About the Seagate ST8000DM004 8TB 3.5-inch SATA Hard Drive
The Seagate ST8000DM004 is a SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch hard drive engineered for high-capacity storage environments where reliability and sustained performance matter. This 8TB BarraCuda model delivers consistent throughput with a sustained data transfer rate of 190MB/s, making it suitable for sequential workload handling in data center and archival applications. Built on CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology and spinning at 5400 RPM, the drive pairs a 256MB cache buffer with a 512e sector size to balance performance and compatibility across legacy and modern storage stacks. Operating power consumption sits at 7.5W during read/write cycles, with idle power dropping to 4.0W, enabling efficient thermal and electrical management in populated server environments. Seagate rates this model for an annual workload of 55TB per year, positioning it for moderate-duty enterprise deployments rather than extreme-load scenarios.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams evaluating mid-range capacity solutions will find the ST8000DM004 a practical choice for secondary storage, backup repositories, and cost-sensitive NAS deployments where 8TB density is sufficient. The drive operates reliably across the standard enterprise temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, with non-operating specifications extending from −40°C to 70°C for flexible logistics and storage. Seagate's proven BarraCuda line has established a track record in environments where uptime matters but cutting-edge performance is secondary to capacity-per-watt efficiency. The 26.11mm height fits standard 3.5-inch form-factor bays, and operating shock tolerance of 70G at 2ms ensures the drive can withstand typical data center vibration and handling.
Omnixon Global stocks the Seagate ST8000DM004 (part number ST8000DM004) for immediate availability across enterprise and regional distribution channels.
