Seagate 5400 Internal HDD Reviews

Unreliable

By The
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-25

I got 2 of these drives. One is working just fine. The other I use as an emergency back up for important files, and after using it just twice, it died. If you can't have reliable storage for important data, then nothing else matters. The drive is just dead quiet when you try to use it, so most likely the PCB is at fault, and the data is still there but inaccessible. Fortunately, I have learned the hard way through the years NEVER to back up your data just once. So I have lost nothing but the drive -- though it is a major toothache to organize and save the data again on a new one. It's not worth trying to get the data off through some data recovery firm. I sorely doubt I will buy this brand again.

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).

Is this compatible with any 2.5 HDD slot?
Asked by: Jeff L.
No! WARNING: This is a 15mm-thick HDD. Most 2.5 slots -- on laptops, micro PCs, etc. -- DO NOT ACCEPT 15mm HDD, even if it is 2.5 . Most are limited to 7mm or 9mm. Check the spec of your computer and the dimensions of the HDD before purchase.
