i have more storage for memes than i could ever want

Reviewed in Australia on 23 November 2020

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

i have purchase three of these fine metal enclosures of the 3.5 inch variety. i am not a fancy man and i just use them as a standard HDD in a windowed environment. read and write speeds are fine, probably the second 3.5 inches i have seen do things that fast.

they do have that thing that i cant remember the name of that makes some read and write functions slower, but for standard every day meme use the work fine for watching sanic movies at 4k whilst colour grading sanic memes and listening to kpop. not so good for pp scratching though.

Catastrophic failure within 3 days

Reviewed in Australia on 5 September 2019

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

These disks would normally be fine (I have several 5+ year old barracudas that are *still* going strong) but 2 out of 2 of these failed within 3 days of use. Starts with a couple of read errors and quickly spirals into reallocated sectors, write errors and finally the disk completely refusing to function.

I suspect getting these shipped from the US is leading to some damage in transit, although this isn't obvious from the shipping - perhaps the two I received were from a dropped pallet or something.

Great price for a massive storage volume.

Reviewed in Australia on 25 January 2020

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Incredibly well priced drives that perform at a reasonable speed. Having this sort of space means you can store an huge volume of data cheaply. While not as versatile as external drives, I would choose an internal drive over external for most uses.

Not ideal for NAS and raid arrays, but I know people who have used them for that for many years with no issues.

Failed within the first 2 weeks! :(

Reviewed in Australia on 31 August 2020

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

I know it is common with spinning hard drives but this one was a gonner within the first 2 weeks. Probably a head or a spindle fail of sorts which I didn't investigate as it will void the warranty.

I switched on my PC and I was 1x HDD down out of 3. I have already returned to Amazon and now wondering if I try another of these (due to bad luck) or there is something really wrong.

Unbeatable Price for Maximum Storage

Reviewed in Australia on 18 December 2020

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

I'm most likely Seagate bias but there is a reason and it is that they always deliver a good quality drive with very respectable prices. I haven't had either of my drive fail on me and my pc is on most of the day.
I replaced 4 x 1 TB Seagate HDD's that were 7 years old and still functional for 2 of these 4TBs.

Dead on arrival - refurbished?

Reviewed in Australia on 25 February 2021

Capacity: 8TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

The product arrived with open internal packaging, including the antistatic cover, returned and hopefully will get refund, it looked like refurbished one. It was listed as prime, so not really sure if it was new, I guess the price should have been an indication.

Buyer Beware!

Reviewed in Canada on 29 February 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

I've been using Seagate products for more than 20 years; both at work and my personal computers. I've never had a problem. I'm sure if I had bought these drives at a bricks and mortar store they would have been fine, but unfortunately the seller treats these like books; throw them into a box, put in a few air pillows and ship them out. When I opened the box, they were COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED from the handling during shipping. My drives were covered in little dents to the top cover. NOTE to the seller: you simply CAN NOT ship hard drives like this! I'm going to be putting valuable data on these drives and they MUST be reliable. I can not trust drives that have been shipped this way.

After attempting to format the drives, they were full of bad sectors (no doubt due to the poor handling/shipping.)

Seagate, if you're reading this review, you might want to suggest that your drives are not mis-handled like this. Very disappointing.

Mit Seagate geht es bergauf

Reviewed in Germany on 8 November 2019

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Im Dezember 2017 erwarb ich 4 Stück 8 TB Archive Modelle. Da nach ca. 200 Betriebsstunden die zurückgelesenen Backupdaten etwa 3 bis 5 fehlerhafte Dateien pro TB aufwiesen, hat mir Seagate diese gegen 4 Ironwolf-Modelle ausgetauscht.
Diese zeigten das gleiche Verhalten. Die Festplatten bemerken die Fehler und mappen die fehlerhaften Sektoren auf Reservesektoren. In den SMART-Daten (nicht korrigierbare Fehler) wird dies aber nicht angezeigt. Nach ca. 1000 Betriebsstunden sind alle "Grown Defects" gewachsen und die Platten arbeiten bei mir seit ca. April 2018 fehlerfrei.
Ursache hierfür ist die um den Faktor 2 höhere Bitdichte auf den Scheiben. Damit wirken sich einzelne Störatome oder Gitterfehler stärker aus.
Ich habe seit April 2018 auch 3 Stück 8 TB Western Digital Red im Einsatz. Diese haben seit dem nicht einen einzigen Fehler gezeigt. - Es geht also doch.
Aktuell habe ich zwei 4 TB Seagate BarraCuda getestet. Ich war erschrocken. Sie zeigen das gleiche Verhalten wie die 8 TB Versionen. Vermutlich hat Seagate bei den neuen Modellen dieselben Scheiben wie bei den 8 TB Modellen eingebaut. Aber eben nur halb so viele Scheiben. Meine teilweise 8 Jahre alten 4 TB Seagates zeigten nie einen einzigen Fehler.
Die Seagate Hotline ist von mir 2018 informiert worden. Ihr Vorschlag war, die Platten nochmals auszutauschen.
... damit ich wieder 1000 Betriebsstunden warten kann, bis die Platten zuverlässig Daten speichern?
TzTzTz

Am 2019-12-28 korrigiere ich:
Ich war so frech eine 16TB Seagate Ironwolf Platte nicht bei Amazon zu kaufen. Bei ... gab es sie ca. 130 € billiger.
Nach ca. 300 Stunden Dauertest ist kein einziges fehlerhaftes Datenbit gelesen worden!!!
Nach ca. 10 Telefonaten und ebenso vielen E-Mails mit der Seagate Hotline Anfang 2018 scheinen sie es wohl kapiert zuhaben.
Grown Defects brauchen thermische Stimulation. Bei ca. 45°C dauert es eben ca. 1000 Stunden, bis alle Defekte gewachsen sind. Heizt man die Scheiben am Ende ihrer Produktion noch vor Einbau in ihr Gehäuse für ca. 30 Minuten auf ca. 100°C auf, erreicht man den gleichen Effekt. Alle Störstellen habe ihre endgültige Position eingenommen und können beim Aufzeichnen der Primary Defects im Gehäuse auf Resevesektoren gemapped werden.
Das Aufzeichnen der Primary Defects dauert bei einer 8 TB-Platte ca. 2 * 11 Stunden. 11 Stunden für das erste Beschreiben der Platte und 11 Stunden für das anschließende Aufzeichnen und Remappen der fehlerhaften Sektoren.
Die halbe Stunde Produktionszeitverlängerung fällt also kaum ins Gewicht.

Wer seine Backups ebenfalls auf Bitfehler überprüfen will, dem empfehle ich das kostenlose Tool „Total Commander“. Unter „Befehle->Verzeichnisse synchronisieren“ hat man die Möglichkeit ganze Verzeichnisse samt Unterverzeichnissen zu vergleichen – auch bitweise. Wer sich einmal an diesen Dateiexplorer gewöhnt hat, wird sich fassungslos fragen, warum sie/er sich so lange mit dem Windows Explorer abgemüht hat.

Ich werde meine Festplatten von Western Digital und Seagate weiterhin monatlich auf Bitfehler überprüfen.
Sollten sich solche einstellen, korrigiere ich natürlich meine Rezension.

Viele Grüße auch an Amazon
Detlev

Great SMR drive for backup

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Not much to say about this 2TB drive other than it works as intended, however have recently discovered that this is an SMR drive. I bought this specifically to replace my old Barracuda backup drive so it is fit for purpose. A word of warning to those looking to buy this drive as a system drive however, avoid. You should look to find a PMR drive instead.

Seagate Barracuda Compute drives in 2TB, 3TB and 4TB are all SMR. The 1TB Compute drive is PMR. Barracuda Pro drives are all PMR, hence the inflated price. Do not be persuaded by the 256MB cache, this offsets the drop in random read/write speed associated to the SMR drive. Seagate do not disclose which of their drives utilize SMR and have removed this information from their datasheets, so I hope this informs your purchases.

This is false advertising, only 5400 RPM !!

After doing some digging the model number listed ST4000DMZ04 is bogus. I just received the HDD and this is a ST4000DM004 which is 5400 RPM NOT 7200 RPM as the description says. Save yourself the $20 and just buy the ST4000DM004.

Irreführende Deklaration von "Kraft Computer Schmiede"

Reviewed in Germany on 26 November 2019

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: BarraCudaVerified Purchase

Bestellt hatte ich eine "Seagate ST2000DMZ08 BarraCuda 2 TB",
so wie es offensichtlich ganz oben auf der Seite Dick und Fett deklariert wird.
Das "Z08" in der Modellnummer gibt in diesem Fall an, das es sich hierbei um die derzeit neuste Produktionsserie dieses Modellls handelt.

Oftmals werden bei neuen Produktionsserien auch einige Dinge verbessert dachte ich mir.
Eventuelle Verbesserung der internen Mechanik/Elektronik, leiseres Laufwerk, Firmwareupdate, udgl..
Also achtete ich darauf die aktuellste Produktionsserie dieses Modell zu bestellen.

Von "Kraft Computer Schmiede" geliefert wurde mir die "Seagate ST2000DM008 BarraCuda 2 TB" (also eine ältere Pruduktionsserie).
So stand es jedenfalls auf dem Festplattenaufkleber.
Auf der Quittung steht jedoch korrekt meine Bestellung: "Seagate ST2000DMZ08 BarraCuda 2 TB".

Nach der Installation der Platte meldete mein UEFI überraschender Weise das Modell: "ST2000DMZ08".
Also stimmte hier der Aufkleber auf der Festplatte nicht.

Wenige Tage später bestellte ich erneut die selbe Platte bei "Kraft Computer Schmiede".
Nach Ankunft: Auch hier wieder auf dem Festplattenaufkleber "ST2000DM008".

Ok, dachte ich mir - installierst das Ding mal und dann wird vermutlich wieder "ST2000DMZ08" vom UEFI angezeigt.
Mein UEFI meldet dieses mal jedoch eine "ST2000DM008", also eine ältere Productline.
Auf der Quittung steht jedoch "Seagate ST2000DMZ08 BarraCuda 2 TB".

Auch wenn beide Produktionsserien die selben technischen Daten aufweisen
finde ich es unschön und irreführend von "Kraft Computer Schmiede",
das in der Kopfzeile ihrer Website die neuste Produktionsserie zum Verkauf präsäntiert wird (und nur diese!),
und dann weiter unten auf Seite - quasi im Kleingedruckten bei der Modellnummer ST2000DMZ08/DM008 steht.
Wer dies übersieht erhält von "Kraft Computer Schmiede" also zufällig entweder eine Platte aus der neuen
oder aus der alten Herstellungsserie.
