The internal HDD has 8TB capacity, 3.5-inch desktop form factor, 5400 RPM, and up to 190MB/s read and write speeds.
Best Buy is currently offering the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive at a discounted price of $250, down from its original price of $280. This 5400 RPM drive boasts a capacity of 8TB and offers read and write speeds of up to 190MB/s, making it ideal for bulk storage in desktops and DAS setups.
