Seagate continues to deliver with its helium-filled 10TB solutions. With their entry into the mainstream, there is no way you can ignore the price or performance of the Barracuda Pro hard drive.

The first one of these was DOA but the RMA process via NCIX was easy enough amd the second is working fine. I think the drive is pretty good but also expensive with a price tag close to $500.
Pros:
  • -big capacity
  • -good warranty time (5 years) and data recovery assistance (for the first 2 years I believe
  • -fast drive
Cons:
  • -little louder than I thought it would be and slow to spin up fully at boot

Essential if you have a large games library

You might wonder why we need these traditional 'old school' technology hard drives these days. But now that I have one in my new computer build, it definitely makes a lot of sense.

Surprisingly fast for a HDD. Just a bit noisy.

This hard drive offers fast sustained write speeds. Was getting 227 MB/s write speeds copying large video and RAW photos over from a SSD. The only thing is the drive's a bit noisy. I have a quiet case but still noticed the noise level this drive produces compared to my older WD Black Drive.

Huge, very fast drive

This drive has a transfer rate just under half of some very fast SSD drives I have...for a mechanical drive, it's freakin' fast!
Pros:
  • Installed and formatted with no problems
  • Formats at 9.09TB...will hold massive amounts of data...even a ton of Blu-ray movies
  • Used CrystalDiskMark to benchmark and got very good transfer rates: Sequential Read: 245.6MB/s Sequential Write: 232.6MB/s I also did a real time data transfer from my...
Cons:
  • So far
  • I have no complaints at all about this drive
