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
Seagate gained a bad reputation for disk failures over the last few years, but the failures weren't entirely Seagate's fault. For many years large retailers shipped drives in substandard packaging. It was common to wrap a drive with bubble wrap and toss i...

It is always a race for who can deliver the first hard drive with a higher capacity to the Hardware.Info test lab. This time it is Seagate to win it and they do it with style. The Barracuda Pro 12TB is not only the biggest, but also the fastest hard drive...

Huge capacity, 5-year warranty
Expensive, Kitguru says: The demand for cheap storage shows no sign of slowing down and Seagate's new 12TB BarraCuda Pro may not be that cheap at first glance for a standard hard drive but it is offering a huge amount of capacity in a single drive, Rati
Seagate's standard BarraCuda desktop hard drive range ends at 4TB, the BarraCuda Pro range however, goes way past this to the new flagship of the lineup, the leviathan 12TB drive. Although there are even bigger drives to be had in the enterprise segment...

The latest iteration of the Seagate Barracuda 4TB leaves a good impression. The latest model is faster than its predecessor, but still not noisy. The WD Blue 4TB is just as quiet but clearly slower, while the Toshiba drives offer similar performance at hi...
Hard drives of 10 TB are very expensive, with prices that start at an average of about 372 pounds / 430 euros, but the test results are excellent. All drives in the test are fast, and in part thanks to the used helium they are primarily quiet in idle – an...
We are starting this conclusion with the 6TB-drives. The Toshiba MD04ACA 6TB and X300 6TB offer good performance in this segment for a relatively low price, but are clearly audible with noise levels that are nearly at 40 dB(A) when idle. Nevertheless th...
Abstract: Now that the prices of SSDs have dropped to well below 50 cents per GB, we expect that only few Hardware.Info readers will still want to use a conventional hard drive as their primary storage device. We still can't quite live without them, however, beca...
Abstract: Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...
Abstract: SSDs are of course the hippest and fastest form of storage, but if you want lots of storage capacity without breaking the bank, you're still relegated to the familiar realm of the hard disk. There's still some choice out there in this category, and pric...
The performance of the Barracuda 7200.14 is simply outstanding. It belongs to the fastest 7200rpm hard drives that are currently available. Not only that, the disk is also more affordable than the high-end 7200rpm 2TB drives from other brands. In a fut...
