- Is this drive fast enough for a Windows install?
- It works, but an SSD is much faster for the operating system. Use the Barracuda for storage and backups instead.
- Will it fit my desktop?
- It is a standard 3.5-inch drive with a SATA interface, so it fits most desktop cases and drive bays.
- Is it good for a NAS?
- Seagate positions the Barracuda for desktop PCs, not always-on NAS use. For a NAS, look at drives rated for continuous operation.
- What is the cache size?
- It has a 256MB cache, which is large for a 2TB mechanical drive and helps with burst transfers.
