Where it does fit is in 2.5\" USB enclosures, some all-in-one PCs, small-form-factor builds and drive bays designed for 15mm drives. Seagate designed the 3TB to 5TB models with low startup current, so they spin up reliably in bus-powered external enclosures. It's a good way to build a large portable backup drive or add bulk storage to a compact system that can't take a 3.5\" drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeed and SMR trade-offs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 5400 RPM and up to 140MB\/s, this is a storage drive, not a boot drive. Windows and apps will feel much quicker on an SSD. It uses shingled magnetic recording (SMR), which is fine for photos, video archives and game libraries, but sustained heavy writes can slow down, and it isn't suited to NAS or RAID use, where IronWolf is the right choice. If you need a slim drive for a laptop, the 7mm BarraCuda models top out at 2TB. If you want 5TB ready to plug in, a Seagate portable drive may be simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5TB in a 2.5\" footprint, 15mm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow startup current for bus-powered external enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-Tier Caching Technology for faster write handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 140MB\/s data rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalogen-free and RoHS compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Seagate BarraCuda 2.5\" 5TB (ST5000LM000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 5TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: 2.5\", 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: SATA 6Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpindle speed: 5400 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 128MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData transfer rate: Up to 140MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecording technology: SMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBytes per sector (logical \/ physical): 512 \/ 4096\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad\/unload cycles: 600,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNonrecoverable read errors: 1 per 10E14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStartup current (+5V): 1.2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage read \/ write power: 1.9W \/ 2.1W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle power: 1.1W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0°C to 60°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock (operating 2ms \/ non-operating 1ms): 300 \/ 650 Gs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustics (idle \/ seek): 2.6 \/ 2.7 bels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 15.0 x 69.85 x 100.35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 190g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 Year Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Seagate BarraCuda 5TB 2.5\" hard drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Seagate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeagate has made hard drives since 1979, and BarraCuda is its mainstream drive range for PCs and laptops, with free DiscWizard software for cloning and backup.
