For over a year now, we've been asking for just three things in a desktop hard drive: 7,200rpm speed, 4TB capacity, and 1TB per platter. That's all we've asked for, and we don't think we're being unreasonable, since all we want is the maximum amount of sp...
1TB per platter, fast and quiet, very affordable.

Do you need mass storage? A lot of mass storage? If the answer is yes, then we have just the drive for you courtesy of Seagate Technologies. Seagate has just launched their new “Desktop HDD” line of drives. All are 5900 RPM drives for low power consum...
As I pointed out at the beginning of this review, large capacity mechanical hard drives are still an integral part of the ideal storage solution. Ideally you want an SSD for your operating system and applications but, capacity is going to cost you an a...

While a lot of people still use 7,200RPM hard drives as their main drives, SSDs are fast becoming the first choice for desktop enthusiasts. Even laptops have shown a tendency to go with SSDs because of performance gains. As such, 3.5-inch HDDs with hig...

The above real world tests show that despite the incredible transfer speeds thanks to higher density platters, the Seagate Barracuda 3TB is still limited by the harsh realities of life: 7,200RPM hard drives with relatively tiny cache just cannot hope t...

When it comes to adding a performance-enhancing upgrade to your system, a good SSD can’t be beat, but storage capacity is an ever-growing need as well. There was a time when a 1TB drive seemed grossly (deliciously?) excessive for the average user, but...
Solid performance, Huge capacity, Price (comparatively)...
Prices for hard drives are most definitely on the increase these days due to shortages, and that issue is expected to continue (though it may abate somewhat) through 2012. Costs for HDDs are also not especially consistent from vendor to vendor at the mom...

The Barracuda 3TB is Seagate's new flagship desktop hard drive with 64MB of cache, a 7200 RPM spindle speed, and huge 1TB platters.
The Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive beat out all 7200 RPM models in our overall performance index, topped only by the 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor 600GB. It excelled mainly in the file copy and application sections, particularly in tests that dealt wit...

The new 3TB Barracuda drive is able to yield a 10-15% gain over the old Barracuda XT. As our tests show, the new drive excels in the sequential read and write. However, the drive is a bit slower in the random write compare to the older drive. We belie...

Platter density has been the crutch of hard drive makers in recent history. Increasing spindle speeds can reduce random access latency, but at the expense of cost and thermals. Improvements in random access performance via increasing spindle speed pa...
The new 3TB Barracuda is a bit faster in sequential performance than the old Barracuda XT, at lower power consumption. In typical desktop workloads I think it's fairly safe to say that you wouldn't notice the difference between the Barracuda and Barracuda...

Up until a couple of months ago, the 4TB desktop market was bare. Alright, it's still bare, but it's been made better with the help of the drive we're taking a look at here, Seagate's Desktop HDD.15. The reason? Its pricing, of about ~$190 (it can be foun...

Seagate's new 3.5” Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000 changes things up a bit in the company's desktop hard drive family compared to its predecessor, the Barracuda 7200.14. Most notably, the spindle speed is down from 7200 to 5900 RPM. The Desktop HDD.15 is the f...

SSDs have cornered the market for high-performance system drives, relegating their mechanical counterparts to secondary storage. Traditional hard drives are simply too slow to keep up with the flash-based alternatives that have taken the PC industry by st...
The Desktop HDD.15 is an impressive hard drive. It packs four terabytes for only $190—by far the lowest asking price of any 4TB SATA offering. Seagate reaches that capacity with only four platters, which is a first in the industry. Competing solutions ne...
