High-capacity desktop storage

The Seagate BarraCuda ST8000DM004 is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and all-in-one PCs that need large, affordable capacity. It spins at 5400 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface.

Straightforward SATA installation

The drive fits standard 3.5-inch bays using the supplied SATA data and power cables; no special drivers are required on modern operating systems. Because it uses SMR recording technology, sustained write speeds can drop during heavy, continuous transfers, so plan workloads accordingly.

Verify bay space and SATA ports

Confirm your chassis has a free 3.5-inch slot with at least 26.11mm height, 101.85mm width and 146.99mm length clearance. Ensure the motherboard or controller offers an unused SATA 6.0Gb/s port and that your power supply provides a spare SATA power connector.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the drive is operating correctly after installing it in my desktop?

Check that the BIOS or operating system detects the full 8000 GB capacity and that SMART attributes show no reallocated or pending sectors.

What comes in the box with this bare drive and what must I provide separately?

The drive itself is supplied without cables or brackets; you will need a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from your power supply.

Which capacity should I choose if I want the model that uses SMR recording with 256 MB cache?

This specific model is the 8 TB version with 5400 RPM, SMR technology and 256 MB cache; other capacities in the BarraCuda range may differ in recording method or cache size.
