## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this 7200 or 5400rpm?**
A: Only the 1 TB (#ST1000DM010)  and 2 TB (#ST2000DM008) models are 7200, all the larger models are 5400.  Both the llisted speed and model number change in the product description as you pick different disk size options.  

This is consistent with Seagate's website -- From the home page, drill down through (or search for) Internal / Hard Drives / BarraCuda - Learn More, and then click the 3.5 inch models tab (NOT the 3.5 inch PRO models tab).  Then click on the data sheet next to any model to get a PDF with a table containing all of the models along with their drive speeds and other specs..

**Q: Is a sata cable included in the package?**
A: Cables not included.  You can buy a SATA data cable and likely the appropriate power cable for your computer right here on Amazon.  Depending on your power supply, the power cable may already be connected to it in your computer -- some have that and some do not.

**Q: Is this really 7200rpm? the model number suggests otherwise.**
A: Only the 1TB and 2TB HDDs in this series are 7200RPM.  The higher capacity drives are 5400RPM and only intended as data drives.

When using the 5400RPM drives you should have a separate drive that is either a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD for the operating system/as the boot drive.  5400RPM drives will boot a computer but will be noticeably slower than a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD.  If your computer is new enough, an NVMe drive would be the best option.  Otherwise, a SATA SSD would be the next best option.  All three are available right here on Amazon.

**Q: Is the 2tb (st2000dm008) internal hard drive cmr or smr?**
A: I can't speak to SMR vs. CMR but since I see someone said this is unsuitable as a boot drive I will note that I have used this as the boot drive with a dual Windows 10-Xubuntu 20.04 OS install and it has worked fine.  I personally think the load/unload cycle count is set way too liberally, it unloads way too quickly IMO but that is easy enough to deal with and even if it isn't dealt with the drive has about 3-5 years of load/unload cycles built into it and that is worst case where the computer is on constantly (my use case).  Of course if you use it as a data only drive and use an SSD or M.2 for a boot drive this is a moot point as the drive is not accessed regularly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and Spacious Storage Solution
*by P***S on January 12, 2026*

The Seagate BarraCuda 4TB HDD is exactly what I needed for extra storage. It’s very reliable, runs quietly, and offers plenty of space for all my files, games, and media. Installation was simple, and it works flawlessly with my system. Great value for the capacity, and the performance is solid for everyday use and long-term storage. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite internal drive
*by A***Y on January 13, 2026*

This is my favorite internal drive that I also use in an external USB connected enclosure for back up purposes. I have bought 3 or 4 of these. They seem to be good quality. I have never had an issue of failure in 6 or 7 years of using them. The price is good and allows storage of massive amounts of personal data at a reasonable price. I keep redundant external backups in a fireproof safe in case of failure or unexpected disaster.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast Downloads and Plenty of Storage for Modern Games!
*by J***. on November 21, 2025*

I’ve been using this Seagate BarraCuda for over 3 years, and it’s still the drive with the highest storage capacity in my computer. I’ve installed heavy games like Call of Duty, FC 25, MK, and many others, and they all run very well. I haven’t had any technical issues with it, and it has definitely served its purpose. For an internal drive (and not an SSD), downloads are surprisingly quick, and performance has been solid. Installation is also very easy. If you’re willing to spend about $20 more, the 4TB version is an even better deal, but if 2TB is all you need, the price for this model is totally reasonable. I have no complaints about this drive, highly recommended!
