Seagate provides a 5year warranty and also a 2year of their Rescue data plan which might come in handy if something ever happens to the drive. If you're looking to buy a strong and reliable HDD to store all your digital stuff
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...

There has rarely been a simpler product to sum up in the history of OC3D.The Seagate Barracuda Compute Pro 10TB has an almost unbelievable capacity. Ten terabytes. TEN. In a world where a 1TB date drive is very much the norm, and if you're a particularly hea...
The new BarraCuda Pro 10TB HDD by Seagate has far too many similarities with the IronWolf 10TB model so we never really expected it to do much better and just looking out our charts you can see that this is partially true. Both drives featur...

Abstract: Seagate has recently announced their Guardian Series of hard drives that delivers storage capacity up to 10TB, that is 10,000 GB! It is crazy to even think about what to do with that much storage space. We believe that fora typical household, if you conso...
This is an absolutely fantastic hard drive. But 10TB is massive overkill for the average consumer. And data redundancy in the form of a $1,000 mirrored RAID pair is very pricey.Warnings aside. To heck with it—if the powers that be let me keep this drive...

It's been some time we've looked a a consumer 3.5″ hard drive, but we are glad that we were able to take a look at the first 10TB consumer hard drive. This is also our first time getting to try out a Helium filled drive and we have to say that we are impr...

Abstract: As new cameras continue to offer higher and higher resolution, and many photographers are shooting and saving memory-intensive Raw files and 4K video, some of us have begun to outgrow the capacity of our storage devices. Seagate has addressed this issue w...
