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...

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...

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...
