We had a look with Seagate's NAS HDD earlier. This time we're taking a look at its Desktop HDD counterpart 4TB ST4000DM000 drive. Desktop HDDs are available in capacities up to 5TB. Seagate Desktop HDD 4TB uses an odd spindle spin speed of 5,900 RPM with...

While SSDs are the best choice in roles that need high speed (mostly boot drives for the home user), many people need large amounts of storage space, and traditional hard drives still give the best value per gigabyte. Four-terabyte drives are the bigge...

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.

First, Seagate renamed its Barracuda hard drive family to Desktop HDD.15. Then, it introduced the first model in the new line-up—the Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000. Does Seagate's first massive 4 TB desktop disk deliver the performance we want or disappoint?...
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...

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...

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...

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...
The Barracuda 3TB displayed a few splashes of read-speed brilliance and matched up decently with the other similarly-spec’d drives in our tests. Taken as a whole, the differences between the three best performers were relatively small, although the tr...

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...

There comes a time when your hard drive start to warn you that it is about to fail, and if the drive is almost seven years old you might be okay with that, but at least you know that the drive has had a useful lifespan. However sometimes things don't go a...
I will start by saying that I am not happy with the two-year warranty that most new hard drives offer, and you have to pay a nice premium to go above three years or closer to five. The main thing that lets this drive down is the warranty. The read write p...

In general, nothing radically new we saw – just “helium” discs began to gradually penetrate into the mass sector. On performance, this did not affect too much: the firmware in BarraCuda Pro is clearly optimized for “personal scripts”, just imagine a perso...
