6 TB 7200 RPM desktop drive

The Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST6000DM004 is a 3.5" internal hard drive built for desktop systems that need high-capacity storage. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. A 256 MB cache helps accelerate access to frequently used files and applications. The bare-drive package suits system builders and upgraders who already have mounting hardware.

Sustained transfer up to 250 MB/s

The drive delivers sustained data rates up to 250 MB/s with a 6 Gb/s burst rate, making it one of the faster high-capacity mechanical drives available. Its 7200 RPM spindle speed and large cache combine to reduce latency during heavy read and write workloads. Power draw is rated at 6.8 W during typical operation. The SATA interface ensures broad motherboard and controller compatibility.

Suited for creative workloads and bulk storage

This drive targets creative professionals, gamers and power users who need up to 12 TB of reliable capacity for large media libraries, project files or game installs. It includes a 5-year limited warranty and a 300 TB per year workload rating. Buyers who require the low latency of solid-state storage or a smaller 2.5" form factor should consider alternative drive types.
