Seagate BarraCuda 6TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 5400RPM Internal HDD

The Seagate ST6000DM003 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive that supplies 6TB of dependable storage for desktop PCs, all in one computers, home servers, and entry level direct attached storage enclosures. It connects through a SATA III 6Gb/s interface, so it fits right into any modern motherboard or external chassis that accepts a standard SATA drive.

Inside, a 5400 RPM spindle pairs with a generous 256MB cache to keep large files moving smoothly. Whether you are loading expansive game worlds, editing high resolution video, or archiving photos, the drive sustains data transfers up to 185MB per second for consistent performance you can feel.

Seagate built this BarraCuda model for everyday reliability, rating it for 600,000 load and unload cycles and a workload of 55TB per year. Power demands stay modest at about 5.3 watts while active and only 0.25 watts in standby, which helps reduce heat and keeps energy costs in check during long backup or media streaming sessions.

Installation is straightforward: slide the drive into a 3.5 inch bay, attach a SATA data cable and a power lead, then format it in your operating system of choice. Gamers who need room for a growing library, creative professionals who juggle large project files, and families who want a central spot for movies and photos will all appreciate the space and stability this drive provides.
