Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA III 6 Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST2000DM006 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive that offers 2TB of capacity for desktop computers and workstations. A spindle that turns at 7200 revolutions per minute and a SATA III interface rated at 6 Gb/s help applications load quickly and keep file transfers moving.

Sequential read and write speeds reach up to 210 MB/s, and a 64 MB cache maintains smooth performance during large file operations. Features such as Native Command Queuing and Seagate OptiCache streamline data flow, which is valuable when editing video, loading game levels, or juggling several applications at once.

The drive includes Self Encrypting Drive technology with Instant Secure Erase. When it is time to retire, repurpose, or sell a system, sensitive information can be wiped in moments instead of hours, an advantage for small businesses, IT teams, and home users who handle confidential data.

With a typical active draw of about 8 W, the ST2000DM006 helps keep energy use and heat output under control. A load and unload cycle rating of 300,000 contributes to long-term reliability in systems that stay on for extended periods each day.

Installation is straightforward: slide the drive into any standard 3.5 inch bay, connect power and a SATA cable, and initialize the volume in your operating system of choice. Use it as a primary boot drive in a productivity desktop, as spacious media storage in a home theater PC, or as dependable additional capacity in a gaming rig.
