Purpose-built capacity

The Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST8000DM0004 is an 8TB 3.5-inch desktop hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It delivers sustained data rates up to 220MB/s and is rated for a 300TB per year workload limit. The bare drive includes a 5-year limited warranty and two years of Seagate Rescue Data Recovery services.

Creative pros and heavy archivers

This drive suits video editors, photographers and professionals who need high random performance and large local storage for active project files. It is not for builders who require the low latency of solid-state storage for operating system boots or application launches. Buyers needing more than 8TB in a single bay should look at higher-capacity models.

The 7200 RPM spindle speed

The 7200 RPM rotation speed is the specification that determines whether this drive meets your throughput needs for sustained sequential workloads such as video capture or large batch transfers. If your workflow depends on faster random access times, a solid-state drive is the appropriate alternative.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of this 3.5-inch drive so I can confirm it fits my bay?

The drive measures 26.11 mm in height, 101.85 mm in width and 146.99 mm in length, matching the standard 3.5-inch form factor.

Does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface require any special driver or jumper setting during installation?

No, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is plug-and-play; the common mistake is forgetting to connect both the data and power cables securely.

How often should I expect to replace this drive given its 300TB yearly workload rating?

The 300TB per year workload limit supports heavy daily use; with typical desktop loads the drive is designed to last well beyond the five-year warranty period.
