Abstract: Hitachi recently started shipping a pair of 4 TB hard drives. We can see that they're pretty expensive, but how do they compare to existing 3 TB models in other ways? It’s time for a comprehensive overview of today's high-capacity hard drive offerings....
Abstract: Hard drives able to hold 3 TB of data need to be considered carefully because they might not always work as expected. This round-up of four high-capacity disks compares products from Hitachi, Seagate, and Western Digital, then covers their caveats. The...

The Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 surprised us: although less powerful than high-end HDDs, it runs rings round other mid-range models. In fact, it stands out on its own somewhere between mid-range and high-end disks. At the right price, the 5K3000 could prov...
Unfortunately there's no such thing as the perfect hard drive and you'll have to choose your drive according to your priorities. If you’re looking for performance, for a model that will also be serving as a primary drive for example, you’ll want to go ...
When we consider the qualities we like to see in a "green" hard drive, the Deskstar 5K3000 2TB is middle of the road. Its energy efficiency is unable to touch WD's Caviar Green series, though it is a big improvement over Seagate's Barracuda Green/LP. ...

The Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a low-power, high capacity hard drive to their HTPC, home server or desktop computer. Thanks to technologies like HiVERT and CoolSpin, the 5K3000 uses less power and is quiet...

Malheureusement si le WD Caviar Black (WD2002FAEX) et l'Hitachi 7K3000 (HDS723020BLA642) luttent pour les premières places en termes de performances, le premier est bruyant lors d'accès alors que le second mériterait d'être plus discret en rotation. Si vo...
