Seagate BarraCuda 8TB 3.5" Internal HDD

Video files can be bulky and the work flow here needs to meet that. The apps I count on include some that are ancient Win7 miracles and these dont do that well on current OS systems. For these, and other reasons such as not having the studio PCs networked, the robust work speed and convenient size of the units, the 8TB SATA3 Internal HDD BarraCuda are part of the answer for me. At least one in each main PC. Rare issues with a drive are always my incompetence but like to think am improving - and thankfully no major data damage to date. No pipeline can be faster than the slowest component in the line, in my case overall speed is not an issue...view more Video files can be bulky and the work flow here needs to meet that.

No pipeline can be faster than the slowest component in the line, in my case overall speed is not an issue for me, twenty hours per layer per scene often enough. Fact is plenty else to be getting on with. External storage of course is another story. Thanks PBT, in addition thanks for your couriers that are very convenient and speedy.

Awesome purchase to expand on storage, runs great with no problems at all. Is a little loud when installing stuff onto it but nothing to worry about. I recommend this hard drive for anyone wanting to expand on storage Awesome purchase to expand on storage, runs great with no problems at all.

I purchased two of these around four years ago. One failed after two years of use, but the second one is still showing 100% health. I purchased two of these around four years ago. One failed after two years of use, but the second one is still showing 100% health.

Works as expected :) Works as expected :)

We replaced our aging 2TB HDD with a new one. Transferred OneDrive onto it to free up c: drive SSD space. Works like a charm and no performance lag noticeable, so very happy. Shout out to Sam in the Hornby service desk who installed it for us on the spot (by prior arrangement) and all went smoothly. We replaced our aging 2TB HDD with a new one.

Great drive, I already have two and got a third because I needed the space - does exactly what it says, will buy another when i can! Great drive, I already have two and got a third because I needed the space - does exactly what it says, will buy another when i can!

Drive was installed 2021 in a well cooled, dust free quality enclosure powered by a top of the line evga powersupply. Don't bother with these high failure rate drives. What a waste of money and time. Data loss unrecoverable without massive expense. Drive was installed 2021 in a well cooled, dust free quality enclosure powered by a top of the line evga powersupply.

Even though the Drive is 5400RPM, the 256Mb cache more than makes up for it. Even though the Drive is 5400RPM, the 256Mb cache more than makes up for it.

as required - worked well as required - worked well

I think this is a great product and would recommend this to anyone looking for a larger drive. Its ideal for storage and other uses. One thing did happen in that the first one I bought was dead on arrival. This turned out to be a very easy swap for a new one. I have to say great service provided by PB Tech. The new one works perfectly and in fact I have since bought another one. I think this is a great product and would recommend this to anyone looking for a larger drive.
