Customer Ratings & Reviews

High storage for a bunch of games, had no problems with it (I had this hard drive for over a year) runs great.

bought this hdd to use as my steam library and misc files on my new pc i just put together, initializing and installing the drive was straight forward and really easy, a bit on the slow end of the rpm range(5400rpm) but since my steam library was small and i don't have that many files i wasn't to worried about it, overall i was very happy with purchase

It's a great HHD for the price, 4tb is really nice when you can fill up 2TB quick just with games.

This 4TB (terabyte) (which is 4 trillion bytes) internal drive is like a hot bath. I mean ears submerge only the nostril sticking out the water so you can breath. It’s amazing.

I needed more space, i would never use the whole Hard drive, so much space.. but im glad of my purchase..

Back in the day I would of recommend it for anything, but nowadays you need to use a solid state drive or an M.2 Even if you use this for extra space, it will slow down your PC. After that being said, it is a good brand and solid drive, but use it to store data not to use when gaming.

4 TB is a lot of storage! It's fast, easy to install, and has been reliable. It is an excellent addition to an existing desktop system or as a main storage unit in a PC. The form factor is nearly perfect for a desktop or micro PC. Not sure about laptop applications though. SATA makes it super easy to use. Multiple mounting options increase flexibility and usefulness.

Picked this up to have some affordable storage for large video files that I don’t need to constantly be accessing. Installation was super easy and I had this in my desktop within minutes. I wouldn’t run software off this because I’m too spoiled by my fast NVME drives but this is perfect for file storage.

Sorta... I had to return this particular drive because I was able to fix the computer. Short story: The computer was in storage due to a move and would not power on. The solution was simply do a thorough interior clean and reset the BIOS battery and the computer powered on. The above was just in case you had a reason for purchasing an interior hard drive beyond needing the additional space. As for the barracuda as the Seagate barracudas are the only interior hard drives that I buy and I have bought a number of them over the years. Pros... 1. Reasonably priced. 2. Extremely durable. Typically, my computers go out before the hard drive so I just pull the Barracuda from my old computer and pop it into a hard drive enclosure and my data is there. Cons... 1. Reliability. Durable and reliable are not necessarily the same thing. It is still a hard drive with moving parts and you guessed it. I have had Barracudas just randomly fail! I bought a 2TB internal Barracuda hard drive. I actually bought 2 of them. I wanted and needed the extra storage. Annnnnnd u guessed it! One of them just failed for no reason! There was no data on it! It just failed out of the blue! As you can tell... I am still upset about that one! I believe that I had another Barracuda just failed randomly, but I am more upset about the one that I remembered. 2. Storage space!!!!!!! This one is the important one! I do not know your hard drive storage space needs, but you better buy at least twice what you need! I have already emailed Seagate about this issue. It is literally false advertising as you will never get the storage space that is advertised. Seagate's response? We do not control the way Microsoft's operating system interpret our storage space. Sooooo... If you buy a 4TB Seagate Baracuda hard drive, you might get between 3.5 to 3.8TB... That is an extreme might! I bought 2 Seagate EXMOS 18TB hard drives and I only get 16.3 TB of storage space. Yep! Lost almost 2 TB for each hard drive! This is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. I said all of that to say.....If you are in the market for a hard drive then I do recommend a Seagate Barracuda or even the EXMOS. Yes, I am upset about not getting the amount of storage that I paid for, but it is likely that all the major hard drive brands are running this same scam of false advertising more space than what is actually available. As a consumer, it really is an easy fix.... Seagate could just put in the fine print that 'available space is less than advertised storage' or they could do the ethical thing and just manufacture the hard drive at 5.5TB and advertise their storage as the minimum storage space available. This way... When I am buying a 4TB hard drive, the consumer knows that they are getting at least 4TB. Advertising storage at one level and as the consumer we receive less than advertised is just bad ju-ju. I could not think of a professional term. lol.... In either case.... it is not really a bad review as it is a recommendation to buy the hard drive, but understand that you will always receive less than the advertised storage so you better buy more than what you need.

Yeah its a four tb hdd and stores the stuff. It spins around and keeps spinning like a good spinny drive. May it keep spinning and storing things for years to come.

I added the Seagate Barracuda 4TB Internal SATA Hard Drive to my home setup, and it’s been a great addition to my storage needs. The Barracuda 4TB is a reliable and cost-effective solution for extra storage. The drive delivered what it promised.

This HDD Works great for storing data. It will never compare in speeds to using SSD technology, but it is affordable for lots of storage. I use it to save most of my data, excluding the OS which is what runs on an SSD. I've only had it for a month so far, but I don't expect an issue for a long time.

Works as expected and I'm thankful for the extra space. No issues at all.

Super easy to install hard drive. 4TB for that price is hard to beat. Fast and reliable, at a great price. Hard to beat.

Holds a lot of storage, easy to install, not loud unlike others I’ve seen, small

So far so great ive only had it for a short tkme but install was easy on the my harddrives . Pretty much pug and play.

Works great, very easy to setup. Used it for extra gaming storage.

Fast speed. Works great. Huge amount of storage. Good price point.

Bought this a while back to add more storage to my girlfriends pc and havent run into any issues. Runs great and is affordable when wanting to add more storage to your computer.

I purchased two Seagate Barracuda Compute drives as upgrades for a few systems at home. The drives perform as expected and are quiet (at least I can't hear them over the case fans, etc.). If you are looking to use this drive in an older system, check to see if your motherboard can support/use the capacity of a 4TB drive. Otherwise, you may only be able to use 2TB of the available capacity or less.
