Seagate barracuda st5000lm000, the first 2.5 hdd with 5 tb capacity

Seagate wants to maintain its leadership as a manufacturer of mechanical hard drives (HDD) for PC, so it does not stop innovating despite being very focused on the development of new high-capacity SSDs. Its new creation is the Seagate Barracuda ST5000LM000 with 5 TB of capacity.

Seagate Barracuda ST5000LM000: features, availability and price

The new Seagate Barracuda ST5000LM000 is a model with a thickness of only 15 mm and a size of 2.5 inches in which an impressive 5 TB storage capacity has been achieved. Its specifications are led by a rotation speed of 5, 400 RPM along with a cache of 128 MB to achieve a maximum speed in sequential reading of up to 140 MB / s, all with a maximum power consumption of 2.1W that is reduced to 1.1 W at rest.

For its construction Seagate has been based on its current 1 TB disks, which has allowed it to achieve a large storage capacity in a highly concentrated space. For less demanding users the Barracuda ST2000LM015 has also been announced with a thickness of only 7 mm, 5400 RPM and a capacity of 2 TB.

With this move Seagate shows that mechanical hard drives still have a significant gap in the market among users looking for a large storage capacity at very affordable prices. The new Seagate Barracuda ST5000LM000 would come at a price of $ 85, a figure that seems too tight to be true.
