Overview

Exceptional versatility and unmatched reliability

Choose a high quality drive that is both powerful and reliable, but above all, very small in size. The Barracuda Compute drive has a 2.5" form factor with a thickness of 7mm, while enjoying very good transfer speeds. The Seagate BarraCuda 2.5" hard drives (up to 5TB capacity) incorporate the performance and reliability that Seagate products have proven for over 20 years.

BarraCuda 2.5" drives deliver on their promise

The Barracuda Compute 2.5-inch hard drive lineup is truly expansive with capacities up to 5TB in two 7mm and 15mm sizes, compatible with a variety of computing applications. The drive features fast data transfer rates of up to 140MB/s, for optimal user comfort and more responsive transfers.

The 15mm thick 2.5" drives provide capacities ranging from 3TB to 5TB, the highest capacity 2.5" hard drives on the market for external or all-in-one storage solutions.

Proven reliability

The 15mm thickness allows for thinner all-in-one desktop designs and helps reduce heat generation and vibration. Thanks to their low start-up current, the 3TB to 5TB drives can be used in existing low-power systems, such as external USB 2 enclosures, and at the same time help reduce power consumption. The 5TB drives can store over 1.25 million songs and 600 hours of HD video.

    Good.

    Nothing negative to report.
    This HDD is ideal for installing games in an entry-level casual gamer PC.

    - Simple installation (like any other SATA HDD).
    - Fast, quiet operation.
    - Not too power-hungry.
    - Very decent transfer rate.

    I'm always happy to use the 'Seagate,' 'BarraCuda' series.

    Super

    I've been using it for a few years now and to be honest, I've had 0 problems with the speed, which is very reasonable for a mecha hard drive, and it's worth the price !!!!
