8TB 7200 RPM desktop hard drive

The Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST8000DM005 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with 8000 GB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache. It connects via a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and is built for desktop workloads that demand high sustained throughput.

Suits media libraries and creative archives.

This drive fits users who need maximum capacity in a standard 3.5-inch bay for video libraries, photo archives or game collections. Builders working in small-form-factor cases or laptops that only accept 2.5-inch or M.2 devices should look elsewhere.

8TB capacity with 300TB annual workload rating

The 8TB capacity provides ample headroom for large project files and backups, while the 300TB per year workload limit supports heavy daily write cycles. Sustained transfer rates reach 220 MB/s, so very large single-file transfers will saturate the SATA link before the drive itself runs out of speed.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a SATA 6.0Gb/s port to use this 8TB drive?

The drive connects through a standard SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and will also operate on older SATA ports at reduced speed.

Will this 3.5-inch 7200 RPM drive fit in the same bay as my older 3.5-inch drives?

Yes, it uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor measuring 146.99mm long, 101.85mm wide and 26.11mm high.

How can I confirm the drive is delivering its rated 220MB/s sustained transfer rate after installation?

Run a sequential read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; sustained results near 220MB/s indicate the drive is performing to specification.
