Questions about Seagate BarraCuda

As long as you have a free SATA III port, a free HDD slot and the relevant cables (power cable from the power supply unit and SATA cable), this is not a problem.

SATA is already the standard. Since 2017, SATA 3(.0) will probably be used. If there is a SATA cable on the quick-change connector, which then goes to the mainboard, then everything is fine. The only other standard that would come into question would probably be SAS, but this is backwards compatible with SATA and is used almost exclusively in the server market. And U.2 certainly isn't. So, yes, everything should fit.

No, only a 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD will fit inside, none with 3.5 inch

Unfortunately not, you need a 2.5" disc.

Yes, where else should the games be saved? But an SSD (2.5" / M.2) would be better than a hard drive.

In an external housing as a storage medium, yes, but it is too big for internal use. Internally, only 2.5 inch hdd or ssd can be used.

Non

Yes

It is a HDD, or have you ever seen rotating chips ;-) Here is the data sheet where it is also written: https://www.seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/3-5-barracudaDS1900-7-1706US-en_US.pdf

Unfortunately, I can't answer that. I have needed identical disks in all RAID systems so far - but I am not an expert in this respect.

You need a normal Sata cable like this one: Goobay SATA cable (50cm) Connect the power normally via the PSU, which should already have the appropriate cable mounted (for modular PSUs, simply connect the appropriate cable). It's best to take a quick look at a Ytb tutorial to make it clearer.

Hello, the disk is at 7200 rpm, I just double-checked with CrystalDiskInfo.

It won't work without a power cable.

Hello, no.

I've got the same issue setting up a RAID 1 (2x2TB Seagate BarraCuda). Was it stated in the customer information that this model does not suit RAID configuration? Does Digitec investigate to protect its customers?

In principle, you can use any hard drive for Raid 1. Since the data is mirrored 1:1, everything continues with the good hard drive if one fails. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter if you do it with cheap desktop hard disks. For Raid 5 or similar, however, I would take a closer look at the "Nonrecoverable Read Errors" and "Mean Time Between Failures" rates.

The problem with the HD is the shape. Just put some tape on the front and it will close.

I bought the same Article #9302108 last month and can confirm that I received an ST2000DM008.

No. Screws are always included with the PC housing for the hard disk slots.

No, the Sata cables should come with the mainboard.

As a rule, no cable needs to be purchased. Power is supplied by the PC power supply and a suitable SATA cable is usually supplied with the mainboard. Alternatively, you can also use an external housing. What do you plan to do with the hard drive?
