Review on Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache – Frustration Free Packaging (ST2000DM008/ST2000DMZ08) by Michelle Langley

Excellent hard drive value for money. Since my old hard drive was almost full (512 gb), and began to give all sorts of errors, I decided to purchase an additional hard drive, and more capacity for 2 terabytes. I took the Seagate brands, especially this ST2000DM008 model, which, according to its characteristics, has the highest data transfer rate and a large cache memory of 256 megabytes. And I made sure of this myself. Connected and checked. There are no bad sectors. Everything is great. I am satisfied with the hard drive 9 out of 10. I noticed a noticeable vibration, compared to other drives, there is some noise, a hum with a heavy load on the hard drive (100%) during tests. In short, this drive is best suited for moderate home use up to ten hours a day and storage of non-critical data such as games, movies, music, photos, etc. You won't find better for the price right now. I looked a lot and something more or less costs 2 or even 3 times more expensive with the same volume and characteristics. Also, I consider it a big minus, it is a soft package.
