I've used “Vast and fast” to describe previous hard drives I've reviewed, but I'm not sure that it's ever been this spectacularly well-deserved. Seagate's 3.5-inch, 7,200rpm, SATA 6Gbps Barracuda Pro not only delivers a stunning 10TB of storage, it laid d...
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...

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...
