Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5" SATA III 6Gb/s Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST2000DM008 is a 3.5 inch BarraCuda hard drive that gives desktops, all-in-one systems, and home servers an easy way to add 2 terabytes of dependable storage. It slips into any standard SATA bay, connects through a 6 Gb/s SATA III interface, and is ready to handle everything from daily documents to large media libraries without fuss.

Once installed, the drive can sustain transfers up to 220 MB/s, so copying photos, loading games, or streaming high-bit-rate video feels snappy for a mechanical drive. Builders who need extra space for project files, families who back up multiple PCs, and hobbyists running a Plex or Nextcloud server will all appreciate the roomy capacity and straightforward setup.

Seagate designed this model with efficiency in mind. Typical active power draw sits at only 5.1 W, while standby drops to as little as 0.3 W, which helps keep electricity bills and system temperatures in check. The drive also supports an annual workload of up to 55 TB, a figure that comfortably covers most home and small-office scenarios.

Every BarraCuda drive in this series carries a limited two-year warranty, and Seagate’s long track record in desktop storage offers added peace of mind that your data stays safe and within reach.
