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.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

sea shark
Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 is a representative of the youngest, but at the same time the most popular series of hard drives from the American brand. The 4TB version only exists with a "slow-speed" 5400 rpm, but at the same time a large 256 MB RAM cache. The younger 2 and 3 TB versions of the Barracuda come with the same speed characteristics, as well as with an increased RPM to 7200, while, on the contrary, a cache reduced to 64 MB.
Faithful Assistant
The 4 terabyte Barracuda ST4000DM004 is the perfect choice for a second-capacity PC drive in addition to a fast SSD as the main system drive. The manufacturer recommends loading Barracuda less than 2400 hours or 55 terabytes per year. This corresponds to an eight-hour working day, five days a week. If you need an HDD for 24/7 operation, then it is better to opt for the older Seagate IronWolf ST4000VN008 series.
Reasonable price
The sequential read and write speed of the Barracuda ST4000DM004, unlike the SSD, is the same and stable without affecting the size of the file being written — 190 MB / s. Random speed, measured in IOPS, is naturally much lower, it is this indicator that is the weak point of HDDs in comparison with SSDs. But in terms of the ratio of volume and price, the four-terabyte Barracuda still has no equal even among other HDDs, not to mention SSDs.
For work and leisure
The Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 is suitable for building both a work and a gaming computer. Modern games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Red Dead Redemption 2 weigh in at 150GB each. There is clearly not enough space on a solid state drive for them, a hard drive is required. Throw in a collection of family photos, and 4TB doesn't seem like an infinite amount of space. And for professional video editors, it is probably better to immediately buy the Seagate BarraCuda Compute ST8000DM004 with a maximum capacity of 8 TB for this series.
