Enter the Seagate BarraCuda 5TB Internal Hard Drive – a behemoth of storage that promises to turn your mini machine into a data-swallowing shark.

In summary, if you need a storage solution that's both speedy and spacious, the Seagate BarraCuda 5TB HDD is a reel-y great choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with the free NSA spyware**
A: To all those who think this is crazy, it's pretty well known in fact this is mundane and mainstream at this point. That, however, begs the question: If THIS is mainstream, imagine what they're still successfully hiding? 🤔

**Q: What is the spindle spped for this drive?**
A: Whenever a drive manufacturer or seller doesn't mention the speed of a drive in an ad, you can assume that it is 5400 RPM.  If it were 7200 RPM, it would highlighted on the first line.  If it was a 10K drive, it would be the very first word on the first line.  This is a 5400RPM drive.

**Q: So will this work for a ps4 by itself or will i have to buy that ugly nyko bank thing?**
A: The PS4/ pro comes with a 2.5 inch drive and is not compatible with a 3.5 inch drive. You WILL need the data bank for this to work. Not sure why people have answered your question saying it will work?

Just to confirm, this WILL NOT fit your PS4 without the data bank.

**Q: What is the difference between this version and the one that says (Old Version)?**
A: I have both versions in service here and see no difference in performance. Before putting into service I suggest running: https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm on the drive. Enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Value, and doesn't disappoint in performance per gb/$.
*by T***C on May 3, 2018*

An easy install and great value, the drive performs well with short file copies between the Barracuda and an SSD (Hynix). Note it IS 5400 RPM, NOTE IT IS 128 meg CACHE. These are key factors in your drive purchase, performance vs. battery life. I've found it to be especially efficient with file or file selects under 2 GB for copies between the drives on the same laptop system. File copies and backups via a 1 gb network connection work great most of the time, and the read/writes are over 60 meg/sec write via the network to another 7200 RPM drive (WD Blue WZEZ), even 100 meg/sec to a (boot) SSD on the network. Expect the benchmarks to be correct, value at a good performance rate. As stated smaller transfers also have great burst over the 1 gb network, with less than 1.5 Gb copying in under 6-10 seconds. This drive does well on smaller copy transfers than larger files due to its 128 meg cache. It's a great second system and backup drive for an SSD (boot) drive based system, on a laptop or desktop. This isn't a workstation drive unless you work backups (Win 10 File history is FAST, as is Win 7 type backup), in which its value speaks for itself. I'd recommend this drive based on price and performance for all things considered. AS-SSD benchmark is reported as 130 meg/sec read, 120 meg/sec write on 4k transfers. It's consistent with other tested benchmarks for the same drive/model. 5 stars, not to mention I have a successful history with Seagate products! TC
