  • 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...

  • Great performance for a 5,400RPM disk, but the faster 7k3000 costs £44 less, and is the obvious choice. ...

  • 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. ...

  • With all of that being said, the higher density, lower cooling requirements, and still acceptable speed does make the Hitachi 5K3000 3TB a solid alternative to 2TB models. For most file server scenarios these drives provide an acceptable amount of perform...

  • Available in 1.5TB, 2TB and 3TB capacities, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Good read and write speeds, Power efficient, Quiet operation, 32MB cache, Affordably priced, 3 year warranty
  • High access times
  • 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...

  • Abstract:  Si la capacité de 3 To impressionne, les disques durs de cette taille posent de réels problèmes de compatibilité sur une majorité de configurations, pas toutes capables de les à reconnaitre et/ou de les gérer convenablement. Il faut donc être particuli...

  • 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...
