About this deal

Looking at the specs, the IronWolf has a much higher 27/7 operation workload of 180 TB/year vs the Barracuda’s 55 TB/year. So if your data requirements are within the Barracuda’s rating, you can use it instead of a NAS drive. Comparing real-life benchmarks of the Ironwolf 4TB vs. Barracuda 4TB, overall the IronWolf is much faster with an effective speed advantage of 30%. Reliability I think 2 of them in raid1 for a file server would be a good solution for a Small Business's file server. It’s tempting to spend a little more cash to buy up to Seagate’s 7200-RPM FireCuda, which is better across the board. It has a faster spindle speed that provides better sequential and random performance. The FireCuda also has a much better warranty, including data recovery services. The FireCuda's primary downside is its price-per-TB of storage, so if you're working with a tight budget, the lower-tier 5400-RPM class drives are the way to go. There's also a scheme (known as the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF)) for doing host-based error correction that exposes sectors as 520 bytes, instead of 512. Most enterprise drives support this. The extra bits are meant to hold ECC.

The Seagate BarraCuda branding has been around for almost three decades. It was the first hard drive that featured 7200RPM speed, which provided superior performance over competition, allowing Seagate to gain its spot as one of the top manufacturers of hard drives. With how cheap NAND is, I don't think anyone would even consider this for an OS drive if they understand current technology or concerns with boot time.

Seagate Barracuda 8TB 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive is a very versatile internal storage option for all your desktop needs. It comes with a comfortable compatible size and can fit in all cases so you don’t have to worry about its dimensions. The 8 terabytes of storage are enough for every general-purpose user. It might even be over the top for most of the people out there.Harmadik féltől származó sütik Ezek a sütik harmadik féltől származó sütik, amelyekről és partnereinkről itt olvashat bővebben . The BarraCuda also has a workload rate limit (WRL) that defines how much data you can read and write from the drive before reliability degrades, but it’s quite low at 55TB per year during the two-year warranty period. In contrast, the 8TB WD Blue has no workload restriction. This is suitable for a NAS that uses ZFS in any configuration-be it a mirror or a RAID config (thanks CMR!), local storage that is sensitive to network latency but not high bandwidth, archiving that has large changes regularly that SMR will choke on or perhaps a drive for storing games (since this is a gaming brand of Seagate's) that weren't designed for SSDs or aimed at an older game collection.

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. A sütik feldolgozásával kapcsolatos beleegyezését visszavonhatja.

Több információ a jogairól.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 BarraCuda seemingly has the edge over the 8TB WD Blue due to its larger cache, but this is needed to help manage the SMR tech and keep the drive from suffering even worse performance. The WD Blue has a small RPM bonus at 8TB that improves performance, but all smaller Blue models operate at 5400-RPM. However, those smaller models match the BarraCuda's 256MB of cache capacity.As you see in our testing, the 8TB WD Blue beats the Seagate BarraCuda in every performance metric due to the combination of its CMR tech and slightly higher 5640-RPM spindle speed. 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. 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.
