Seagate Barracuda XT: specifications & data recovery

About the Barracuda XT

The Barracuda XT was one of the first consumer SATA 6Gb/s drives and an early 3TB model, popular in high-end desktops and early RAID builds.

Not sure which model you have? The model or part number is printed on the drive’s top label, for example ST2000DM008 or WD40EFRX.

How we recover Barracuda XT data

We image the drive with hardware that copes with weak heads and bad sectors, replacing heads or motors in clean-room conditions when needed, then rebuild the file system from the copy.

Common questions

Can you recover data from a failed Seagate Barracuda XT?

In most cases, yes. Mechanical faults are repaired with matched donor parts in a clean-air environment; firmware faults are corrected at service-area level. Every recovery works from an image, never the original.

Where do I find my hard drive model number?

The model or part number is printed on the drive’s top label, for example ST2000DM008 or WD40EFRX.

What does data recovery cost?

Every case starts with a professional evaluation (£94.80), followed by a fixed quote.
