Hitachi's storage division has been bought by Western Digital, but currently still exists independently. That's good news, as the Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 4TB hard disk is the best high-capacity hard disk. It's worth noting that, if you install it in a...
It's fast, enormous and great value, making this the perfect disk if you need a lot of storage...

Hitachi recently started shipping a pair of 4 TB hard drives. We can see that they're pretty expensive, but how do they compare to existing 3 TB models in other ways? It’s time for a comprehensive overview of today's high-capacity hard drive offerings...

Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...

SSDs are of course the hippest and fastest form of storage, but if you want lots of storage capacity without breaking the bank, you're still relegated to the familiar realm of the hard disk. There's still some choice out there in this category, and pric...

It's not all about SSDs when it comes to storage these days. 'Traditional' hard drives are still very much alive as well. Hitachi proves this by introducing the first disks with a capacity of 4 TB. Hardware.Info extensively tested two of them to see how...

Now that the prices of SSDs have dropped to well below 50 cents per GB, we expect that only few Hardware.Info readers will still want to use a conventional hard drive as their primary storage device. We still can't quite live without them, however, beca...

This might sound ungrateful of me, but I was disappointed when the 4TB HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 landed on my test bench. I have a huge amount of respect for Hitachi and was intrigued to see what might be coming down the pipeline since it became a wholly owne...

The Hitachi Ultrastar 7K4000 4TB made its first appearance on Maximum PC back in September 2012, when a gaggle of them debuted in the Dream Machine. At the time, they were the only 7,200rpm 4TB drives available, so they fit right in among all the othe...
Huge capacity; fast, superlong MTBF.
Totally overpriced; not the best performance in its class.

When i first started using a personal computer i remember that i chose a configuration with an 300MB hard disk drive which was not only the highest capacity drive available at the time but it also cost as much as half of the entire system. Almost 22 years...

After i finished benchmarking all over again all the drives i have here i was expecting to see performance numbers along the same exact line as the 7K3000 series since the only difference (at least the only obvious one) with the latest 7K4000 line is the...

We all know (or at least most of us) that hard disk drives are much slower than solid state drives and so using the second just to house the primary OS (operating system) is always the ideal scenario. However no one can deny the splendid price/capacity ra...

Based on our results it's quite clear that SATA II and SATA III are not at all apart in terms of performance (at least not with hard disk drives) which actually makes sense since the maximum speed of SATA II can reach 300MB/s (3Gb/s). Still we can only of...

WD's VelociRaptor 1TB might be the fastest hard drive in the world, but it could also be the loudest. The new Scorpio Blue 500GB is a different kind of drive, a single-platter notebook model with ultra-low acoustics.

One of the things i always wanted to try (and it seems many of you wanted that as well judging by the many emails i received when i first mentioned this) was to test the same exact hard disk drive with both SATA II and SATA III connectivity to see if ther...

From the results of all our tests it's quite clear that SATA III performs more or less the same (wins in some benchmarks, falls back in others) as SATA II with standard mechanical hard disk drives something which doesn't really come as a surprise if we ta...
