Today we have the first 12Gb/s SAS HDD in our labs for testing, Seagate's 6TB nearline Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v4. A few months ago, Seagate brought an entire family of 7,200 RPM drives in capacities of 6, 5, 4 and 2TB drives to the familiar 3.5" form...
Seagate’s new ES.3 series is their latest salvo in the enterprise hard drive market. With a capacity of up to 4TB, incredible performance, increased longevity over standard drives and a five year comprehensive warranty, it sets a new high water mark i...
Seagate recently updated its enterprise class lineup to increase the capacity available up to 4TB with the introduction of the Constellation ES.3 4TB drive. Delivering drives with larger capacities results in needing fewer drives to reach targeted storage...
The amount of data in the world is endlessly multiplying, heading towards a projected 40 trillion gigabytes by 2020, but IT budgets are not increasing at such a rapid clip. Seagate's release of their 6TB nearline Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v4 addresses t...

With a mere 3 options for the consumer and 3 for the enterprise, the current 4TB market is small. Where's our “Green” option from Seagate? WD? HGST? Your guess is as good as ours.While the consumer 4TB situation at the moment is depressing, the enterprise...
The Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5" hard drive line is the newly rebranded family of high capacity hard drives of which the Constellation ES.3 is the newest member. The ES.3 is a 7,200 RPM, 3.5" enterprise hard drive with SAS or SATA 6Gb/s interface that...
When it comes to PCs and MACs most people believe that the heart of the system is the CPU with the exception of gamers who naturally put the GPU (graphics card) above everything else. I too had the same opinion almost a decade ago but slowly and after cou...
If we exclude the unfortunate floods that took place in Thailand roughly a year ago (and forced several factories to cease HDD manufacturing and shipping) HDD prices normally get serious cuts each day that goes by (as do SSD prices) and so currently even...
The hard drive market has become a lot less sexy in the past few years thanks to SSDs. What we used to consider "fast" for a hard drive is relatively slow compared to even the cheapest of today's solid state drives. But there are two areas where hard drives still rule the roost, and that's in terms of overall capacity and cost per gigabyte. Right now you can buy a 4TB hard drive for the same cost as a 256GB SSD, so the two are in separate universes in that regard. We love SSDs and think just about everyone should run their OS on one, but most aren't large enough to hold all user data over a long period of time, so we still need hard drives for bulk storage duties, and will continue to need them until we can buy similar capacity SSDs at similar prices....
