Please check the thickness first: this drive is 15mm tall. It will NOT fit most laptops or 7mm / 9.5mm drive bays. It suits desktops, NAS enclosures, USB enclosures that take 15mm drives, and servers with 2.5-inch bays.

Seagate BarraCuda 5TB 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s, model ST5000LM000 (P/N 2AN170), 5400 RPM. This model uses SMR (shingled) recording: excellent for storage, backups and media, but not a good fit for RAID arrays that rebuild often or for ZFS.

Tested, October 2026. Every drive passed a full SMART extended self-test (a complete surface read) with 0 reallocated sectors, 0 pending sectors and 0 uncorrectable errors.
