High by HDD standards, sequential read and write speeds. Cache 256 MB. Low noise.

A line of 3.5″ consumer HDDs from the American manufacturer Seagate. Part of the 2018 BarraCuda Compute consumer series, targeted at the consumer segment, including consumer multimedia PCs, game systems with more memory for game libraries, and office PCs that can do without a faster SSD. They can also be installed in workstations where a heavy load on the I / O subsystem is not expected.

Available storage capacity ranges from 500 GB to 8 TB. Depending on the storage, the amount of cache memory is from 32 to 256 MB. All representatives of this family are equipped with two types of reading heads, operating at a speed of 5400 or 7200 rpm. The former consume less energy and make less noise, the latter are focused on maximum speed. In general, the spread of speeds across the series is in the range from 156 to 220 MB / s.

Inside a Seagate BarraCuda Compute hard drive, you can find one or more high-capacity magnetic platters, as well as several heads that are used to read and write data. Data is written to disk using SMR tiled magnetic recording technology, which is great for home use, but may be less suitable for use in server systems where higher speeds and performance are required. Optimizing MTC (Multi-Tier Cache) technology promotes more efficient processing of data streams and improves overall disk performance. It should also be noted the low power consumption of this line - the manufacturer claims about 5-plus watts under load.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Seagate BarraCuda Compute hard drive series offers a range of capacities and is widely available, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious consumers. Many users appreciate its affordability and decent speed, especially for models like the ST2000DM006 and ST2000DM008, which are noted for their quiet operation and good performance. However, there are significant concerns regarding the reliability of certain models, particularly the ST1000DM010, which has received numerous complaints about noise, vibration, and early failure. Some users report issues like crackling sounds, overheating, and spontaneous shutdowns, leading to a lack of confidence in the product's longevity. While some users have had positive experiences with no issues over several years, others recommend considering alternative brands or investing in SSDs for better reliability. Overall, while the Seagate BarraCuda Compute series offers good value for money, potential buyers should be aware of the mixed reviews regarding its durability and performance.

Great hard drive for the price
quiet, optimal price per TB of volume, 4000 hours of operation so far, normal flight, temperature 33 degrees.
no - but defects happen everywhere, now the price in Citylink has risen - I took it for 7490 rubles - now the price is 8690 rubles

I like it. There was no loss of information.

Bought this drive over a year ago. All sectors are intact, and it doesn't heat beyond 33 degrees.
A good hard drive in terms of price and quality ratio. If you're careful and don't hit the hard drive against the case during installation, it will work great! The response time is good.
There can be spindle knocking. But it's rare. So, everything's OK.
