With every new generation, hard drive manufactures keep pushing the boundaries of what was once thought impossible and are releasing models with dramatic increases in both performance and capacity. Unfortunately, consumers' demands have increased and an e...
With all of the headline-grabbing advances on the solid state storage front, the equally impressive achievements happening in the typical spindle-based market pass largely unnoticed. Well its time to sit up and take notice because Seagate has shown the e...

Eye, watering initial pricing for 6TB disks...
Lower-cost drives will surely trickle down soon and for business environments, the ability to add 50% of fast extra storage without requiring additional rack space could be worth more than the high retail price of the drive. Seagate offers a five-year wa...

Many, if not most of you, might remember the days of hard drives with just Megabytes of data. It wasn't until 1980 when the first 5.25-inch hard disk was actually released by Seagate. Before that, the idea of storage was left to the lab monkeys budgets. T...

Cost, it is going to cost you a little more for the enterprise quality.
Well, I think it is safe to say that the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 6TB 3.5 HDD v4 is indeed a BEAST. I think I've said "beast" quite enough times throughout the review, often more referring to the size of this drive, but along with its large capacity is...

In recent times “enthusiast” storage has all been about SSDs. They offer great speeds and as we have progressed from generation to generation capacity has been on the rise with prices constantly falling. Now new models generally have a 900GB-1TB model, ma...
When thinking about the build quality of a “traditional” hard drive, there isnt a lot to say about the differences from major manufacturers. Yes some may prefer to get a drive from a particular manufacturing plant based on past experience but overall as l...

Hard disk drive capacities have increased more (skyrocketed is more like it) in the past 5 years than in the 20 years prior and although we've yet to reach the point which I've been waiting for (drives exceeding 20TB in capacity) still we do have models w...

Getting to the 6TB level presented some problems, as only five platters normally fit in a standard 3.5 inch drive and the 1TB platter is the largest common standard. Manufacturers have got around this limitation in different ways. Hitachi made waves with...
The Seagate Enterprise Class 3.5 HDD V4 6TB is an exceptional performer, shaming all the 7200 RPM drives that preceded it. It also came a hair's breadth away from toppling the 10,000 RPM VelociRaptor 1TB, while offering six times more storage space. Power...

On a normal day, I tend to have about 110GB of storage on me. That's just counting my cellphone's internal storage, one extra MicroSD card, and the Patriot Stellar USB/OTG attached to my keychain. Nothing fancy by today's standards you might argue; but if...

As far as I'm concerned capacity always comes before performance because simply put the second is not really needed when you just want plenty of backup space (for example what good would it do if my media collection was stored on a 1TB SSD instead of a 1T...

One of the myths surrounding SED drives always has been their reduced performance levels compared to their normal brothers so after checking our charts there's not much for me to add since the only difference we could spot between the normal Enterprise Ca...
