Seagate BarraCuda 8 TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s, 5,400 RPM, 256 MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC (ST8000DMZ04/004)
When I need bulk storage without getting fancy, a big BarraCuda drive is an easy way to add capacity for ISOs, backups, and less performance-critical VM data. It’s a straightforward SATA HDD choice that matches the rack case drive bays and keeps cost per TB reasonable.
