Seagate BarraCuda 8 TB Internal Hard Drive Performance HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256 MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop, Data Recovery (ST8000DM004)

Product Information

Based on the Roadkil’s Disk Speed test, we saw the access time of the hard drive to be of 11.38ms. As the drive is of 5400RPM, the access time is also usually longer than faster 7200RPM drives. The drive also maintains a relatively lower temperature. With heavy use, the drive reaches a maximum temperature of about 60°C. The non-operating temperature can go down to -40°C depending on the weather and the place that you live in. Regardless, Seagate did clearly state that the drive is rated at a read speed of 190MB/s based on the specifications sheet. So you will be clear on what are you getting before actually purchasing the drive.

Regarding sector sizes, there's a similar tradeoff for RAIDs. You have to decide the granularity at which you want to spread data across the different drives. I think the current RAID I have is using a 64 kiB chunk size (stripe size = num_logical_drives * chunk_size), which that first graph I quoted shows to be a safe choice for maximum throughput. However, the tradeoff isn't about speed vs. space-efficiency, but rather what I/O size you want to optimize for. If you make your stripes too large (or too small) for your typical I/O size, then it's just your performance that suffers.

It also features what Seagate is calling Multi-Tier Caching Technology to help the drive perform faster in spite of its slower rotational speed. According to Seagate, the MTC technology utilizes a NAND Flash, DRAM, and a media cache to improve the drive’s performance by optimizing the data flow to and from the drive, depending on the data that’s being transferred.

But time = money if it's your job, a bunch of 4TB SSD would fare better on long term.Comparing real-life benchmarks of the Ironwolf 4TB vs. Barracuda 4TB, overall the IronWolf is much faster with an effective speed advantage of 30%.

Priced at about PHP 13,0000, the 8TB variant has a cost-to-storage ratio of around PHP 1,625/TB, which is notably lower than the 4TB variant at around PHP 1,750/TB and the 1TB at PHP2,399/TB so you’re definitely saving a bit more money in the long-term if you choose the higher capacity variants. With the work from home arrangements made default due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, many users started to find out that their computing setup at home is insufficient. While you also consume more entertainment and media content at home, you will start to realize that your main storage drive (usually an SSD) on your PC simply can’t hold that much data. Furthermore, a SSD’s performance will deteriorate when it is almost full. Therefore, it is usually not recommended for you to store too much files on your SSD.

Additionally, the current lineup of Seagate BarraCuda drives also includes 6TB, 4TB, 3TB, 2TB, 1TB, and 500GB variants as well.
