Desktop storage drive

The Seagate ST8000DM002 is a new 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 256MB cache. It uses 1.33TB-per-disk technology to deliver high capacity for desktop PCs, all-in-one systems, home servers and entry-level direct-attached storage devices. Seagate AcuTrac servo technology supports dependable performance across typical desktop workloads.

Suitable uses and limits

This drive suits builders adding bulk storage to a desktop, home-server or entry-level DAS enclosure where a 3.5-inch SATA bay is available. Buyers who need solid-state access speeds or a non-SATA interface will not be served by this mechanical hard drive. Systems limited to legacy BIOS can use the included DiscWizard software to access the full 8TB capacity without a UEFI requirement.

Deciding specification

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines compatibility; the host must provide a standard SATA data and power connection for this 3.5-inch drive to function.

Questions about this item

How often will the Seagate ST8000DM002 need maintenance or replacement in a desktop system?

Seagate rates the Desktop HDD series for typical desktop workloads and backs it with a standard limited warranty; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed enclosure.

What limit appears first when the ST8000DM002 runs sustained transfers on its SATA 6.0Gb/s interface?

The 6.0Gb/s SATA link caps burst throughput, so continuous read or write streams cannot exceed that interface ceiling.

How much noise, heat or power does the 3.5" 8TB drive produce when running all day in a home server?

The 3.5" form factor with Seagate AcuTrac servo technology is designed for desktop and entry-level DAS duty cycles, keeping acoustics and thermals within typical desktop HDD ranges.
