Product overview

Released July 14, 2017, the Seagate BarraCuda 4TB (ST4000DM004) is a 3.5-inch SATA desktop hard drive in Seagate’s BarraCuda 3.5 HDD family; it remains in active production. Positioned as a budget, high‑capacity option, it exists to add inexpensive terabytes to a PC. With a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, 5400 RPM spindle, 256 MB cache, SMR recording, and up to ~190 MB/s sustained outer‑track reads, it’s best used as mass storage or a secondary game library rather than a boot or editing‑scratch drive.
