WD and Seagate have had NAS-ready hard drives in the market place for quite some time – WD with the Red and Red Pro series and Seagate with the NAS, IronWolf and IronWolf Pro drives so it will be interesting to see how much of an inroad into the market To...

The newer SKUs of the N300 4TB drives do come with 256MB of cache (such as our sample) and coupled with a better hardware revision / newer firmware version the drive can deliver considerably better performance. The sequential read/write speeds are now hig...

The N300 12TB drive from Toshiba incorporates 1.56TB PMR platters by Showa Denko and is helium-filled. Compared to regular, up 10TB models, the HDD produces less noise, consumes less power and is even lighter! The advertised Stable Platter Technology mean...

Abstract: The best product we tried was easily the WD Blue 4TB PC Hard Drive, which offers quick transfer speeds of 6Gb/s, a fuss-free two year warranty and an easy install that offers near plug-and-play simplicity to most personal computers. We also liked that thi...
