Product Identity
The Seagate BarraCuda 7200.8 ST3400832AS is a 400GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache. It connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and is suited for desktop systems requiring basic storage capacity.
Installation Notes
The drive uses a standard SATA data and power connection, so it fits any desktop bay with matching cables and mounting points. As a bare drive it ships without screws, cables or brackets; installers must supply their own. The 1.0-inch low-profile height eases fitment in tight chassis, while the 11ms average seek time and 4.16ms latency are inherent mechanical characteristics that cannot be altered.
Capacity and Limits
At 400GB the drive holds an operating system, applications and a moderate media library for everyday desktop use. The 7200 RPM spindle and 8MB buffer deliver adequate throughput for single-stream tasks, but the SATA 1.5Gb/s link and mechanical latency become bottlenecks for heavy multi-threaded workloads or large sequential transfers. Buyers needing more space or faster interface speeds should consider higher-capacity or newer-interface drives.

Întrebări despre acest articol
How do I verify the ST3400832AS is performing correctly after installation?
The drive should be detected at its full 400GB capacity in BIOS and the operating system, report 7200 RPM and 8MB cache in SMART data, and show average seek times near 11ms with latency around 4.16ms during benchmarks.
What comes with the bare drive and what must I purchase separately?
The package contains only the 3.5" 1.0-inch low-profile drive mechanism; you must supply a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from your PSU, four 6-32 mounting screws, and a 3.5" drive bay or adapter.
Which BarraCuda 7200.8 capacity should I choose for a desktop build?
This model is the 400GB variant (ST3400832AS); other capacities in the 7200.8 series carry different model numbers, so select the 400GB version if that capacity matches your storage plan and budget.
