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....

It actually took us quite a bit more time than we had initially expected to finish this review because after performing the latest firmware update on our LSI MegaRAID 9265-8i SATA/SAS card we witnessed a large performance boost on RAID0 configurations (es...

Given the top-side capacity of 4TB, SAS interface, and performance bump over the prior generation drive, the Seagate Constellation ES.3 provides a compelling value proposition in the performance 7,200RPM enterprise hard drive space. ...
Abstract: 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...
