Seagate 5400 Internal HDD Reviews

Never a worry

We've been using Seagate HDDs for 20 years and six features to archive raw camera footage, No lost files; no crashes of failures. Highly recommended.

Expensive but Solid

I don't have any photos of the HDD itself, but I purchased two of the SeaGate Barricuda 8TB HDDs for $638 after tax. The drives have been a solid addition to my home server (shown in photo), and it allows me to have a total of 20TB of storage between usable storage and backup storage, as it already had 4TB before this upgrade. While I would recommend these drives, it might be better to finance it and pay it off in 4 payments across 8 weeks. Solid 4/5 stars, and there's a decent chance that I purchase my next storage upgrade from B&H due to the convenience of it all.

OEM packaging just means that the item, the Seagate 8TB BarraCuda SATA III 3.5" 5400 rpm Internal HDD (OEM Packaging), BH # SEST8000DM04, in this case, comes in a generic plain brown box without any information on the packaging (not in a manufacturer's box with a picture of the product and/or product information).
