In case you have been looking for a reliable and high-capacity internal hard drive for backup storage, the Seagate BarraCuda could be a suitable choice to consider. Amazon is once again offering the drive at its lowest price in over a year.
The BarraCuda has a 3.5-inch form factor, operates at 5400 RPM, and includes 256MB of cache. With a sustained transfer rate of 190MB/s and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, the drive promises efficient data handling.
The Seagate BarraCuda includes Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology as well as hardware-based Instant Secure Erase. Keep in mind that the drive uses Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology. This means it is not designed for 24/7 operation or heavy-duty workloads. However, it is well-suited for tasks like backup storage.
