8TB Hard Drives: price, size and what to pick
What it costs. A 8TB hard drive runs $249.99 to $449.00 today across the 23 we have prices for, a typical $47.50/TB, with the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB the cheapest space at $31.25/TB. Prices come from several retailers and update daily.
Is 8TB the right size? 8TB is the size most people land on for media: roughly 320 films at Blu-ray quality, or a full backup of every drive in a typical PC several times over.
How long it lasts. Warranties at this size run 5 years typically, and a drive that survives its first year usually runs for many. Keep a backup regardless: a hard drive is a mechanical part.
Which one to pick. On specs alone the Seagate SkyHawk AI 8TB leads the table at 82/100, while the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB gives you the most space for the money. Sort by value above to weigh the two against each other.
What to check at 8TB
Recording type first. Of the 8TB drives here, 17 are confirmed CMR and 2 are SMR. SMR drives pack tracks closer together and can slow sharply during long writes and RAID rebuilds, so a NAS or a backup target wants CMR. Then look at the workload rating, which says how much reading and writing per year the maker designs the drive for, and the warranty. 5 of these are NAS drives, rated to run continuously.
Every row is one drive at exactly this size. Open a drive’s name for its full spec sheet, price history and, where Backblaze covers the model, its measured failure rate. The hard drive hub lists every capacity.
