Seagate BarraCuda 120 SSD
SATA · 2TB
Anyone replacing a mechanical hard drive without moving to NVMe is the target for the BarraCuda 120: a 2.5-inch SATA drive with TLC NAND rated for 560/540 MB/s and 90,000 IOPS in both directions, essentially topping out what the SATA interface allows. Its 1170TB TBW rating sits well above the Q5's 531TB and just below the FireCuda 530's 2550TB, with a 5-year warranty matching the FireCuda 530 despite the far lower throughput a SATA connection allows. It's built for everyday desktop and laptop upgrades rather than write-intensive workloads.
