Is this 7200 or 5400rpm?

Only the 1 TB (#ST1000DM010) and 2 TB (#ST2000DM008) models are 7200, all the larger models are 5400. Both the llisted speed and model number change in the product description as you pick different disk size options. This is consistent with Seagate's website -- From the home page, drill down through (or search for) Internal / Hard Drives / BarraCuda - Learn More, and then click the 3.5 inch models tab (NOT the 3.5 inch PRO models tab). Then click on the data sheet next to any model to get a PDF with a table containing all of the models along with their drive speeds and other specs..

Is a sata cable included in the package?

Cables not included. You can buy a SATA data cable and likely the appropriate power cable for your computer right here on Amazon. Depending on your power supply, the power cable may already be connected to it in your computer -- some have that and some do not.

Is this really 7200rpm? the model number suggests otherwise.

Only the 1TB and 2TB HDDs in this series are 7200RPM. The higher capacity drives are 5400RPM and only intended as data drives. When using the 5400RPM drives you should have a separate drive that is either a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD for the operating system/as the boot drive. 5400RPM drives will boot a computer but will be noticeably slower than a 7200RPM HDD, a NVMe drive or an SSD. If your computer is new enough, an NVMe drive would be the best option. Otherwise, a SATA SSD would be the next best option. All three are available right here on Amazon.

Is the 2tb (st2000dm008) internal hard drive cmr or smr?

I can't speak to SMR vs. CMR but since I see someone said this is unsuitable as a boot drive I will note that I have used this as the boot drive with a dual Windows 10-Xubuntu 20.04 OS install and it has worked fine. I personally think the load/unload cycle count is set way too liberally, it unloads way too quickly IMO but that is easy enough to deal with and even if it isn't dealt with the drive has about 3-5 years of load/unload cycles built into it and that is worst case where the computer is on constantly (my use case). Of course if you use it as a data only drive and use an SSD or M.2 for a boot drive this is a moot point as the drive is not accessed regularly.

The Seagate BarraCuda 4TB HDD is exactly what I needed for extra storage. It’s very reliable, runs quietly, and offers plenty of space for all my files, games, and media. Installation was simple, and it works flawlessly with my system. Great value for the capacity, and the performance is solid for everyday use and long-term storage. Highly recommended!

Solide disque d’archivage et de sauvegarde — silencieux, grande capacité Configuration utilisée : 2× Seagate BarraCuda 4 To 3,5" (SATA 6 Gb/s, 5 400 tr/min, 256 Mo de cache) Installés dans un boîtier multi-baies ORICO USB-C Aux côtés d’un SSD 2,5" (disque de travail) Usage : l’un des BarraCuda me sert d’archivage, le second de copie de sauvegarde. L’ensemble est centralisé et accessible via un seul câble USB-C, tandis que le SSD gère les projets en cours. Ce que j’ai aimé : Grande capacité à prix raisonnable : idéal pour regrouper des bibliothèques photos/projets. Fonctionnement discret : faible bruit et vibrations contenues dans un boîtier. Débits stables pour des transferts volumineux (parfait pour archives et backups). Compatibilité sans souci en 3,5" : montage simple, reconnaissance immédiate. Points perfectibles / à savoir : À 5 400 tr/min, c’est moins vif qu’un 7 200 tr/min ou qu’un SSD pour les accès aléatoires : à éviter comme disque de travail principal. Comme tout HDD, la fragilité aux chocs reste à garder en tête : manipuler hors boîtier avec précaution. Les performances perçues dépendent aussi du boîtier/contrôleur USB : ne pas comparer directement à un SATA interne natif. Conseils d’usage : Garder le couple archives + sauvegarde : excellente pratique (3-2-1 si possible). Activer et surveiller le SMART régulièrement ; planifier un test de surface de temps en temps. Étiqueter clairement les volumes (ARCHIVE / BACKUP) pour éviter toute confusion. En cas de transferts massifs, laisser le disque refroidir (bonne ventilation = longévité). Penser à enregistrer le numéro de série pour les Services Rescue si inclus. Verdict : un HDD fiable et silencieux qui remplit parfaitement son rôle d’archivage et de sauvegarde. Pour travailler au quotidien, je reste sur le SSD ; pour stocker sereinement et regrouper mes données, ces BarraCuda 4 To sont un très bon choix.
