Last year, both WD and Seagate refreshed their hard drive series for desktop use. Back then we were positive about the new WD Blue 4TB, but we did not have to wait long for Seagate to answer. Today we test the Seagate Barracuda 4TB (ST4000DM005): how doe...

The latest iteration of the Seagate Barracuda 4TB leaves a good impression. The latest model is faster than its predecessor, but still not noisy. The WD Blue 4TB is just as quiet but clearly slower, while the Toshiba drives offer similar performance at hi...

If we had not mentioned before, then we should point out that Seagate's BarraCuda Pro HDD is, at current, the fastest HDD storage that we've currently tested. But more importantly, Intel's Optane Memory played a crucial role in shaving down the boot-up ti...

The Barracuda Pro comes in 6TB, 8TB and 10TB flavours, and with a 7,200RPM rotational speed it's quick – in fact Seagate is claiming it's the fastest range of hard drives for that capacity range. And indeed they are. WD's drives above 2TB all spin at appr...

The hard drive to own if you want something big and fast.

While the price of SSDs continues to drop, the ‘old' hard drive is still the cheapest way to store a lot of data. Especially in a NAS or Mini-ITX system, where there is limited physical space you probably want a drive with as much capacity as possible...

We are starting this conclusion with the 6TB-drives. The Toshiba MD04ACA 6TB and X300 6TB offer good performance in this segment for a relatively low price, but are clearly audible with noise levels that are nearly at 40 dB(A) when idle. Nevertheless th...

I've used “Vast and fast” to describe previous hard drives I've reviewed, but I'm not sure that it's ever been this spectacularly well-deserved. Seagate's 3.5-inch, 7,200rpm, SATA 6Gbps Barracuda Pro not only delivers a stunning 10TB of storage, it laid d...

This is an absolutely fantastic hard drive. But 10TB is massive overkill for the average consumer. And data redundancy in the form of a $1,000 mirrored RAID pair is very pricey.Warnings aside. To heck with it—if the powers that be let me keep this drive...

Expensive, Kitguru says: The demand for cheap storage shows no sign of slowing down and Seagate's new 12TB BarraCuda Pro may not be that cheap at first glance for a standard hard drive but it is offering a huge amount of capacity in a single drive, Rati...

Seagate's standard BarraCuda desktop hard drive range ends at 4TB, the BarraCuda Pro range however, goes way past this to the new flagship of the lineup, the leviathan 12TB drive. Although there are even bigger drives to be had in the enterprise segment...

When I reviewed the Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST10000DM0004 10TB in January of this year, I was very impressed at how it lived up to the company's promotional material regarding its "lightning-fast performance and titanic storage". As we come upon the end of...

Seagate released the Guardian Series in mid-2016 with a focus on high performance, capacity, and reliability. Seagate designed its flagship desktop HDD for creative professionals, enthusiasts, and gamers. It features a speedy 7,200-RPM design with up to 1...

Seagate gained a bad reputation for disk failures over the last few years, but the failures weren't entirely Seagate's fault. For many years large retailers shipped drives in substandard packaging. It was common to wrap a drive with bubble wrap and toss i...

The highest capacity of currently available hard drives is 10 TB, that are suited for those who want to put a single hard drive in their system despite their high price- or if you are using a NAS with a limited amount of bays. In this article we compare f...

Hard drives of 10 TB are very expensive, with prices that start at an average of about 372 pounds / 430 euros, but the test results are excellent. All drives in the test are fast, and in part thanks to the used helium they are primarily quiet in idle – an...

In the summer of last year we finally went into the double digits in terms of storage capacity of 3.5"-hard disks. At the last moment of 2017 Seagate takes the next step, because the manufacturer sent us the first hard drive with a storage capacity of 12T...

It is always a race for who can deliver the first hard drive with a higher capacity to the Hardware.Info test lab. This time it is Seagate to win it and they do it with style. The Barracuda Pro 12TB is not only the biggest, but also the fastest hard drive...

For storage of lots of data, a hard drive is the best option for the time being, especially now that SSD prices are rising rather than falling. Luckily there is still enough innovation in the hard disk field. Time for a new comparative test with no less t...

Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...
