How much can 8TB store?

One 8TB SATA hard drive, in decimal units (1TB = 1,000GB), before file-system and RAID overhead. Each line is a division you can redo; the per-file sizes are our assumptions and say so.

Security cameras, recording continuously: 231 camera-days - 8 cameras for 28 days. The arithmetic: 3.2 Mbps ÷ 8 = 0.4 MB/s × 86,400 s = 34.56 GB per camera-day; 8,000 GB ÷ 34.56 = 231 camera-days. The bitrate is WD's reference figure for one stream (single stream, 1080p, h.265, 25fps), from WD Purple / WD Purple Pro data sheets (footnote 3); the 8-camera count is our example. A camera set to a higher bitrate fills the drive proportionally faster.

  • Photos: 1,600,000 photos (our assumption: 5 MB per JPEG)
  • RAW photos: 266,666 frames (our assumption: 30 MB per frame)
  • 1080p films: 1,000 films (our assumption: 8 GB per film)
  • 4K HDR films: 133 films (our assumption: 60 GB per film)
  • TV seasons (1080p): 266 seasons (our assumption: 30 GB per season)
  • Lossless music tracks: 266,666 tracks (our assumption: 30 MB per FLAC track)
  • Office documents: 40,000,000 files (our assumption: 200 KB per file)

8TB SATA HDD Buyer's Guide

🏆

NAS Sweet Spot

6-12TB is the most popular NAS capacity range. IronWolf Pro and Red Pro dominate here with vibration sensors and multi-bay optimization.

⚔️

IronWolf Pro vs Ultrastar

IronWolf Pro includes IronWolf Health Management and AgileArray. Ultrastar offers higher workload rating (550 vs 300 TB/yr). Both are CMR and excellent.

📊

Helium Sealed

8TB+ SATA drives use helium-sealed platters for cooler, quieter operation with lower power draw. Failure rates on helium drives are among the lowest in the industry.

💰

Best $/TB Tier

This capacity range often delivers the best $/TB for SATA enterprise storage, especially on 8-12TB Exos and Ultrastar refurb units.

Frequently Asked Questions

29 in-stock listings out of 29 tracked; the cheapest is the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB ST8000DMZ04 at $229.99 ($28.75/TB). The table on this page is the live ranking.

Both are in stock: 16 new and 13 recertified or used. The cheapest new is the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB ST8000DMZ04 at $249.99, the cheapest recertified or used the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB ST8000DMZ04 at $229.99 - a 8% shelf gap between two different models, not a like-for-like discount. New carries the manufacturer's warranty; recertified a reseller's.

8 of the 29 tracked listings carry a manufacturer-sourced conventional (CMR/ePMR) recording value, including the WD Red Pro 8TB NAS WD8003FFBX and the WD WD Purple 8TB WD84PURZ. 21 are not sourced either way - an unsourced drive is never assumed CMR here.

Seagate, WD, Toshiba - that is what has live or recently-live listings, not the manufacturers' full line-ups.
