FAQ

Is this drive suitable for use in a NAS or RAID array?

This Barracuda 8TB model uses SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology, which is not recommended for NAS or RAID environments due to performance degradation during write-intensive operations. For NAS applications, Seagate recommends their IronWolf series drives, which feature CMR technology and are specifically designed for multi-drive environments with advanced vibration protection and workload optimization.

What’s the actual usable capacity in Windows?

Due to the difference between decimal (1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes) and binary (1TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes) calculations used by manufacturers and operating systems respectively, Windows will report approximately 7.27TB of usable space. Additionally, a small portion is reserved for formatting and file system overhead.
