a brief research and found that this alone might not make it a bad drive, the number may not even go up. Try transferring files from old hard disk (HGST, 1TB, 3 years old, zero bad sectors), after about 100GB transfer, rsync slows down and begins to complain. I check gnome disks, 2590+ bad sectors, drive health reduced to 99 from 100, still says ok. Decided not ok, disconnect the drive and repackaged it.
Order a replacement, replacement gets delivered 3 days later in torn up packaging held together with rubber bands. Connect the drive again, Windows disk management asks to intialize drive, click initialize, fails with IO error. Boot linux live distro, with the SATA cable from my Crucial SSD connected to this drive on the off chance the cable was bad. Gnome disks can't initialize the drive, gparted fails to scan drive and complains about IO errors. Disconnected and repackaged it, now contemplating next move.

Edit: Ended up taking it up to seagate customer service, RMAed it, they gave me a new hard drive, with warranty, delivered in a properly cushioned box. Using it for 5 months now, no issues yet.

Produit à 200€, disque dur, donc assez sensible, et pourtant "emballé" dans un simple petit carton plus petit qu'une feuille A4, sans la moindre boîte ou autre, simplement dans un petit plastique de rien du tout, complètement abimé. Je trouve ça honteux de livrer un tel produit dans de telles conditions !

Seagate ST8000DM004 Barracuda - 8 TB internal hard drive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2020

Capacity : 8TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

WARNING THESE DRIVES USE SHINGLED (SMR) STORAGE !
SMR drives perform quite badly in some usage situations. In my case doing very large backups over a network. They write at full speed for around 2 hours and then the speed plummets to around 1/4 full speed.

I think it's appalling that Seagate don't think it necessary to tell their customers what they're getting in the product description. It is miss selling !
SMR drives are fine for some situations but I would not have bought them if I'd have known. Would not buy again or recommend.

E' importante sapere che contrariamente a quanto dichiarato il disco è 5400 rpm

Reviewed in Italy on November 8, 2018

Capacity : 8TBStyle: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Ne abbiamo presi parecchi per riuscire a completare un RAID 5 Drobo fidando nei 7200 giri dichiarati in passato su questo modello da 8 TB. Purtroppo l'array è ancora incompleto in virtù del tasso di difettosita: 1 su 2 arriva guasto o si guasta dopo poche ore di lavoro. Non sappiamo se ciò sia dovuto ad un imballaggio troppo "leggero" ma tant'è. Ora vediamo se Amazon censura o pubblica :-)
